cigar chewing???

i saw a guy at the gun show the other day chewing a cigar inside not lit or anything and was wondering why do some people chew there cigars is this just a preference or something different i am still fairly new to cigars.

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

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

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

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

Yes, but was it any good?

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
