Tell me I'm not the only one who really likes the hot smoke of a nice full flavored stick at the last third... It just does something special for me :)

If your cigar holds that much flavor in the last third then you're doing something right as far as humidification goes and letting it rest for a good amount of time. Usually the last part of a cigar is where most people pitch em...because they haven't been marinating as long as they should. Some are so good that when I get them down to the last 1/2 inch I put the rest into a pipe and finish them.

Well, no pipe involved here, but I do have toasted fingertips after spending a wonderful 80 minutes with a tat black petit lance. Just kept getting better!

yeah, kinda like a good frozen dessert, where you just lose it at some point and DEVOUR al, the rest, even knowing you're going to get a bad case of brain freezies? or really spicy food, where the only releif is eating more, faster? patience and restraint in pacing, to get the most out of the profile, and to give you time to reflect, are all well and good, but sometimes you just have to power down and see how far you can smoke one. o)

... aaaand now i made myself hungry. o(

If I like something that much, I just go and get another one.

That's all well and good for someone who has a massive humidor with 7 or 8 sticks, but for someone like me who only keeps a very small amount on hand, that's not an option. In addition, the ones I do have are one offs (in my collection) so having a second one is a luxury I can't afford. Having said that, when I get to the last third, I usually burn fingers and lips trying to get every last bit out of it. I have attempted to use the pipes on several different occasions, but they haven't worked well for me...

Never thought about tossing it in the pipe. Some how I think that if I've already enjoyed 15/16 of a good cigar, I'm being greedy trying to get the last little bit. I just write it down if I don't have anymore, or consider myself lucky if there are more in my humi.
