I try and let it go as long as possible before I break off the ash.

I feel that if you are constantly tipping, you're treating your cigar like a cigarette.


Your thoughts?

I hate it when the ash gets on me (especially when I'm in my garage) so I tip about every 1 - 1.25 inches

most of the time i let it fall off on its own

Long as possible. Keeping the ash short makes the cigar burn too hot. Unfortunatly this leads to cigar ash on my cloths, in the chair, inside the keyboard...:-)

Like most... when it lands in my lap!!!:-)

I'm an ash gambler, I try to ash it right before it falls on me....

I usually lose.

Also, if I need to relight i try to drop the ash off first.

:-)

That is the ideal length. At that point all your doing is chancing ash in the keyboard!

I usually let it get 1"- 1 1/2" before I ash it.I hate it when it falls on my fine silk shirts while I'm in my apartment that smells of rich mohagony :-)

I tend to ash at about 1", since I smoke indoors. Rather ash than have it drop on the floor. Never noticed any difference in flavor. :-)

Pretty much my story too, Tripp. :-)
[Reply]

Me too. But, it's hard to tell which I do more frequently, drop ashes on myself or drop my lighters.

I usually let it go around an inch if I'm sitting down or indoors. If I'm standing outside, then I let it decide.
[Reply]

I am a risk taker, a true renegade! I let the ash fall when it is ready :-)
[Reply]

im usually smoking outside so as long as it can hold on to the cigar its there.
[Reply]

:-) I usually wait too long and get it on my shirt. :-)
[Reply]

When it looks like it's going to end up on my lap or on the ground. :-)
[Reply]

I usually let it fall off naturally. :-)
[Reply]

For sure on this,,when it gets over an inch I keep my arm extended so I dont ash myself.
[Reply]

I give it a knock at around 3/4 and if it doesn't fall, I keep on going.

Not all ashes are the same. Some are flaky, some are powdery, some are solid as a rock and some just aren't worth a crap. (crap being the ones that fall off constantly)
