Breakthrough!!!

Yesterday, i discovered that i could smoke the "unsmokable" portion of a cigar (the last little bit when it starts to get too hot) in my pipe. This made the cigar last twice as long and was quite enjoyable. Also, the piece of the cigar in the pipe had a much stronger nicotine content than the cigar did. I believe this has to do with the cigar piece acting as a filter for the rest of the cigar and trapping nicotine, or possibly just the efficiency of the pipe's burning. Also, the moisture that collects in the last bit of the cigar makes it have a controlled burn.
I will continue to do this. I feel bad for all the cigar butts I have wasted in the past. I plan to weigh cigars soon to see if any exceed around 20 grams for a decent price. If so, i might start buying cigars just to tear them apart and smoke them in my pipe.

What kind of cigar? Not gunna lie sounds kinda weird but interesting at the same time. Did you break it up or just drop the butt in there?

Cigar holders in the form of pipes have been around since the Victorian Era. Although Queen Victoria was opposed to tobacco, cigars were becoming the rage in Europe and America. Since meerschaum pipe smoking was already a popular past time, cigar smokers decided they also needed to have objects of distinction in the form of ornately carved cigar holders. Mainly designed specifically for the ‘cheroot’ shape of cigars, they fell out of fashion soon after World War I.

Hmm...I'm at a loss for words. I think jonesing summed it up.

I should have used a disclaimer: Don’t do what the guy in the video did!! I was just trying to point out the existence of cigar holders. Remember that at this time in history, it was a period of decadence for many so these over the top ornate holders were designed to rival the amazing works of art being turned out by meerschaum pipe makers.
Cigars (decent ones, not cheap machine made crap) are designed to hit what is called the sweet spot about 1/3 or so of the way into it. But cutting up a cigar, or cutting down a size to smoke it later, you have ruined the cigar. If you have already smoked the entire cigar then go ahead and finish it off (DO NOT BREAK IT UP OR UNWRAP IT) in your pipe. It looks cooler than a roach clip.

When you cut of the ends save them up and make your own pipe/cigar blend .Now we know where the term Vienna sausage comes from .
