The salivation is natural as one's tongue is both picking up food-like signals (sweet tobacco taste) and one's mouth linings are being irritated by the smoke.Originally Posted by ggiese
Why do I have the strange feeling something is up with these two???
Smoking Macanoodles???
"spitting" when he smokes a cigar?
Now the usual unconscious reaction is to swallow, or wash it down with whatever you're drinking. The consequence of those actions is that you've now just given yourself the same elevated odds of throat, esophageal, and stomach cancer as a cigarette smoker. Thus, if I'm outside, or smoking alone at home, I deliberately choose to spit, and use a spittoon.
(Washing down the smoke with alcohol has a multiplicative effect on the odds, but sometimes you just have to take those odds)
As for Mac 1968's, $10 is ridiculous, IMHO. There are many smokes that are MUCH better for less than half the price, e.g. Gran Habano Corojo #5, or the Party Short that I'm enjoying right now
Bama, Six-pack - please, do yourselves a HUGE favour and sign up for a newbie sampler. Sorry, but a "Macanudo cigar" is like "American beer" (the industrial stuff, not microbrews). Many start out smoking them, many still smoke them, but if you're going to get into cigars as a hobby, then it is time to explore other cigars.
