I find myself usually smoking 6 Inch or so Toros as my preferred Cigar size and shape.
BUT, when I get to the last 2 inches or so, typically where the band sits, I usually stop because by then the stick has a warm wet flavor to it that I hate. 
Am I doing something wrong? How far do you guys smoke to?? |

Until they get uncomfortably warm.
Maybe an inch and a half. I really hate to put them down, so I come back for "one more" until they get down that far. |

No set answer,smoke until it doesn't taste good anymore or starts burning your tongue.
That wet you're describing could be a couple things. Oils get released as the leaf heats up, which obviously you'll notice more as you burn it down. Occasionally you'll get unlucky and actually get a black goo on the head, looks like tar and is super bitter. I just throw those away. The other is your humidity in your humidor might be a little high. I started getting much more enjoyable smokes when I dropped from 70% to 65%, and I try to keep Cubans at more like 63-64%. Personal preference, but they burn better, fewer relights, better flavor, and fewer instances of that sticky wet stuff you're talking about. |

When all the tobacco is gone
That is, after I'm through smoking it, I grind the clipping & remains for my pipe. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Some people claim that "purging" your cigar (blowing outward through it) can freshen it up and eliminate off flavors. I'm not convinced it does anything, but I do it anyways. |

If you swap to 65% bovedas it'll take a few weeks for them to come down btw. Maybe even a couple months. Just letting you know so you don't expect a big change after a couple days. |

I nub them, so about the width of my finger.
Unless it's not a good cigar. Then I pitch it if it doesn't improve by the last third. |

It depends. Sometimes they can get sulphury which I cant stand. Most of the time I nub them down. It depends on the cigar. I have some I am trying to run through that are fantastic out of the gate but I just get tired of smoking after a while as it is huge and the flavor is pretty static throughout.
I had a Partagas Presidente and I did not want it to end. I smoked it until I couldn't hold it any longer. |

If it is still enjoyable, until my fingers start to burn.

I get given a significant number of cigars, as I buy boxes of what I like. So for example, at the last Ashton event I went to, I bought another box of Symmatry's. I was given 8 cigars between the shop owner and the ashton rep. A few of those I would not consider my... flavor profile. One of them was bad enough it got pitched after the first 1/3rd... Today's Yamasa, had just enough left for me to pinch with my finger nails. I like me some yamasas... |

I burn it down until my lips are on fire. The last 3rd is the best. Most times I use my modus cigar tool so I can smoke it down farther than holding it with my fingers will let me. Jack (birddog) over on puff.com makes them. Great guy and great product.

I usually smoke one down enough to require removing the band, but I generally don't get too much further than that.

Down till you have to remove the band? Huh. Band is taken off before it’s cut and lit.
Really depends on the smoke. The best answer is when the flavor changes for the worse. If it never does, it’s down to burning my lips and fingers. I have been known to dip the cut end in my liquor to try and get one or two last draws without burning myself. |

If its a good cigar, down to the last inch.
If its a dog rocket, about half way, then herf it. If its really bad, the first inch, then into the trash it goes. |

For me it depends on taste. I've smoked some till I almost up to I can hardly hold them. Some, after a few draws then I've got rid of them.

Down to the last inch if its a good cigar.
That's also usually the point where it becomes uncomfortable for me to hold. |

For when you REALLY want to nub it down!
 
These are amazing devices. Almost a necessity when smoking CCs, but the ability to use as a nubber it is fantastic in its own right. No more burnt fingers! Your lips on the other hand...  The glue is awesome too. |

When it starts to taste bad, that's when it's time to stop. That varies by cigar. Regardless, if you're not enjoying it anymore, that's when it's time to stop.
