I want you to take this seriously

[El Presidente]

 

Can you all please stop smoking past the halfway mark!!!

Doing this one thing will likely improve your smoking experience and double my cashflow 

[Chibearsv]

Give me foot long Esplendidos and I’ll stop half way…or not 😁

[NW_Oregon]

just enjoy cigars the way you like to enjoy them /s

 

everything has a right way and a wrong way, stopping half way on a cigar you're enjoying, is definitely the wrong way.

Brought to us by the same marketing firm that brilliantly instructed us all on shampoo bottles to “Lather, Rinse, Repeat”.

I recall reading that Zino Davidoff used to tell people to just smoke to half way.

 

Did I mention ,he sold cigars ?

I was going to post that but you beat me to it. He may not have been the first person to say it but he certainly promoted it!

I've always heard it attributed to Zino, but who knows who said it first. Brilliant Marketing.

Last weekend I smoked a Punch La Isla until it was burning me. It tasted wonderful to me.........

Never stopped at the halfway point unless the cigar truly sucked.

[Habana Mike]

Regardless how ancient that poster may appear it had to be post-2003.

Why you ask?

Simply look at the La Flor Dominica Chisel.... even their band.

I guess Litto's no fool. Practically Zino level promoting but very subtle!

It's not an old poster I guess.. You can see even a VR band.

No earlier than 2004 due to Trini RE and Hoyo PR. 

So many cigars there that were gone by 2002 that I would put it no later than 05-06. 

[SmokyFontaine]

These guys seem like refined cigar pros. I'd listen. Anytime I smoke more than half or so it gets really harsh and papery. It gets better once the band is done burning, but whenever I remember, I stop smoking just before it. Much better experience!

Pishandtosh! Everyone knows that all the flavour is in the first third!! Just look at the image in the bottom right. The first third is filler, the middle is binder and the last third is nothing but wrapper!!

[BrightonCorgi]

Missing a few sizes, no?

 

[La_Tigre]

Just realized that Cuban cigars are not plugged; we've been cutting the wrong end!! So thankful for this pictogram!!

2 of them. A Corona and the Don Alejandro. Should be easy to narrow the date...
