I smoke a pipe from time to time as well. One thing I never did but will probably try is breaking down a cigar and mixing it with some shisha. That's one thing that lacks to me with the experience is that kick from some stronger tobaccos.

Interesting idea, I don't think I could break up a good cigar though. A good cigar is soo wonderful in it's current form.

I have the raw tobacco, no need to break up a perfectly good cigar...

When I was a kid and first breaking into cigars (phillies, swisher sweets, black 'n mild, etc) I had a backwoods that fell all apart so we crunched it into a pipe and smoked it. Granted it was a homemade pipe made to smoke other essential herbs, and we ended up swallowing more than smoking.

Never tried it, but I have heard of guys smoking cigars down to the band and then clipping the ash and dark parts of the cigar out...storing it in a ziplock...and then when they have enough, grinding it down for pipes. Seems like you would have a lot of different flavors to deal with (if you got all of the burnt out of course)...or maybe I was naive when I heard that!! Anyway try it ever?

I guess it depends on the cigar, but it seems like it would be awefully strong.

There are some tobaccos blended with cigar leaf. I'd recommend a stronger english style tobacco if your looking for some oomph from your pipes. Never tried a hookah before.
