When I think about the art, craft and perfection that goes into a fine cigar, I almost find it criminal to smoke it any less than to the bitter end or the cap. When cigars start burning hot, near the cap, then I toss it.

But as a few others have stated, pass the 75% mark, the flavor intensity gets soooo much better. I have absolutely burned my fingers and tongue (smile) on a few cigars.

My norm, is that I smoke them to the absolute bitter end.....
