Chewing Cigars
 

I was on "another forum" recently and a member stated that "you would enjoy the smoke more if you didn't chew on it and try now to get it to wet."

Ive never experienced this personally. Sometime I chew, sometimes I don't it all depends on what Im doing. Normally I chew when Im golfing, fishing, mowing the lawn or doing other activities because the cigar tends to stay in my mouth longer :hm

I just wanted to know what other inmates thought. How could something like this effect taste...I might be able to see how it could effect the burn yet this has never happened I'm my experience.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I caught myself chewing a few times, but I would agree that it probably doesn't help the flavor of the smoke.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I don't know that if would effect the taste or not, but I say do what whatever you want. If your are golfing, mowing, etc. your probably not smoking your best stuff and, or focusing so much on on the flavors like you would be if you were sitting to relax and smoke. If you like to chew chew away.

Personally I have a hard time smoking and doing anything else at the same time. My mouth gets to wet with the cigar in it all the time and I start drooling like a St. Bernard

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

Even the sight of someone chewing a cigar makes me gag. I could never chew a cigar.

pish posh...shall I also not...:fu

• Use a penknife to cut or a lance to pierce the end of the cigar.
• Touch the flame directly to the foot of the cigar: Instead, simply rotate it around the edge till it starts to burn, then puff lightly.
• Ask someone else for a light (the lighting of a cigar should be a personal affair).
• Light your cigar too quickly or too slowly.
• Indulge in exhibitionism in lighting or any other aspect of smoking.
• Relight your cigar if less than one quarter of it is leaf.
• Put the cigar in your mouth to relight it. Just scrape off the ash and turn it in the flame for several seconds till it relights.
• Clench it between your teeth. Likewise do not get the end of the cigar wet, chew it, or slobber on it.
• Smoke too quickly.
• Use a cigar holder, or worse, stick a toothpick or matchstick in the end of the cigar to help hold it in your mouth.
• Dunk your cigar in port or brandy, a habit attributed to Winston Churchill.
• Smoke while working.
• Hold a cigar between your index and middle finger.
• Smoke when you're walking.
• Smoke more than half the cigar.

:bs It's a Cigar.... F'ing sit back, smoke and enjoy. I don't care how you do it

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I feel the same way. I have a friend who always chews on the sticks I give him so for the last few times I have seen him, he has gotten himself a nice Gurkha.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

Hold a cigar between your index and middle finger

in the uk that is ok to do lol

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

Shoot I know guys who only chew cigars....they don't even smoke em....whatever floats your boat...

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

It doesn't bother me how anyone else smokes a cigar (wet or dry), drinks their scotch (ice or not), or eats thier steak (sauce or not). Why in the world would I care what someone else puts in thier mouth, let alone how they put it in their mouth.

I myself try not to drool on my chin while smoking, but it's just personal preference. I know guys who like to soak the end in cognac or snub it out and relight it a week later. Meh... To each their own device.

If someone is kind enough to take the time and sit down to enjoy a stoogie with me, they could smoke it through their ear for all I care.

:r :fu :wo

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

Yeccchhhh!

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

No chewing for me. I personally think the cigar smokes worse when wet, plus I just don't like it. But that's just me, to each his own.

My grandfather would smoke them down to nubs using a toothpick, then chew the nub like he was dipping. Sounds nasty to me, but he liked it. He truly emjoyed his entire cigar, lol.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

For me I think it depends on the cigar and what I am doing. Sometimes I look down when I am finished with a cigar and the end is all soggy and flat, other times it is as dry as a bone.

As to whether it would affect the taste? I would give it a good possibility that it would to a certain extent. My thought being that the taste is different in your mouth when it is dry and when your mouth is wet say after taking a drink.

I guess Clinton really screwed up his cigar smoking experience then.

Tho whatever floats your boat... if you like to inhale them, whatever....

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

OMG!!! I just peed a little!!!:r

Re: Chewing Cigars

to each his own

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I'm not a chewer of cigars, but don't have a problem with it.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I don't chew on my cigars, but I will give them a little bite if I feel like the draw is being obstructed towards the head to try to loosen up the tobacco up there...

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I really don't consider myself a chewer but if I'm up and about I do use my teeth to hold the cigar. In these cases the nub appears to have been chewed.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

Alright..a bit off topic..but how the hell do you guys hold your cigars?! Every once in a while I read something that bring me right back to feeling like I have no idea what I am doing with cigars and this is one of those days...I always hold it between my index and middle finger. Add to that the fact that my off the boat Irish Grandmom would rap me with a shoe for doing anything the "British Way."

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

Chewing on cigars while smoking them tends to bring more nicotine into your system because it almost becomes chewing tobacco and you ingest more of the nicotine than you would if you were smoking,,,unless you inhale. I have chewed on the end of some cigars because I was doing yard work and didn't have time to puff on it and then take it out of my mouth,,,so I keep it in my mouth and tend to chew it.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

If chewing a cigar helps you enjoy it, I say go for it, but I never chew on my cigars.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I have the same problem. I've tried to smoke while doing yard work but the cigar just gets to damn wet, won't ever try doing it again just not enjoyable.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I try not to chew or slobber on my cigars....just my preference. Do as you wish, but please make sure it's not during a PPP. :r

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

It seems to me that if I chew on the cigar excessively (get it too wet) it begins to taste bitter.

Not saying folks should or should not... its just my experience. :ss

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

:tpd::ss Chew dont chew inhale dont inhale

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

Really, I only chew a cigar if I have changed a baby's diaper! Helps to eliminate what I think of how someone is thinking of how I should smoke the cigar and in the manner I enjoy. An A$$ maybe but, who cares how I enjoy anything I do in life as long as I "Enjoy" it!

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

Never have and dont intend to

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I dont chew either...during golf I do sometimes bite down on it pretty hard to keep it in my mouth. That didnt sound right did it? :tu

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

It's ok James everyone knows your a biter. I don't chew on my cigars but I don't do yardwork with them either. If I don't have time to just sit and enjoy the cigar I just won't smoke one. I don't see nothing wrong with people that do bite on theirs I just do it.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

If you chew and slobber on your cigar...it will get bitter on you. Wet smoking a cigar makes the last half of the cigar unbearable for me.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

All this chewing/unchewed talk about taste being effected has got me baffled. When I have the time I will document a side by side review of the same cigar chewed and unchewed. For those of you grossed out by chewed cigars you might not want to subscribe to this thread, my review will be photo friendly :D.

Re: Chewing Cigars
 

I have the :dr problem as well, so most often I don't keep the cigar in my mouth long enough to chew. For that matter, I don't really have any desire to chew a cigar... If I want to chew, I'll pick up some Day's Work or Levi.
