Are you a "chomper" ?,or a "drooler" ?,or "gentle" ?

[Puro_Angler]

Once the first ash falls off, I chomp the hell out of it. My nubs usually end up looking like total crap.

I'm very gentle if just sitting, relaxing and enjoying a cigar, however if smoking while doing yard work or playing golf I tend to be a drooler.

You are kidding right?

Well, I'm a double whammy. I'm a chomper and a drooler.

Hail to the King, baby!

I tend to smoke while just relaxing or reading, and I am "gentle" then. There are times when doing other things while smoking that I end up being a "drooler".

I like to keep 'em looking nice at both ends, but two days ago had to make an exception.
I lit up a Fuente Reserve Maduro, and the draw was really hard. This hardly ever happens with Fuentes in my experience. Anyway I rolled it around a bit with my fingers trying to figure out where the blockage was, finally realized it was right at the nub, where I had cut a clean V. On an impulse, I held the stogie so that the V was vertical, (not the way I had been smoking it) and chomped down a few times as I smoked. Miracle of miracles - all of a sudden the draw was perfect, and stayed so right to the end.
The downside was that I did not really like the end being messy and soggy.

Best, Larry.

Gentle of course.

Gentle

[pepito]

I'm "gentler than gentle" you can put me in a different category ~ I'm a kisser (the kind you do to your mom and not your girlfriend). I just place the cigar on my lip, especially true with the large vitolas, and breathe.

[Mister Moo]

There are undeclared droolers and liars here and I know it. I honor those who fessed up. Good work Andy; I'm sending you a big fat cigar with an all natural sponge "training" tip. To heck with dry-mouthed fussbudgets. High humidity and rain notwithstanding, I soaked down an ERDM Oscuro robusto this afternoon to something near oatmeal. It was disgusting but at least I own up to it.

[caskwith]

i find that if its gonna get really chewed then i might aswell do it right and really dog it up, however i have encountered the problem that if im with anybody im too embarassed to take it out. so if its going in, its staying in!


Mr M'oo: i couldnt think of a better way to make oatmeal in the morning

[WooferBearATL]

Always have been a chomper.

[SHOE]

Sitting enjoying a drink and a nice cigar = gentle

Doing yard work, etc with a cheaper brand = chomper/drooler
(I couldn't tell you how many times I have wet the top of my shoe when pulling a weed or something)

[12stones]

I'm a gentle...I really try not to be a drooler.

[sspolv]

Gentle all the way. Most of my cigar butts end up looking like I just cut them (unless one of my friends decides to do a "puff puff put back on the ashtray" while I go get a drink)
