Burn length guide

[mattroth54]

I recently stumbled across a guide that gave estimates on the burn legnth for various cigars. Does anyone have a link to such a chart handy?

That would be a very interesting guide. In my experience Fuente products have by far the longest ashes, I wonder why that is.

Perhaps I was not clear, I was looking for a guide to estimate how many minutes a specific cigar can be expected to last.

Matt-

I do not have a link, but I have a book that answers your question as follows:

Presidente- 1 to 1.5 hours
Double Corona- 45 min to 1 hr
Churchill- 45 min to 1 hr
Panatela- 35 to 45 min
Lonsdale- 45 to 50 min
Corona Grande- 45 minutes
Corona- 30 to 45 minutes
Petite Corona- 25 minutes
Robusto- 25 to 40 minutes
Pyramide- 45 min to 1 hr

Of course, these are not set in stone.

Hope that helps,
DJ

Nice list Drummer John, however you have to take a lot of other factors into the equation...

Does the smoker "Hot Box"?

Is there a heavy draft in the room or is the smoker outdoors?

stuff like that makes a big difference, when Double D and I get together he always seems to finish his cigars before I do even when we are smoking the same brand and size. He takes bigger puffs and takes them more often as I do.

BTW welcome to Cigar Pass Matt :thumbs:

Be sure to fill out your profile and stop in here and introduce yourself.

I agree Wurm... The author mentions that the times are assuming normal smoking (1 puff per minute) and indoor smoking.

I have seen a bit of variation on these times with different brands and construction. Better constructed cigars tend to be a little tighter (not in draw, but in construction) and burn longer... Maybe because they are burning more efficiently or with less oxygen? ???

Not sure about these, a Rothchild (4.5" robusto) takes me 60-70 minutes min)... Coronas are usually about 60 minutes for me.

 

[Wurm]

I've also noticed cigars with thicker wrappers seem to burn longer for some reason. And DJ I'd say with less oxygen... we all know how hot loosely rolled stogies get if you puff too often on them.

And Jabba I have to agree... robustos always seems to last me about an hour (all except the Cuesta Rey ones, man those suckers are short lol)

I think the list should be seen as a guide. The factors that you guys bring up may change the burn rate within a standard deviation. As mentioned before, this is a nice reference list.

Havng said that. I have buddies who smoke a cigar in less than 30 mins regardless of the size Me, I take my time and savor and get into the relax mode, therefore, I am on the slower burn rate regardless of size.

D'oh. I thought I read ash length, sorry.

LOL I'd like to see them finish an Anjeo 49 or a OPUS X 'A' in 30 mins...

Wurm,

I agree, talk about a major buzz.

I find that if I take one puff per minute, the cigar gets too cool and each puff has too little smoke. I find myself puffing a bit more than that and it keeps the cigar nicely lit with ample smoke but not a harsh taste.

 

[Ivanovich]

Oh, man. This is a strange scale to me. I spent just short of 2 hours on an H.Upmann Monarch Tubo yesterday while playing CivIII. Didn't even need a relight. Should have opened the window earlier on though, got a wicked buzz afterward.

I don't think that the older burn guides take into account today's fatter cigars. There are plenty of 7x54 smokes the push 2 hours.
