Spitting's provisional sanction as an indoor sport was revoked some time in the early part of the last century. What ever you have to do, just don't do it.

When I smoke my mouth just waters so damn much. Hate swallowing it. I almost always smoke outside so I'm used to spitting when I got a mouth full of spit.

Im with many of the other guys. I often keep something hydrating with me whilst smoking. Water works. or i just drink alot of beer

i used to spit alot cause i always smoked outside. but when i started going to places to smoke i totally stopped that habit cause i didnt want to be nasty. and i always have something nice to drink

Perhaps you should switch to a milder cigar until your tase buds are ready for a more robust one. When I first started I used to spit but even outdoors I thought this was distasteful and made me look like slob so I "downgraded" for a while. I agree with other people who have posted suggestions regarding the use of a beverage to prevent this from happening. Most times I use Diet Coke.

No idea why you would need to spit while smoking a cigar. Definitely not appropriate in a public venue these days. Either smoke at home, try changing cigar types, or just quit.

I am the same way. I HAVE to spit while I smoke cigars. Ever since I started two years ago, and to this day I spit. Even when I have something to drink, I still do. I just salivate a lot while smoking a cigar. It definately isn't as bad when I first started smoking, but I'm sure it is still a lot compared to everyone else.

If you must spit indoors, then how about using a cloth handkerchief.

I spit when Im on the porch too but dont need to. Funny thing is I noticed the same cigar tastes different when I spit vs swallow. It tastes much stronger if I swallow. Try to start swallowing and you'll see that you'll start tasting some different flavors

Rev.

Don't want to sound snooty, but I have to agree with this. Lounges are not for spitting. You can get by with just stopping the habit.

What you need is a bottle of your favorite cola, drink it down to the bottom of the label, leave just enough cola in the bottle to come up to the bottom of the label. Then you discreetly spit into the bottle, and for the most part it will be hidden by the label, this way no one is put off by the spit in the bottle, and you can spit till your hart’s content. Just remember not to drink out of the bottle once you have started smoking. This will also work with a coffee cup from your favorite coffee shop, you don’t have to leave any coffee in it though, and however, some paper towel or a napkin in the bottom of the cup helps stabilize the process, and makes for less mess.

I like the cut of your jib! This is creative thinking!

I do it in private, but not in public. If I feel the need to spit with people around, I usually wash it down with a beverage.

Even as a woman, I can tell you that spitting is a habit all on it's own. For some odd reason, way back in college, I landscaped/cut lawns for a living, and began habitually spitting. I guess it started out here and there when I got a piece of cut grass or something flew in my mouth while working. Then somehow over time, it just became a habit while I worked. I didn't even smoke then, cigarettes, cigars, nothing. Afterwork, or even after I changed jobs, it became quite the habit to break. But with a little effort, I became a lady again. Thank goodness.

Good luck.
All the suggestions here are great, drinking water or something while smoking (remember alcholic bevs are dehydrating, try water), downgrade the strength of your cigars for a while, or even slowing down your draw frequency to keep the gar from getting hot. The hotter the drawn smoke the more it will dry out your mouth, causing more salivation.
