Good article. While I was reading it I couldn't help but think of a total of 8 people that I know that do the very things that the article was talking about. Awesome read. 🌫

Guilty of # 3, but have been trying to minimize it.

They missed one...and one of my pet peeves- Never lick the entire outside of the cigar before lighting it. It does not need a bath. If it is properly stored and cared for it does not need it.

My FIL - (love him to death but his habits can drive you crazy) insists upon giving any cigar he is about to smoke a tongue bath. Not only is it nasty - but it is only appropriate for dried out dog rockets you have left in your glovebox for a year. For that reason alone, he only gets quasi-rockets from me when we go golfing together. No need to waste a fine smoke if he is going to drown it.

There's one guy I smoke with rarely and he always dunks the cigar in liquor. I figure that the head of the cigar is moist enough.

When I'm done with a cigar the head will be damp. I watch friends slobber and chew on their cigars and then set them down with 2 1/2" left because they got bitter.

I started this after I noticed how much better the cigar would taste if I clipped some off the head again. The only difference being that the tobacco up further in the cigar wasn't soaked by spit. Been smoking better ever since I started keeping the head dry. To each his own though.

What the hell is the point of this????As cobra said when I first got into cigars I'd get them lil wet .At that point draw and taste go downhill so I am a bit more gentle and problem solved.I can't for the life of me understand doing this on purpose??????

It's usually the old-timers who dunk cigars or give them a BJ before lighting up. Seems to be a practice from old days when machine made cigars, Roi Tan, El Producto, Dutch Masters etc. were sold out on a shelf, not in a humidor, and tended to dry out.

I think we have the same FIL. Couple months back I caught him with a JL #4 out of my cabinet. I normally wouldn't care, but he bites the end off, licks it and can't tell the difference between a white owl and a montecristo! Then to top it off he leaves a a good 2.5 in the ashtray. So, I locked up all the good stuff in my cabinet and leave a 150 ct. humidor with plenty of medium range easy to get cigars.lol
