Adam,

Nothing new, been doing this for years. It is a great way to smoke a cigar when it gets short enough that you don't want to burn your fingers. I have found that I enjoy a parait that way too, a half bowl of tobacco, and a cigar nub that gets put on top. If done right you can smoke the whole way through.

Cigar chompers will find this difficult with their highly moistened cigars.

It is best to find cigars which fit snuggly into the bowl of the pipe.

Here is something else really cool about a pipe. If it is raining while you are outside smoking, you can turn over a straight stemmed pipe and smoke it that way. Once the burn is going, you can smoke the bowl upside down. The bowl of the pipe keeps the rain out. When I am fishing and it is raining, this is a great method.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
