There are some types of cigars, especially premium ones, that offer you different flavours in a single piece. However, you are never advised to continue smoking a cigar if it starts tasting bad. As long as the flavour and aroma of your cigar is in accordance with your taste preferences, you can enjoy smoking it. But if you feel that the taste has become either too intense or too bitter, you must stop smoking it at once. In short, stop smoking as soon as the experience starts feeling like suffering instead of pure joy. Another indication to put down your cigar is when it reaches the brand name of the cigar. Or when the size becomes too small for you to hold it properly. But if you wish to enjoy every inch of your cigar, you can use a cigar holder to continue smoking.
