Ashing
The ash is a good measure of a quality cigar - the whiter and longer the better. However, if you are not knocking the ash off properly you can do serious damage to cigar and wrapper. The proper method is to gently touch the ash to the bottom of the ashtray. Tapping the cigar on the edge of the ashtray or with your finger will cause the wrapper to break and unravel. The wrapper is very fragile and must be handled with extreme care.
Extinguishing
Cigars, unlike cigarettes, don't get smashed out. If you are done smoking, all you have to do is leave the cigar in the ashtray and it will go out on its own. Letting the cigar go out naturally will allow you to go back and enjoy it later.
