getting the cigar taste out of my mouth

[benfranklin]

I smoke a cigar about twice a year, and had the same problem. I have found that if I only smoke about half of it or less, the after-taste is not nearly as bad.

I have been told by a cigar smoker that you can smoke one partially, put it out, cut off the end of it, and smoke it again later. I don't know the best way to store said cigar, or the shelf life of a half-smoked cigar. I haven't tried that yet, but I still wouldn't smoke more than about 2/3 of one.
