Ginseng Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hi Gents, I wonder where you most often park your cigar when you're smoking? For me, it varies: In my mouth when I'm typing, working with my hands, grilling Gripped by fingers (V or pinch grip) when thinking, drinking, or reading a book or magazine On the ledge of my ashtray when I'm snacking How do you hold your cigar? Does it vary by circumstance for you like it does for me? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Can't keep it in my mouth. Agitates my nose and eyes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bijan Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Always holding it in the hand unless I'm puffing. I'll only put it down if I'm going to do something away from the cigar. But I puff often, if I was always taking 2 minutes between puffs then I might do things differently (though I kind of doubt it, I like the feel of the cigar in my hands, I really don't enjoy smoking with gloves on). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mprach024 Posted April 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2021 From my ashtray holders to my hand to my mouth to my hand to the ashtray unless it’s the cigar my buddy gave me the other day saying it was amazing, some Jamaican cigar with 3 different wrappers as you smoked down. Then....it was my ashtray to my hand to my mouth to the garbage can. 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 When I'm fishing I find myself trying to hold it in my mouth while using my arms/hands to reel. Never goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then....it was my ashtray to my hand to my mouth to the garbage can. I hear you. Years ago I used to occasionally enjoy a CAO flavored cigar called Moontrance. Bought one a few weeks ago for old time's sake and I couldn't get down more than half a dozen puffs. Man, what was wrong with me back then? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragn270 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Usually always hold it in my hand. I find if I put it down I forget to puff frequently and it goes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agitates my nose and eyes. me too. then i start inhaling a bunch of my passive smoke. I could do it while holding my breath and doing something with two hands urgently. in most cases i hold it, unless im doing something (e.g. using computer / grilling) where i need both hands then I will leave it on the ashtray. when watching Arsenal play it also helps to slow my smoking as I puff too fast too often due to the stress. if i'm out at a place where there isn't a proper cigar ashtray / unhygienic / etc and i need to put it down, the FOH cigar stand comes in handy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riderpride Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Always the hand - unless the ash falls in my lap. Then it takes a 5 sec rest on the Stinky ashtray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrcpt Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Usually hand. Lately I’ve been keeping marevas or Coronas in my mouth during the first third, mostly for the novelty, but I still need to go to hands when I do a long drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryK 54 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Most of the time in my hand. I too can’t hold it in my mouth for the reasons already mentioned. The only time it goes to the ashtray is for ashing or if I need to leave it for a while to do something away from my smoking spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrey Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Never understood a stand unless I am activity working with my hands, at which point I don't have a cigar. For me it sits in my hand. Holding in my mouth irritates me heavily as aforementioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve have previously smoked a cigar while trying to accomplish something in the shop, setting it down on the bench or vise when needed, but it just took away all the enjoyment I find for a relaxing experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enduin Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Like the others, I also always keep a cigar in my hand. Keeping it in my mouth is a no-go especially since I always smoke outside and there is always a little breeze that would blow the smoke back in my face making me choke while I'm breathing. Been there done that. If I need to do something quick where I need both hands, I hold the cigar in my mouth while holding my breath. As far as activities while smoking, I also feel like doing stuff detracts from my cigar enjoyment. The one exception is taking a walk on some nature trails with no people, which is something that I do enjoy while smoking a cigar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycosa Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It does vary depending on the circumstances for me as well. At home I'll often take a puff or two and set it down on the ashtray on one of those grooves. Sometimes the cigar spends more time in my hands. When I'm not at home and I want to do something else I'll put it down wherever possible. I've never been a fan of having the cigar in my mouth for extended periods of time, only when drawing on it. Part of it is the aforementioned discomfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enduin Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It's a double edge sword there man, depending on the cigar, the cigar holder might not give it back 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingGlass Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Today I learned I am not the only one who is unable to balance a cigar between teeth or in the corner of my mouth and not inhale smoke or irritate my eyes and nose. No pride here...I'm just not that talented. Nothing against those who are able to chew gum and walk at the same time, but Mickey D's comment resonated with me. Cigars are my cue to stop, slow down, relax and focus on the experience. When I tried gum and walking a couple times, I just stepped in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosgate Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Do whatever you want, when you want and strikes you at the moment. Just look smooth and confident when you do it. New cigar smokers stand out in the lounge like new strippers in a club that don't know where to put their hands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 You’ll usually find mine hanging out of the left side of my mouth. It scares the neighbor’s kids... 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
