Works great as a beard trimmer, kinda stinks though.

You can try but you won't really be able to enjoy it. I've done it a few times but only when I was down to the end. It'll never burn properly with all that wind. Don't waste a good cigar.

I have no problems, the batwing helps alot. If you really want to try it, get a smaller/cheaper cigar. If it doesn't work, then you haven't wasted a Rocky.

why would you even want to? I can't think of any legitimate reason to smoke a cigar while riding.

Default Once Knew A Guy!

I know a guy who was half blind in 1 eye and could barely see out of the other. He was riding down the parkway one day, chomping on his stogie, and you got it! A big chunk of dead ashe flipped up into his "good" eye. I wasn't there, but, from what he said - no panic - but - an urgent need to pull over to the side of the hywy.!!!! I would of given a nickle to see that! If the need rises to light up, for gods sake, pull over and light up WHILE YOUR STOPPED! If you live to tell the tale, makes a great story! If not, could be your epitaph!

Would you light one and then blow at it? Doesn't that make it "burn" instead of "smolder"?

I've smoked, cigarettes and cigars while riding. Only thing is they burn quicker due to the wind. Other than that it's no problem. Plus you look like a total badass and we all know image is everything.
