Relighting a cigar is generally seen as a no-no.
Here is the trick.
A light wrapper will progressively get "darker" in taste so allowing one ot go out and then relighting it will be harsh.
A dark wrapper will more or less remain the same no matter how many times it goes out. It'll only go harsh at the very end.
Cigars are very much like wine. Do you always drink the same wine? Sample as many different brands and types as you like. And then smoke what you like.
Unlike a cigarette, a cigar is not a stress reliever. It is something to be enjoyed in and of itself. So there is no rush. Smoking too quickly will overheat the tobacco and cause a harsh taste and may cause the cigar to fall apart.
Overwhelmingly common knowledge says do not stub out the cigar as you would a cigarette. Allow the cigar to go out. If there is a significant amount left, wait until it is out and cool and then cut the ash and burned tobacco off. You can enjoy the entire smoke if done right.
Leave the ash intact. Knocking it off will heat the tobacco and make it taste more harsh.
Just like wine, clean your palate in between tastes.
