Interesting Termy, because the brand I smoke (DuMaurier, a Canadian brand) will go out if I leave it in the ashtray. They don't continue to burn any longer than if I have it in my hand.

That's what I'm saying about mine too, zeph. Sometimes they go out and sometimes they don't. Doesn't matter if it is in my hand or the ashtray. One thing I have noticed though is that frequently when I need to relight it, it will torch for a few seconds with flames and I might have to blow it out.

Regardless of that, that is how they are sold now, so there ain't much to be done about it other than roll your own.

That's not what happens with me,  they do go out every time regardless of whether or not I'm holding them. They have never torched when relit that's a bit frightening!

I actually don't mind, it's nice to know that it will go out, fewer fires from someone falling asleep with a lit ciggie in hand.

They won't always burn all the way down if you leave them in the ashtray. I know for me, sometimes they will and other times they won't. I can't seem to find a rhyme or reason for it. What I find odd is that for some brands it has really changed the "taste" of the cigarette. I used to smoke Pall Malls (mainly they went on sale more often) and Salem light 100's. Both of them tasted really icky with a horrible aftertaste after adding the FSC stuff. I still pick mostly what is on sale, but never those.
