I Just got a Cigar for my Birthday, it’s 6 Inches long (44 RG in Diameter for those who know about Cigars) and I was wondering how Long it would take to smoke it? I’ve only ever smoked two cigars, so I’m not sure.
It really depends upon the cigar; shape and size of course, but also type of tobacco and how it was rolled, plus any other enhancements, like soaking in rum, etc.
In general though, a nice 6 inch long cigar, savored with a wee dram of single malt, could last as long as 30-40 minutes. If it’s a cheap stogie it might take 5-10 minutes to turn you green and invoke reverse peristalsis.
Bottom line, give yourself some time to enjoy and savor the experience.
Mine usually last an hour. My preference is Arturo Fuente reserve. That said, at the same time I’m also sipping Bourbon and coke. Just step into the lounge and enjoy and most of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
its really gonna depend on how fast you smoke it. If i had to guess, i’d say anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. Only a guess though.
All cigars are different if you have a real good one it can be smoked for an hour just be careful how you keep it though if kept outside in the open the humidity will destroy it quite fast
Really does depend on the individual.
As long as you aren’t hotboxing, 40 minutes plus…..
Not too long
