Anyone ever smoke two cigars at the same time?

[ohbob976]

Or is that just disrespectful and gluttonous in your opinion. 

Ive don’t it a few times during long car rides. Get to compare and contrast sort of.  Maybe if i wasn’t enjoying the first cigar I lit up, lite up another one and go back and forth. 

[Çnote]

Yes, but only in gluttonous circumstances.

Some reviewers actually do this, so they can puff more and narrow down the flavors that are in their head a bit better, without overheating the sample(s). I've never done this, I don't think I'm necessarily opposed to it, but I'd probably be quick to judge someone if I actually saw it in action. ?

I’ve done this once while doing a review. It was a pain in the ass and I wouldn’t recommend it. I don’t believe I really got to enjoy either cigar.

It is so much fun to do, especially if you are smoking two or three of your very favorite cigars at the same time.

Make sure that each cigar has a flavor profile that is distinct and pronounced; sweet, fruity, spicy, strong ligero or maduro... something distinct,

If you can try to also chose distinct textural elements for each cigar; smoothness, roughness, weight in your mouth and in your hand.

And last is the texture of the smoke; thick enough to blow smoke rings and I'm in heaven!

I once saw someone smoke 3 Culebras at the same time.  But I think that was because they thought that is what you are supposed to do.

From @Luca's profile picture (thanks @Luca!)....

I think LS was comparing the Partagas Serie D cigars in this review from memory.

I've seen Suckling do it in reviews too.

I've never tried smoking more than one cigar at a time myself.

[ohbob976]

 I’ve had times where it’s just too much and the cigars keep burning out.

Other times lighting up a second makes me  appreciate the flavors of the first that I couldn’t appreciate originally. 

[Lotusguy]

Never did it. Seems too much work to keep both going.

[Astar20]

I just got done doing this for the heck of it a BBF and RA SCC

[rabidraccoon]

Yeah I have. Wouldn’t recommend it

[Derboesekoenig]

Besides a culebras? No. I don't think that I would ever want to try this either. I have a tough enough time discerning single flavor notes in one cigar, let alone two different cigars simultaneously. But I do applaud those those that are able to do this

[DeskSmkr]

Not yet.

Good idea.

Sometimes I want more smoke volume from the Por Larrañaga Montecarlos and have overheated more than one trying.

Two at the same time should rightly solve that!

      *I've only seen cigarette smokers "have one with one" and hard drinkers who "drink while they're drinking" - but haven't seen or heard of cigar smokers doing two at a time. I suppose there could be reasons, as you guys have mentioned above, why some folks, sampling them, might light up two at a time...

Really? The PLMC have always produced consistently the most smoke volume out of 85% of cigars I smoke. It's been quite impressive for its size, in my opinion.

That's what I did with my first a long time ago. Didn't know any better.?

[Piligrim]

I did at cigar testing competitions. helps to understand some things, but this is not for enjoyment for sure.

     *Sometimes these things need to come with a set of smoking instructions: I still don't know if that knob/stump or whatever it is in the middle of the Entubar cigars is supposed to stay there or you pull it out? And with that Oscar "Leaf" - do you pull the cigar out of that wrap around leaf or leave it on while smoking?

What’s a cigar testing competition?

Give it a shot you might be surprised. The contrast between the two cigars sometimes highlights the unique flavors you wouldn't have  origianlly have picked up on.

other times it’s just a pain and not worth it

I'll try it with 2 PCs or minutos that are vastly different and see how it goes

When you smoke cigars without bands and should tell what exactly you are smoking.

I thought so, though I acknowledge your point and will be cognizant of this next time I have one.

I’m interpreting lack of smoke as a desire for more than just a nibble or a taste, and the PLMC are so good, I want to dig in for a nice big bite of smoke, and when I do, poof, too hot. Likely I need to concentrate on temperance, then do it.

Only a handful of times. The one that was most memorably was the entire range of Oliva Serie V Maduros.
