Those of you who smoke cigars as well as pipes have all experienced how a pipe that has gone out for quite a while can be relit, with minimal, if any, negative impact on the tobacco’s taste. Yet if you try that with a cigar, you’ll almost inevitably be met with an ashy stale taste that basically ruins the rest of the stick. My question is why? What makes the difference? Anyone know? I’ve been curious about this ever since picking up pipes.
