Every once in a while I'd run into an old-timer that chewed his
cigar, usually after it went out, rather than relight it.
Now I am an old-timer, and I make sure they don't go out.
Sometimes I'll clamp down on a yard 'gar, when I have to use
two hands. After several clamps, it might appear to be chewed.
But good cigars never get a chance to go out.
