Not turkey.........cigars.

On Thanksgiving morning I selected a 3 year old HDM Choix Supreme, found a sunny spot on the patio and toasted it. It immediately hit my palate with those rich, nutty/woody flavors I always enjoy from this smoke.

Not 1/3 into this cigar the wife informed me that we were going to be late to her parents big feast if I didn't hurry. I very relunctley took a big puff, purged the cigar and laid it down.

This morning I selected a Rocky Patel 1992 and took the paper out to the patio. There was the remains of my Thanksgiving smoke looking just like I had left it, so I decided to try a few puffs expecting to sh*t can it.

I clipped the burnt portion with my Xikar sissors and lit it, purging a few puffs to get rid of what I expected to be a rancid taste. To my surprise all the flavors I had experienced were still there and I ended up nubbing it!

Anyone else have experiences with leftovers either good or bad?

Most of the time I wish I hadn't tried to relight, but I actually enjoyed a Trinidad robusto more a day after I first tried it, and gave up half way.
