Chewing Cigars

[Coz77]

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

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.

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

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

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

pish posh...shall I also not...

• 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.

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

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.

Hold a cigar between your index and middle finger

in the uk that is ok to do lol

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

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.

i mate take u up on that offer mate i dont have a problem with smoking it with a ear aslong as the ear isnt chewing it lol

Yeccchhhh!

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.

[jledou]

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....
