What do you do with your butts?

I toss my dead cigar buts in a gallon galvanized metal bucket and empty it in the garden after a couple of months. I emptied the bucket the other day.

Here is the cigar butts' graveyard at Chez King:

I am waiting for the rain and the tobacco maggots to decompose these butts in the circle of life. What do you do with your spent butts?

I stuff them in the bottom of a pipe bowl once they have dried and use an OJK topper or something. So - I finish smoking them...

I toss mine in my fire pit and they burn when I have a fire in the back yard. Think I may have to try the Padre method on some of the gooder ones

You want them pretty dry. I personally recommend this practice. It works very well for me.

I either field strip them and sprinkle them through the lawn, or pop them in a bowl and smoke or I have been known to pop them 'tween cheek and gum for a chew. It depends on my mood, my company and how much I enjoyed the cigar.

I heat them in bourbon until they turn into a black liquid sauce . I then strain the juice . Whats left in the " filter " , I add to cigarette tobacco for rolling cigarettes [ adds flavor ] . The " juice " can be injected into about any soft tissue in the body for that extra nicotine kick at 1000 rpm
