How long can you keep a cigar in your mouth while smoking?

[Metallifan33]

Just curious
The other day I smoked a stick while putting something together in the back yard and tried holding the cigar in my mouth while I did stuff. Turned out I could only keep it in my mouth for a few seconds before I had to take it out. I don't know if it's because I have only been smoking 6 to 8 months or if holding a cigar in your mouth while smoking is something people only do in the movies?
I basically take a draw about twice a minute, but felt like I had to take more draws while holding it between my teeth.

Long enough for a puff and that's it

About a minute for me I take a puff or two while I'm grilling or working on my car

The smoke gets into my eyes...or you have issues breathing through your nose bc of the smoke but can't easily through your mouth because you're holding the cigar...

@10 seconds max
quite oftenly applied as such when executing a series of retro tokes to my tastier fares

Long enough to take a draw or two. Even then I still have a hand on it.

About 10 seconds.

10 sec max. Then I start getting a burning feeling in my nose like I retrohaled, but I didn't.

I can hold a well balanced pipe for a long time. Holding a cigar in my mouth longer than a few seconds.makes me gag.

Seconds.

Just long enough to take a selfie next to a "no smoking" sign

Like others. Not long. Smoke in eyes, inhale the smoke, and perhaps the most embarrassing, I drool like a teething baby.

Long enough to puff. Maybe type this response, that's about all. I can't really work and smoke at the same time.

Not very long....I tend to start drooling after about 15-20 seconds.

I don't usually smoke while working outside unless I'm doing something that allows me to stay in the vicinity of an ashtray or allows me to set my cigar down. Clenching a cigar in my teeth simply just doesn't work for me.

Not long at all. I either end up inhaling or getting smoke in my eyes. Both of which are pretty unpleasant.

I wonder if it was more common when most cigars were thinner? I don't know any cigar smokers these days who keep it in their mouth

I'm with everyone else. Too long and either smoke burns my eyes/nose, I accidentally inhale, I drool all over myself and/or the cigar, and so on.

well it depends because when i smoke in the car it never comes out of my mouth but actually doing laborous things like carrying something heavy or anything that would cause me to be winded i don't think it would stay in there long. i would definately say that smaller rg would help but. i was planting tomatoes and peppers the other day while smoking and it was fine

Don't think it has anything to do with how long you've been smoking cigars for. Personally I can't keep it in long (and from the other comments, we're all in the same boat). About 15 seconds or so for me! Cheers!

I ride my cruiser a lot and usually will ride between 30 and sixty miles each way. I've kept the cigar for at least a half hour in my mouth which attests to having my tongue feel like a barbers leather strap.
