Weekly Poll Comp: Show us your Ash!

[david9985]

I enjoy trying to time the ashing until it's on the verge of dropping. So when I nudge it on the ashtray it's already just about falling off before any pressure is even required. It doesn't matter all that much and I don't get upset when it falls on me some of the time.

This was a SP Belicoso from last week. I think it fell on me ultimately.

All good fun! 😃

Caramel, chocolate milk, and a touch of salted malt—like dessert with a side of leather. A cool draw, steady burn (until it got ideas), and flavors that kept me hooked.

The ash? Hung on like it was unionized. I let it ride out of pure superstition( Although I do believe it provides me with optimal flavor)…Eventually it bailed… all over my lap. Zero regrets.

I struggled mightily with this 48. Easily the worst I've had in terms of construction as it looked to have an odd bunch on the right, but dog-legged left off the start and it wasn't a humidity issue as the box has been properly rotated and kept a solid 65rh. 

I try to keep my ash as long as possible,  but today's efforts weren't in vein as she straightened out after the first ash.

C'est la vie

I often get better flavors after ash fall on something like a SCdH or MC. Conversely, something like a Cohiba or HdM DC I'll keep the ash as much as I can as the flavor is better with the insulation.

Regardless, I'm going to get covered unless I'm paying attention, which is rare.
