At the Modern Day Gentleman, we are often asked the question, “When do I know that my cigar is finished, and when should I stop smoking it?”.

The beauty behind the answer is in its simplicity and its clarity.

A gentleman is finished smoking his cigar as soon it hinders his ability to enjoy the moment he is present in.

Fine and distinguished readers, if you aren’t enjoying your cigar, by all means put it out!

Smoking a cigar is an experience. It’s about being present in a moment that connects you to your thoughts, and enables you to share those thoughts with those around you.

So do yourself a favor next time you’re enjoying a smoke, and release yourself from the pressure of needing to burn it all the way down.

Now go, esteemed gentlemen, and enjoy.
