what if, i dont have time to let it burn out. for example while on break at work. would it be possible to cut it with a guiotene, without damaging the wrapper.

This is a tough one. It really goes smoke by smoke. If you cigar is burning hot the wrapper just below the burn line could end up being to brittle (dried out, partially cooked) to cut. If you can't just let it go out as discussed further up this thread you may want to look into a storage tube for partially smoked cigars. Most have a screen at the bottom. They are designed so that if you put them in ash down as the cigar puts it self out the ashes will, or should, fall through the screen. I have never used one so I can't comment on its effectiveness.

Well if that be the case jdavis, then use a Cigar Savor. You put it inside the tube, screw the cap on and the cigar goes out immediately because of lack of oxygen.

with those being pricey and hard to find, my cigar shop has a cigar in a glass tube, would this glass tube be sufficient.

Yeah never put the cigar in the humidor even if you cut it below the ash. I did that once and it ruined the other cigars in there. Good thing I had cheap smokes in there anyway (some bundle that came with the humidor). I had to get rid of them and then clean it out with a damp cloth and air out the whole thing for a while till anything else went back into it.

A re-lit cigar rarely tastes nearly as good as the first time IMHO, regardless of how it's extinguished. Sucking in ash dust ruins the experience. Letting it burn out, cutting the ash end off, and blowing it out makes the best of a bad practice in my experience.

Alternatively, they make many small cigars that should be helpful to you. Cohiba Pequenos and CAO Brazilia Cariocas are my fav's so far. They all come in a handy tin for easy carry too! Their small size makes them an ideal handout for folks who want to try a cigar for fun too. Many are intimidated by a larger cigars size as they don't know if they'll like it or not and don't want to waste it.

that's a sin. Cigar-Savor

( just my opinion guys )

NO cigar tastes the same after a relight. I do admit some fair better than others but none taste the same even after being out for ten minutes let alone hours.

Why not find a short smoke that you might like for the times when you can't smoke a whole cigar?

For example, Punch makes a great Panatela. They come 10 to a tin for around $10 and being a 4.5" x 29 ring smoke they're nice and quick. All of your cigar brands offer small cigars. Usually sold ten or twelve to a tin. Inexpensive too. Perfect if you have to put it out early of just need a quick smoke.

My experience with small cigars/cigarillos is that they lack flavor. About the only exception so far has been Camacho Machitos. But I haven't tried too many types yet so there is still hope.
