Smoking while driving
 

I know when you're just hanging around relaxing with a smoke, to correct an uneven burn you put the slow side down. But when you're driving on the freeway, window open, going 65 MPH, how do you correct that burn? I've tried searching for it but couldn't find anything.

Roll the window up a bit and turn on the ac?

Is this a trick question?

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Nope, I just rotate the cigar. And its 75 in my boxtruck!!:dance:

Re: Smoking while driving
 

hold the wheel with my wrist, cigar is in that hand, and torch it

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Touch it up with my Blazer.

Re: Smoking while driving
 

I open front windows about 2 inches and open back windows all the way. This eliminates the burn issues. If it's really hot, I keep front windows closed, open back windows 2 inches and turn on the air. I am a freaking genius.

PS Cigar Bobken is an essential piece to automobile cigar smoking.

Re: Smoking while driving
 

I just ordered one. I've got a road trip coming up and I'm planning on enjoying quite a few sticks on the way. Thanks for the tip :tu

Re: Smoking while driving
 

hmmmmmm

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Torch works best! That being said, with a soft flame I roll the window up and close the sunroof and turn the vents off... it works decently.

I really try not to correct it in the car going 80... but sometimes you just can't help it! :rolleyes:

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Steer with the knee and correct burn with torch.

Re: Smoking while driving
 

I love my bobken...

Re: Smoking while driving
 

This method is what keeps people in my profession in business. :D

Re: Smoking while driving
 

I have had so many calamities while smoking in the car. I was boxed in by two rigs once when i dropped a fat robusto right into my lap--and it promptly rolled under my leg. Try not to panic in that situation...

But then again, what the hell else am I going to do on a 4 hour drive? Uneven burns come with the territory of being busy with the road, so i don't even fret about them. It IS a b#tch and a half to purge though.

Scott is smart, he knows stuff.

I smoke and drive all the time between Cancun and Playa and I agree with the others, just torch it and work your way through it.

I can't have the AC on as its a company car and I don't want to stink the car up, running the AC impregnates the car with the smoke smell - hard to explain especially in the rental cars...

I am going to pick up a Bobken too!

Re: Smoking while driving
 

That you are, MCS!:tu

Re: Smoking while driving
 

:tpd: same here... :D

Re: Smoking while driving
 

autobody repair or EMT?

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Yessiree, job security.:)

Re: Smoking while driving
 

I put the cigar in my right hand away from the window and turn the slow burning side down, I try to just keep it out of the draft until it corrects.

Re: Smoking while driving
 

It may sound odd but I love the swirl of the smoke to linger around my face a bit. I roll the passenger window down about 4 inches and then just barely crack the driver's side. This keeps the smoke moving but it doesn't feel like I'm smoking into the wind either. If it's cold, I just turn on the seat warmers. Good stuff!:D

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Bobkens rock. :tu

Re: Smoking while driving
 

I roll with it.

Just like the blow-out I was fighting today.....



I have a Road Warrior for my rides.

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Just to say that the Bobkin really, really woks great!

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Lick it where it is burning faster, watch out for your tongue though. :D

Re: Smoking while driving
 

The formula for a perfect SUV smoke:

CC + triple flame lighter (sunroof + rear windows down - front windows down) = calm environment without excess smoke and nice even burn

FF/Paramedic.
Be safe however you choose to smoke and drive.
I'm just sayin' :tu

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Love my Bobken but anyone else have a problem with it melting?

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Did it melt "through" or melt the "styrrup"? Mine looks a bit rough, but has never melted.

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Lots of great advice here, thanks ! I smoke in my car on the long way back home a couple times a week and I will make good use of some of the tips I've read here. Merci ! :)

Re: Smoking while driving
 

I love smoking while driving especially if it is rush hour with lots of traffic. I think the fuente hemmingway short story's are made for smoking while driving , easy to start and not too heavy. I try to stay away from the heavy stuff while driving after I almost totaled my car smoking an ashton VSG. As far as fixing uneven burns I ussually drive with my feet until the burn has corrected itself.

Re: Smoking while driving
 

With your feet you say? I'll go ahead and get my turnout gear on now.:r:r

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Man, now I actually wish my drive to work was longer!

Re: Smoking while driving
 

As Super Tramp once said..."Take the long way home...":ss

Re: Smoking while driving
 

:tpd:

My looks a bit worn and beat up... but it still does the job... and for the $5 I think I gave for it, the thing has been awesome! :D

Definitely a must have for smoking a cigar in the car. :tu

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Thanks everyone... seems like i need to invest in a Bobken

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Mine did--at least, two of the little ridges on the holder thing are both melted. I think it was caused by a PC or a smaller RG cigar that wasn't hanging over the hole. Doesn't look very pretty, but I think it roughed up the ridges a bit so that it works better now!

Re: Smoking while driving
 

Yea that's how mine melted too. Also if you plan on leaving a lit cigar in it while you run into a store quick check to make sure the cigars still in it after you shut the door. I'd rather not discuss how I learned this;) Let's just say It looks like I farted so hard It burnt a spot in the seat.
