Well the spitting thing I understand sort of however I have found that for some strange reason when I am out side smoking at night is the only time when a cigar makes me feel like I need to spit. It doesn't matter what I do as far as a beverage goes, put me outside with everything else the exact same as when I am inside and I will feel the need to spit while smoking every time but you put me inside my house or the bar or something and nothing. Weird.
