Are you a holder?

I've come across a few people recently In the local cigar community... That have a cigar to just hold. They never cut or smoke it... They just hold it and occasionally chew on the end. Wtf???? What's the appeal? They aren't high end sticks either.

Good friend of mine used them to stop chewing tobacco. Another farmer I know goes through boxes of monte 2 straight from Cuba....never smokes them. Chews on them all day, and I mean several boxes a month...

When my brother and I used to go to our local car auction there was another dealer who showed up frequently. He'd unwrap a Churchill (don't know what brand) and stick it as far back as he could between his cheek and his teeth. It stayed there all day, unlit, but every time you saw him it was shorter. There wasn't much left by the end of the day. Can't imagine what pleasure he must have gotten from that but at least he could say he didn't smoke..... :-)

I've never been on the side of chew. Heck I've never smoked anything other than the occasional cigars. So i guess it makes sense to gnaw on a stick instead of chew.

My brother-in-law doesn't smoke them he chews them like Skoal. I thought he was a little off, but I guess he has company. Weird if you ask me, but different strokes I suppose.

Have seen a few chew em. On my way to FL in an airport say a guy with a double perfecto in his cheek. Never heard of anyone just holding em! I guess for the look

sounds like a waste of a cigar to me.

Maybe just habit, notice a lot of smokers use their pens at work and meetings the same way. One even flicks it like a cigarette. I can hold a cigar in my mouth pre-light but after lighting usually not for long. Tend to duck-ass it and it gets all wet and yucky pretty quick.

I like taking my cigars with me when I am out...sometimes I just keep it in my mouth and sometimes I just hold it and then later will light it up and smoke it. Maybe it's just the idea of knowing it will be smoked at some point during the day but sometimes I just keep it in my mouth while riding my motorcycle...then light it later while riding. Not sure why this is such a comfort for some of us...but it is so....we do it.

Before a smoke a cigar a may hold it for a bit, cut it, and take a few pulls on it before i light it to enjoy some of the pre-light flavors but i don't just chew on it all damn day. Not my thing.
