My grandfather chomps a good stogie for days afterward while he's working in the yard. So yes it is done. I can't say that I recommend it though. Even the thought makes me nauseous. Of course, if you chew dip it probably isn't a whole lot different.

I once saw a racoon chew his entire arm off to get out of a trap.

When I was a young pup, we use to trap muskrat. $7 a pelt.... Had to be careful where you placed the trap or you'd come back to just a muskrat arm....

For the record, muskrat arm was work $.00

Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug at a Muskrat Land
And they shimmy, Sam is so skinny


And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jangle
Float like the heavens above
Looks like Muskrat Love

Our former President in the Philippines Fidel Ramos used to smoke cigars. After he stopped smoking, up to now he always has a cigar and sniffs and chomps on it all day...

Yes, but was it any good?

I have a great uncle who has chewed cigars for as long as I can remember. Tampa Nuggets I think, have never saw him light one.

Re: cigar chewing???
 

Maybe so but I've heard they are tasty. LOL

I know a guy who eats Macanudo golds...no joke..it is disgusting.

Thanks, that's an image I won't get out of my head anytime soon. :sl

There was a guy that worked with my dad that would smoke down to about 2 inch's, cut off the charred part and then chew the rest like a big wad of Red Man.

As I recall by having the stomach of a 18-19 year old they were very doable. Of course had I been smoking instead of chewing that would have been tantamount to sending out an engraved invitation, i.e. here I come. :D

Re: cigar chewing???
 

I would think it would be cheaper to just buy a can of snuff than to chomp on my good sticks.

I had a boss that chewed big cigars, 8 1/2 by 54...Special Jamaicans. He literally ate the whole thing, occassionally spitting out little pieces of tobacco. It was not a pleasant sight, but he really enjoyed it.

Re: cigar chewing???
 

Wait what is the disgusting part? That they are Macanudos or that he is eating them?

:hm

Re: cigar chewing???
 

I hear about this fairly regularly one of my customers buys mild bundles to chew the other one buys high end LFD's only to chew never to smoke.

I once saw a guy eat a whole pack of Marlboro Reds when I was a teen. He didn't feel too good afterward. Then again, we were pretty drunk, so maybe it was the booze that made him sick.

Quite often on the golf course, if I finish up a smoke too late in the round to light up another, I'll chomp on the nub for the last couple of holes.

Now you're talking about potentially real deletirious effects on your health. Remember that smoking a cigar without inhaling or chewing thereupon is actually fairly safe, but the bad news happens if you chew/hold it in your mouth- and - natch- inhale. So, if you want to try and keep as safe as possible while smoking cigars, not inhaling, and only having the cigar in your mouth briefly while you draw on it is the way to go.

Having said that, I worked with a guy in the early 1980s that ALWAYS had a cigar in his mouth, usually unlit, and usually disgustingly sloppy wet. And, I remembnr a fellow that used to roll up tobacco leaves and chew them- right off the stalk.

Growing up, my best friend's dad always chewed cigars. He would go thru 3-4 a day, minimum. and NEVER spit! After many years of this, my father got him started on chew. Claude would buy boxes of King B (I think that was the name) rope chewing tobacco by the case, and go thru that stuff like candy! and yes, he never spit the juices from that either!

One of the guys I herf with at the Shilo chews his cigars while he smokes them. I think this is one of the reasons that he goes for really large ring gauges. Usually he is only able to smoke them half way before he has to toss them.

Re: cigar chewing???
 

I chew on a cigar on the train or during class on occasion

Re: cigar chewing???
 

I chew on them when I'm smoking them. It's hard not to, but sometimes I don't.

Re: cigar chewing???
 

I will catch myself chewing on a good cigar near the end or on a petite corona or something smaller - usually when unlit. My father would chew on his cigars too but like me (or me like him haha) unlit and while working in the garage or yard.

Re: cigar chewing???
 

There's the kicker, right there. It's why I've tried to stop chewing and slobbering my cigars. If the cigar is really good, it's a bummer when it goes out when I've only smoked half or two thirds of it.
Another reason is that no one in their right mind wants to share with me, and that's a bummer when I want someone to try the cigar I'm smoking.

Re: cigar chewing???
 

When I think of cigar chewing, it's physical and mental tobacco addiction than a hobby or passion.

Re: cigar chewing???
 

i've only seen this on one occasion and it was in a classic movie "bruce lee fights back from the grave". a curious man in a trench coat had always tossed away his expended cigars with a large indent in the head from chomping on it - me being the curious neeb i am thought i'd like to try it, but i'm too afraid of damaging the cigar and it falling apart on me

Re: cigar chewing???
 

The other point is that to me, "chewing" is what you do to gum, I can't imagine a cigar surviving my chewing it!

Re: cigar chewing???
 

Sounds classic! :D

Re: cigar chewing???
 

Every once in a while I'd run into an old-timer that chewed his
cigar, usually after it went out, rather than relight it.

Now I am an old-timer, and I make sure they don't go out.

Sometimes I'll clamp down on a yard 'gar, when I have to use
two hands. After several clamps, it might appear to be chewed.
But good cigars never get a chance to go out.

Chemyst :cool2:
