Anecdotally: my mother frequently smokes regular cigarettes, she'll light one for a few 'puffs' then put it out.

To combat this, tobacco companies put some sugar on the filter tip and I believe better tobacco in the very tip of the cigarette, this way the first hit is better than all of the others.

If you smoke anything in parts, it's well worth it to learn to purge. It's a cigar trick, you basically slowly blow through the cigar for a few seconds and it improves the taste and slows the burn for a while.

It might just be the placebo effect that makes it taste better after, but who cares?
