Only in the movies.

A guy I used to buy cattle from did this. He always had a Padron in his mouth but never set fire to it. He went through 4-5 a day, only now do I realize how big of a waste that was.

Uh...ya :-)

That's like wiping your a$$ with 20's.

When I was a kid one of my friend's dads did this. I have no idea what kind of cigars he was chewing on, but he never lit them up. I think he started doing this when he gave up smoking.

After I quit smoking cigs I was at a casino playing craps so I got a cigar and was chewing on it gambling, after a couple times there (same routine each time) I decided to fire it up, Para BL ... and here I am sliding down this slope like I'm on rocket skis

You have "help". :-)

I think it's a waste, but one of the guys i work with has been doing this for years.
[Reply]

Oh don't think I won't pay you back for the "help" :-)

F that noise. Smoke the cigar

There's a guy that comes into the shop I work at about once a month, buys a box of Fuente Flor-a-Fina 8-5-8 Maduros. Chews on the end, cuts it off, and keeps chewing till the cigars gone.

Wow, I didn't know this was even remotely common practice, seems like a huge waste to me. My Dad gnaws on the flavored plastic tips of Black n Milds, but that I don't really consider that a waste, a Padron or Fuente though, why?

I guess if someone enjoys chewing them enough to buy them, then more power to them. Chew what you like, like what you chew.

I don't chew on them, but occassionallly shove them up my nose for effect. :-)
[Reply]

Ditto! My best friend's dad did this for years. And he NEVER spit out the juice. Just swallowed it and moved on!!!! My father (Claude's best friend) finally convinced him to switch to chewing tobacco. Claude then chewed a rope brand (I want to say King B??), but as before, always swallowed the juice. I swallowed Red Man juice once on accident..... Yeah, that went poorly!!!

I think Claude chewed King Edward cigars.

My father chews on the head while smoking the cigar. He likes big fat cigars like the Gloria Cubana Series R Maduro. I think it adds a strong nicotine buzz like chew tobacco along with the smoke.

If I'm going to stick a cigar in my mouth, I'm going to smoke it.

The only possible exception would be one that had been Lewinskied, but even then it would depend on the cigar.

An older co-worker of mine does this. He's an old farmer so it doesn't suprise me. I only chew on the nubs after I'm done with them.

I used to chew on my cigars something awful while I was smoking them. So bad that they'd get all slobbered up and go out at the halfway mark. Then I'd just keep chewing on them, especially when I was working.
It's taken a lot of effort to quit being such a hog, and I only did it so I could let other guys try my cigar. I can't say I'm happier for the change, I really liked it. Maybe I'll revert someday.
FYI, good cigars taste just as good chewing on them as they smoke. And they last all day if you can stand it. It's not remotely a waste of money, it's actually a far better value if I can smoke it for an hour then chew on it for another 5 or 6.

This is what I'd do ... and end up cutting the slobbered up part and go back to chomping on them, they are very flavorful and last all day, the thing is you end up getting a sore throat from them (well I did because I just started doing it) the next day it would feel like a pit in my throat because of it .. so I said **** it and just started smoking them.....cause im smOrT!
