Your cigar has a temperature regulator. That's right! It's called the ash. Cigars can easily overheat especially from constant puffing. The ash keeps the cigar cool by acting as a buffer between the air and the lit tobacco. Thereby, keeping your cigar cooler and preventing it from becoming bitter. Premium cigars are made with whole tobacco leaves, which lets the ash last way into the final third of your smoking journey. So, keep a cool head, a cooler cigar, and let the ash linger.
