A aquaintance of mine told me that his father and his buddies used to smoke what were called "Stogies" - they had a kind of cork-screw shape to them and when they were down to the last inch they would let it go out and then pop it in there mouth and chew it . Has anyone ever heard anything like this . This supposedly took place in South Philadephia 30 years ago with regularity . Not that I want to start eating my cigar butt's , it just seem's totally absurd to me .
