I had a guy at work tell me the other day that when he is finished with a cigar he likes to let the cigar go out, and then he actually chews the butt of the cigar. He said there is a whole lot of nicotine build up in the end, and it gives you a great buzz....I don't think I will be trying it, but hey different strokes for different folks

I'll chew the Cap sometimes. I do it after I cut it, but before I light the cigar. It gives me a good sense of what to expect from in terms of flavors from the wrapper. So if I think of it I will, if I don't I won't. Kind of depends on how much I want to pay attention whie I smoke the thing.
Kind of suprised more people don't do this actually, but I chew occassionally as well so I just never thought much of it.
In the same way as getting me to voluntarily leave a perfectly good airplane in flight (via parachute), you gonna have to do something d@mned drastic to get me to voluntarily chew terbacky....
Misunderstood what this thread was about. I thought it was about using your teeth to remove the cap, which is commonplace in the tobacco world. As for chewing on the cut cap? Meh. Would rather just light up...

Its about the fact that some people like to cut off the cap, and then chew on the cut off cap.

Only place I have ever heard of this is in the CCom videos, like when Alex did it blindfolded (or rather... Santa Capped?) I will admit that I've tried it, but did not get much out of it, and would rather just smell the foot, feel the wrapper and seams, pinch to test the construction, and take a cold draw to get everything I can from a cigar before lighting.

That may be the key actually... The concept of chewing tobacco has always been absolutely revolting to me, and so this never occurred to me either.

haha I guess that makes sense why more people don't do this.
And I don't chew the cap every time, just when I feel like it, or if I'm trying to take notes on a cigar or something. It just helps me prep the palate, I guess, for what I should be expecting.
No chew though? man are you guys missing out. For me, aside from a good cigar there's not much out there more relaxing than a cheek full of Redman. Especially the Golden blend. so freaking good.
Not for me, I tried it 1 time early on and yuck; actually my springer spaniel likes to try to chew the cap if it falls to the ground. This is the same dog that actually dug through the compost to find my spent stick nubs so she could chew them, and to my wife's horror bring them in the house on the sofa I now have a secure compost pail where the nubs are composted.

HAHAHA, I hear you man. thats funny though. Dogs and cigar butts or ash are ridiculous. If I ash on the ground outside our two goons run over to lick it up. so gross. I've caught them eyeing the butts out of the ash tray when I leave that outside, but thankfully I've never seen them actually eating them. Which is suprising b/c our malamute is like a shark. She eats everything man. We've had some interesting things come up out of her, but suprisingly only 1 blockage so far.
Thats hilarious that your spaniel brought the butts inside on the couch to enjoy. haha. I guess everyone wants to relax in a comfy seat and enjoy a cigar.
