Nomad Cigar Smokers... technique
I found myself smoking yet another fine cigar tonight and realized that I have developed a habit when I finish smoking my cigar.
A fine cigar is made up of three types of tobacco leaves, (1) a Filler, (2) a Binder, and (3) a Wrapper. The combination of these three contribute to
the particular flavor and burn of a fine cigar.
So, here's my habit... when I get down to the small stogie at the end of the smoke, I break the stubbie down and separate the three types of tobacco.
Being the "smeller of things" that I am... I then light each one to smell the different aromas of each component. Quite an interesting result each
time. Then I let it all smolder in the ash tray like incense.
How many other Nomads do this? Or, am I just weird?

Bob, I've enjoyed many a good cigar, but that is a new one for me.

Reminds me of an Andre Credesque letter to the editor in Atlantic Monthly a few years ago. Reviewing an article from a prior issue that was
essentially a rehash, or update of My Dinner With Andre, lots of descriptions of food, table settings etc, lean on philosophy and exquisitly boring.
He said that it was about as interesting as the sex on the mustache of the guy sitting accross from him on the train going to London for his monday
morning commute.
Thought you might savor that story along with your cigar.

If everybody did that with the last bite of a McDonalds burger, they wouldn't be able to give them away.
Weird? Yes. Of course. Arn't we all?

bob, me and my buddy bo used to see how far down we could smoke them and use a tooth pick at the end to get the last bit of tobaco. who ever lasted
the longest without the fire going out had to buy the other guy a beer. but you still are weird.

don't worry Bob, you just need to seek counseling, that's all......probably a 12 step program out there for you someplace.............
smoke it, stub it out when done.....and fugetaboutit! that's all you need to do.
anything else is obsessive/compulsive behavior.....you must get professional help before it evolves into more serious manefestations

My only suggestion would be to break off a stub before you smoke it--that way the tobacco isn't saturated with tars--might be a better incense!

I laughed so hard at this one, couldn't help but share it with a friend who has an eating disorder. His response:
"I like to utliize a similar technique when I burn my trash - The various components can be EXQUISITE!!"

Maybe you can take the post-smelled ash and make a dandy tea.

Be careful... once you try it, you can't stop doing it!

It was a Padron 1964 Anniversery cigar (with Maduro wrapper)... a very special cigar indeed!
But, I do this with every cigar that I finish. My wife always blurts out "Don't burn the house down!"

As long as the windows are open, yes. She happens to like the aroma of a fine ceeegar, thank goodness for that.

QUALITY tobaccos if used in ceegars DON"T stink!!
many have a nut like fragrance, some approach that of good pipe burn.
but, GOOD cigars aren't cheap, even at wholesale. plus, they need to be fresh when consumed which affects burn and aroma.
so, those stinking up the house with crummy cheap stogs offend those who are then impressed for life.
many a time i have had a person be surprized and ask what is that cigar and that its aroma is very nice.
i just smile and say its a swisher.......they have no idea...
