Unfortunately, the provided reference discusses how to cut a cigar to prepare it for smoking, not how to extinguish one. Therefore, the reference does not provide information on how to "off a cigar". To provide a comprehensive answer, I will need to consult other sources of information related to cigar smoking.
Here's information on how to properly extinguish a cigar:
While it might seem simple, extinguishing a cigar correctly is important for safety and to avoid unpleasant smells. Unlike cigarettes, cigars should not be stubbed out.
Here's how to properly extinguish a cigar:
-
Let it go out on its own: The best way to extinguish a cigar is to simply let it sit in an ashtray and burn out on its own. This is the safest method.
-
Gently place it in the ashtray: Gently place the cigar in the ashtray, allowing the cherry to be smothered. Do not crush or grind it out.
-
Allow it to cool: After it appears to be extinguished, let the cigar sit in the ashtray for an extended period to ensure it's completely cool. A smoldering cigar can still produce smoke and potentially be a fire hazard.
-
Proper Ventilation: Make sure the area is well-ventilated while the cigar extinguishes to avoid a lingering, unpleasant odor.
