I just made up the term cigar bleeding. It refers to the tendency of some cigars to surrender copious juices when mixed with saliva like a teabag in hot water. Some cigars don't let go of a drop of nicotine juice, like they were dry-cleaned before rolling.
Obviously there will be mild and strong juices and nicotine contents. Also, I chew and suck my cigars, which might not be a universal activity. If you don't wet kiss your cigar, this will not be an issue. Some cigars start bleeding right away, others only towards the end. Cigar juice is rapidly absorbed through the oral mucosa and I find it can be too much too fast. I've had to put out delicious cigars halfway through. I've also tried squeezing out the juice with a paper towel. That postpones the inevitible for a while, but has to be repeated over and over, unless you've got dry mouth syndrome.
I just smoked a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur that was thicker and longer than a Churchill. It smelled and tasted delicious, but the mouth tip (what do they call it?) was poorly constructed and began caving in right away, necessitating my biting into the cigar higher up. I had quite a big mouthful that got wet and began bleeding. In moderation that juice is flavorful, but just like a tea bag, it kept bleeding more and more. Halfway through I had to toss it. How do I rate a cigar like that? Delicious. A really superb, high-class taste only the best mixers and curers can achieve. And then the negatives I listed. I realize the bleeding can be a plus for some smokers just like the bitterness can be.
Can you relate? Where do you stand?
