Smoking Cigar Butts

When a visual person, such as myself, reads a thread title like this one, it conjures up a very unfortunate image.

I’ve read in Manchester’s “The Last Lion” that Winston Churchill had a manservant who daily gathered Winston’s cigar butts and smoked them in his pipe.

more often than not, by the time the cigar has smoked down to that level after two hours of drawing through it, the tars have collected in that end and tastes nothing like the majority of the stick previously did and is not worth smoking further.

I read somewhere that Churchill would very often smoke only 2/3rds of a cigar before putting it down
He either had good taste, or had a large stash of cigars

 

[OzPiper]

I smoke cigars, and I smoke a pipe. I enjoy both, but much prefer a pipe. I don’t think that the experience or tobacco is the same. Am I wrong?

I’ve chopped up part of a cigar to smoke in a pipe
And smoked the remainder as a cigar
Same cigar. But quite different taste, in my experience.

I had an uncle who was a lifelong pipe smoker, near the end of his life he took up cigars but being a thrifty guy, he would just plop the cigar but in a pipe and finish it that way.

This has got a peanut butter and pickle sandwich type of appeal to me. I’ve wanted to try it since I heard about it, but we shouldn’t obey all of our impulses, should we?

 

[Sigmund]

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar....

 

[RookieGuy80]

I think I'd be more inclined to cut some coins off of a fresh cigar than smoking a butt in a pipe. But don't let me yuck anyone's yum.

When a cigar has been exceptional and I want to enjoy every last iota, I have loaded the stub in a pipe and smoked it. In my experience, more often than not, by the time the cigar has smoked down to that level after two hours of drawing through it, the tars have collected in that end and tastes nothing like the majority of the stick previously did and is not worth smoking further.

What if you just sliced the cigar up precisely for piping? Is that heresy?

Burned for heresy? Anyone should do as he or she pleases with his or her pipes and cigars.

I do that with hopelessly plugged as well as sticks that are damaged.
