the only ash preferance that i have is that it doesnt fall on me. otherwise joe was spot on with his post.

BigDan.

im not sure what the chemical was it could have been that so im not sure. and if the cigar is rolled wrong how bad of a problem is it?

kuzi16

the ash will fall early and often. it wont hold together at all.

I kind of thought that the color of the ash, as others have stated is more to do with the type of tobacco used, but I also thought that it had to do with how hot the cigar was burning.

I recently read that cubans (obviously very highly regarded in the cigar world) typically give off a dark grey ash due to the magnesium (I believe it's magnesium, either that or nitrogen) content in the soil. Potassium is the chemical that would cause the ash to burn more of a white color.

But the hold of the ash can. Although there are a few good cigars that dont hold there ash I think they are few and far between.

Exactly!

Fixed those for both of you. Maddy, irregardless is not acceptable.

dictionary.com:

Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

"Irregardless" isn't a word. Well, it could be a word, but it would mean the opposite of what everyone who uses it intends it to mean. It's a double-negative. "Regardless" means "without regard to." "Irregardless" would mean "not without regard to."
