My buddy who BOMBED me mentioned that he likes to dip his smoke into Cognac while smoking it.....I told him I had never heard of this, he said that hardcore smokers would probably look down on this, but he said he will smoke how he wants.

Opinions?

I can see doing it for the flavor alone, but I couldn't see doing it myself or making a habit of it.

:-) It's a waste of both. Drink the drink, smoke the smoke and never the twain shall meet.

I've never done it, but I could be talked in to trying it. I'd never tell anyone what to smoke or how to smoke it and that includes dipping the end in a drink.

Now egg whites. I'd definitely tell them not to dip in egg whites.

Never done it but I have seen my old man do it. Mind you he was quite intoxicated when he did it.

While enjoy a drink and a cigar I think they are best left apart. A good cigar has so many different flavors I could only imagine it ruining it.

Meh.

Tried it. Result is a soggy cigar that leeches a tar and cognac solution into your mouth. Not for me. :-)

But some people love it. :-)

If he likes it, he likes it. More power to him. It's something I'm not gonna do though.

Give the egg whites a chance, may be eggsactly what you are looking for?

Really though the idea of a soggy cigar turns me off a bit.

My grandpa likes to do this sometimes. I've tried it with him and while it wasn't bad at all, it wasn't anything to write home about.
[Reply]

Well at least some of you have heard of this.....I don't think I could do it with a $10-$15 stick or anything, but might try it with a $1.50 stick.

Doesn't sound appetizing to me. But to each his own.

When I was in Qatar one of the cigar bars there did this. The girl would cut your cigar and then dip it in Cognac/brandy and light it for you. I tried it the first time because I didnt know they did it. After that I learned how to tell her I would cut it myself. I am not a fan of overly wet cigars to begin with so it was not in my wheel house. Some of the guys preferred it though.
[Reply]

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a good idea. I wouldn't try it.
[Reply]

I tried when I first started smoking cigars. All it did was mess up the drink with tobacco flakes and I really couldn't get the Cognac flavor with the smoke (maybe my inexperience) for me it turned into a mess and I wouldn't recommend it but if your friend likes it then good for him. I'm not his judge nor am I a snob. My advice is try it and see if you enjoy it. :-)

have seen it done, but it's not for me
[Reply]

I used to do this back when I was drinking heavily before I really enjoyed cigars. To me, it was a way to cover up the taste of the cigar.

I haven't tried it since I really began enjoying cigars, nor am I tempted to.

Don't think a cigar would be good dipped in Dr Pepper
