Just curious as to if you smoke "leftovers" or "relights" or whatever you call it, from yesterday's cigar. Recently I have found my smokes getting interrupted. Be it the girlfriend, the two year old, or just some other crap. So instead of leaving half an awesome stick in the ashtray, I started a rule for myself. If I lit a smoke and it gets put down because of something interrupting, and not because I didn't like it, before the band point. I have to finish that smoke before I light another. Or at least attempt to. I've had a couple that just sucked once relit the next day, but I have found that in general while the fist half inch or so usually tastes off once I'm past that the cigar is fine. Even then sometimes the whole thing is still good.

I do sometimes. Not preferred but it happens while driving where I end up with half left. I give a good purge and set it down. Some have been just fine
I just pitch it tried it a few times and and can't get by the bitter nasty stale tobacco part of it
Esspecally in AZ, I've left two, when I came back to them the next day they felt like stone and didn't look that good anymore, tried to relite one and tasted bad, so if I don't finish a stick it joins the ash club in a bush in front of my patio haha
Yeah... i don't relight... never worked well and they always taste off!!

I smoke half a stick at lunch (at work) and the other half after I get off. (Mostly because I'm poor..lol) the way I do it, if I'm going to relight is; put my flame to it while blowing out and burn off all of the built up oils (you will see a glowing large flame until it is gone) I then cut the cherry off to a fresh point of the cigar and proceed to purge any leftover smoke that's still inside the cigar. I know it sounds long and complicated but it's not. Some Stogies relight better than others but after a few puffs, they taste as good as new or close as it's going to get.
I'm poor as shit and avoid relights as much as possible. I've only done it a few times if I only managed to smoke 20 or so minutes before being interrupted, and if it wasn't sitting there for too long

Maybe if this is happening often. You should save your cigars for when you have time and try smoking pipes for when you have less time. You can pack half bowls. Or if you get interrupted you can re light with out it effecting your experience.
If that isn't an option. Switch to shorter smokes. Papas fritas or something along those lines.
Just my .02 cents

I bought smaller sticks. But even still I'd never relight one the next day.
