Asking b/c if there is something important that comes up i must attend to it immediately and don't have time to let it sit and burn out.

It'll go out pretty quick unless there's a breeze on it.

Get a cheap or pricy stand, put it in it and come back later,

I've experienced the fact many times that a pipe that has been extinguished and later relit can indeed be further enjoyed and only once I found out a cigar relit does taste foul. Why is that?

a couple weekends ago i was at a poker game and was outside having a smoke. when i went back in i didn't want any residual smoke coming out of the pipe (it was mostly out already) so i put my thumb over it and kinda forgot i was holding it that way for a few minutes. when i lifted my thumb there was quite a bit of sticky resin in a ring on my thumb, just inside where the rim of the bowl pressed. i was smoking escudo at the time.

I many time do as said and just set it down, or I use my tamper tool and tamp it lightly to help it go out faster, works like a charm. Just do not stick a just extingused pipe in your motorcycle jacket pocket and go riding, the will come back to life in the breeze, dont ask how I would know that... two bottles of water later, a neat dance on the side of the road, and a few $ for a new jacket :crying:

No surprise here - I have yet another theory!
I suspect that cigars (and to a lesser degree, cigarettes) pick up that acrid flavour when allowed to go out simply because the smoke particles trapped in the tobacco cool, and cause micro-droplets of bitter nastiness to adhere to the tobacco - basically the same crap we swab out with pipe-cleaners. I suspect that this tarry, wet sludge imparts the bitter flavours; but also serves to enhance the ammonic qualities of the leaf.

Trial and error has revealed that you can alleviate this to some degree by actually exhaling down the length of the cigar (or cigarette) once extinguished to remove some of the trapped smoke - but it will still change the flavour profile; just not to the same tongue-wrenching degree.

Someone i know used to smoke cigars and he would relight them. He would cut the end off (about a 1cm off)

Most pipes will go out rather quickly if you set it down. I do have one though that will stay lit for a good long time, it is drilled so well it will continue to draw. But it is a rare case.
