Do you spit when you smoke?

[labmonkey]

I think they do. I know my mouth waters just thinking about them sometimes. And especially when I am smoking a spicy cigar I sometimes spit once or twice, if I am outside... I don't HAVE to spit though.....

You only spit outside? maybe that's why my wife calls me a !

don't cigars just make your spit thicker? seems like the smoke would mix with the spit making it thicker and seem like more making some people want to spit. just an idea.

With my limited experience with cigars I noticed that if it's a low qualify cigar I spit. The hotter the smoke or bitter the more of a defense reaction the mouth has. Some of the nicer cigars that are smoother and richer don't give me the urge or mouth full of spit.

I'm also one of those people who don't wasting anything. If it's a bad movie I'll sit through it since I paid for it. If it's a bad cigar I'll finish it.

i was smoking a cigar while golfing this weekend and noticed i was spitting, and then remembered this thread. But when i'm sitting out on the porch smoking, i dont spit. So i'm not sure what the difference is

When I started Smoking Cigars I use to feel the need, but a good cold glass of water will clense your palate as you smoke. After a while I just got use to it and now I dont need to clense my palate any more.

Hi, first post for me so be patient.

Have to admit that I do spit regularly, depending on the cigar. I smoke a lot of Jose L. Piedra (machine made short filler) and with these i am expectorating the whole time. Give me a San Crystobal and its a different story.

Generally I smoke outside, so it's not that much of a problem.
