I've seen it plenty of times. In fact, it's a real tell-tale sign of a newbie. He/she wants to knock the ash off of their cigar but it's not ready yet to fall yet. They then proceed to bang their cigar on the side of an ashtray or they scrape the ash off using the side....both funny as hell to watch but sad to see at the same time.
The ash of your cigar, if it's ready, should be able to be knocked off with a simple tap of your finger.
Sometimes, most of the time while trying to see just how long you can make it, the ash will fall off unexpectedly. This happens to the best of us. Believe it or not from this embarrassing experience you can see just how well made your cigar really was. The ash will fall from you cigar and land on the floor with what we like to call a "thud" sound. If you happened to be smoking a really well made cigar then even from the height it was dropped the ash should still somewhat retain it's shape....I've seen this happen with mainly Opus and Cohibas.
Just a quick tip and a few facts to the newbies out there. If this thread helps just one person then it's done it's job.
