Arse backwards

[Kdot]

Anyone here ever lit the cap end of a cigar? (after cutting)

The reason I pose this question is because I have. And to my amazment I thought the cigar was better for it.

The cigar in question is the fairly mild RjJ Short Churchill. I'm not the biggest fan of this puro but find myself returning when looking for something different.

Smoking it backward, It just tasted stronger and had a better smoke throughout, I dont know if they pack more liguero toward the bottom but it made for an enjoyable smoke throughout, so much so I though I should share this experiance.

Can't say I have ever done that, but may have to try if it makes it better! I will wait until I am drunk first though!

Can't say i've smoked it backwards but walking with the dog at night i've pulled a pre punched RyJ no2 out and charged the wrong end. It gave the first few puffs and earthier taste and then went back to how it should taste. I guess it was the caramelised sugars in the leaf just turning but i wouldn't want to suck on a well charged end lol.

[TJCoro]

Well, well...

Why am I not surprised at this, senor KMart.

[Soulmanure]

Never done that either, but it would be interesting to have a back to back, literally speaking, taste test.

[Pandyboy]

No done that myslef but might give it a go with one I don't like much.

[whisky77]

Wot!

Never tried it either. What if I smoked a cigar as normal and walked backwards, would that still count?

[nicwing]

First you tell me there are hundreds of different cigars to confuse the hell out of me, now you are telling me it matters which end I light!

The next thing you are going to tell me is that I am going to want to spend ?60 on a cigar I can't pronounce.

Where will it all end?

[eggopp]

Ive done it with a cigar, dont recall which stick it was though, but i didnt find any difference in taste but was harder to toke on...

[kingcohiba]

You prolly left the bands on and that's why it seemed so much stronger! Take em off next time fper! Haha

[Habana-Habanos]

That is seriously interesting :P.

[Zippo]

A new theory is arising. .
Damn i have to test this one day.

Did it not start to unravel?

[TJCoro]

It Ain't Right!

Did it not start to unravel?

You are wise, senor dreamweaver. You spotted the flaw in this ass-backward technique.

[Howling]

Did it not start to unravel?

Yeah I'm surprised the foot did not start coming apart in your mouth as the smoke progressed.

Forgive me if I don't try and repeat your feat (well at least not deliberately)
