I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for cigars that stay lit for a particularly long time. I'd like to have something that I can smoke while writing code, and my lighter is unfortunately NIGO so I'm stuck with matches. Sticks I enjoy include OWR corojo, Tatuaje Miami, Padilla Miami, Montecristo #4. Thanks!
Cigars that stay lit particularly well

They all should stay lit well if your humidor is not too moist. I prefer to keep my walk-in at 61%. It fluctuates between 63-60 but usually is on 61%. never below 60. The cigars smoke beautifully. And for those who think that's too low, I just opened up a box that is over ten years old and the cigars were phenomenal.
Thanks, my humi is at 63%, they do all smoke quite well, I just thought of this when I observed that for some reason my RP Edge corojos seem to stay lit longer than other sticks. May just be happenstance though. The issue is that I'd rather smoke something other than RP Edge.
Then I'd recomend trying some Illusione, Liga Privada, or Tatuaje cigars. All very tasty. I think you would enjoy them. Infact probably give up the Rocky's.
Most store humidors (walk ins) are kept near 70%... since they have traffic constantly opening and closing the door... So cigars that I smoke in a store tend to be a bit "wetter" than I'd like... so it leads to a feel relights
Cigars I keep at home under 65% hold fire better... It's just the way it is.
Don Carlos's do seem to stay lit exceptionally long all the time though...

Pyramids tend to hold a light better due to their unique downward tapering shape. salomon's and other upward tapering perfecto's tend to need a little coercing in order to maintain their burn.
