Everyone gets 2

the smoker ashes the cigar
,
they will be disqualified.

it as you see fit.
The goal is to see who can keep their cigar lit/smoking the longest.

marks
the smoker is disqualified

keep
the cigar
lit under the cigar band with zero burn marks (This has and can happen)
then
the judges will closely watch the smoker

st sign of any burns on the cigar band
means that the
smoker will be disqualified.
