Slopping a Cigar

Vidarien

I was wondering what anyone else has to say about this issue-

 

Let me explain:

 

Time and again i often end up losing a cigar a half inch or so above the bandspot through burnout.  Ive come to realize this is happening likely due to the saliva i get on and into the cigar from the draw point.  I have no idea if i just plan salivate more than the average joe or what, but, i seem to soak up the filler quite a ways up the cigar and the moisture stomps it out.  I've tried to get myself to stop this habit by paying more caution to how i draw and not keeping it in my mouth for long, but it keeps on happening.  Its not an extreme problem i guess since i wouldve likely only smoked another half to 1 inch, but, it is annoying.

 

Anyone have a similar problem?

i never keep my cigar in my mouth for longer than it takes to puff on it. a slobered on cigar is not high class in my mind. Plus, like you said, you lose about an inch of cigar from this.

Slobing on a cigar causes nicotine and tar to build up and will restrict smoke so if your to take a clothes hanger and punch a hole thru the cigar you'll get cleaner and more smoke, I have the slobbing problem when I'm drinking and smoking..

it really does affect the way the cigar works. try chewing on a straw till the top is shredded then try and drink using it. its not the same.
