Thanks for the contest Buzz. I was about to post this, and I accidentally closed the browser

Anyway,

Volume of 1 cigar = (50/64)^2*pi/4 * 5" = 2.395in^3
Volume of pile of peach backwoods soaked in tequila = 2.395*150=359.3in^3 or 0.208cf of flammable material
Therefore, the pile emits 51.98BTU / second @ steady state (whatever that means)

A BTU is defined as the amount of energy required to raise one pound of WATER 1 degree.

Because the room is full of air, and not water, this is where my brain curls up into the fetal position and guesses 299 seconds.
