Warm the foot of the cigar before you start puffing.Don't bite off the tip; use a cigar cutter. If you can splurge on a Rs 2,000 Cohiba, you can also afford a cutter starting at Rs 500.Remove the cigar brand once you light up. It's supposed to be rude to show off the brand you are smoking in some places.Once you have smoked your cigar half way, simply place it in the ashtray. You don't have to stub it out. It will go out by itself.
