Should I relight my cigar if it goes out?

Cigars have natural oils in them, which is why you heat a cigar before you actually light it. As long as these oils are fluid or soft, you can re-light the cigar.

This would generally be fifteen or twenty minutes after the cigar fire goes out. Once these oils have crystallized or solidified, the cigar will no longer give you the same taste and smoothness. It will become bitter and pungent.
