Finish a cigar nub in the pipe?

That seems odd since I can smoke them down to less than an inch without a pipe and they stay lit.

Well maybe you can come show me how to smoke one of these days. I'm not an avid cigar smoker.

I'm always up to enjoy a good cigar but I have to agree with some of the earlier posts... it's a cigar, i'd just smoke the cigar and let that be it. Of course if you want to smoke it in a pipe stick it in there and try it out but as was said earlier, near the end of the cigar all that smoke and the things that come with it have been collecting there and it definately effects the taste to me but there's only one way for you to find out.

As for the churchill thing... he was the man; no wonder that gardener wated to do that.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like such an ass there. My apologies.


I'm certain that if anybody could show anybody how to smoke, it would be you showing me how to smoke a pipe. I'm still a noob to cigars, though much more so with pipes.

No doubt, I need to try it for myself. Perhaps tomorrow. I kind of wanted to make sure nobody would say that it would ruin the pipe, but since it's just a corn cob job that cost me less than $6.00, I guess it's doesn't really matter.

Thanks again ya'll, for all the input!

I've smoked 'gars for about 7 months.... pipes for a few years. I really do have the problem I mentioned but mine are moist from the humidor @65%.......... think I'm doing that right. Anyway Michael, no problem. I snapped a little too 'cause I just thought maybe you were one of the know-it-all-cigar crowd. We see a few of those here.

That's not sounding quite right, but all due respect.

Thanks. And FWIW, it sounded fine to me. I think I get your drift.

Nozero, tell us how it worked out for you. I still shudder at the thought but if you do try that and "take one for the team", I shall give you what little Rg I have to offer for outstanding bravery in the field of pipe and cigar "communication".

Nobody said you have to leave the nub whole either - break it up, let it dry and have at it...

myself, I have lots of nice fresh tobacco to smoke.
