Im in a habit of some sort of twirling my cigars when Im drawing off of them. Not sure where I picked this up or even why. Do any of you guys do this?

Twirling sound like something a young girl in a leotard does at the front a of a parade, if that is what you are referring to, no I do not twirl.

Do I rotate the cigar in my fingertips as I smoke? Yes, but not just during the draw. I think it helps prevent burn issues caused by wind, and compressed spots from your fingers and lips that could prevent an uneven draw.

Not a twirler here. Don't see the point and besides... you risk unraveling the wrapper if you by misfortune don't cut the head cleanly.

Tig, you asked for it! LoL!
It's an experience so you do some interesting things when you smoke a cigar!

It's not something I do constantly, but yeah, I rotate my cigar while drawing every now and then. Mainly though, I just rotate it between puffs...pretty much unconsciously.

This is my reason as well. Also sometimes to keep the cap from unwrapping should my cut be a little off or the cap just loosens on its own (I hate that).
