    When nothing is certain everything is possible.

    nice first try Brian but I don't think this is a contest unless you get the ash at least up to the band

    Yea that was just an attempt wasn't really meaning to enter that.
    I just happened to try it with that amount of ash and when it stood I snapped a few shots of it.
    The ash usually falls off by itself when it gets long, I can't stand to hold it up in the air when I puff to keep it from falling.

    That's why its a contest

    Most cigars wont hold an ash longer than 3 inches; so far some of the ones that I saw do pretty well are Anejo, Padrons, and come Opus X

    And those who do get the long ash to stay on the cigar amoke it a certain way for the ash to form nicely

    Looks good for a first try.

    Some smoke hold their ash very well. That Padron in the first post was smoke normally, and when it was about half done, I started thinking about doing an ash stand.

    Keep those pics coming people

    Here's a warm up smoke for me. How many pictures can we submit. If it's only one, I don't want this one to be it. I can do better.
