cigar chewing??? - Page 2

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

hotreds · 01-22-2011, 09:24 AM

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

Sounds classic!

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.
