[edit] "Freaking"

Black and Milds are often "freaked" which is a process where people remove the inner ("cancer") paper. This is done by removing the tobacco from the cigar, usually into the plastic wrapper that it comes in, removing the "cancer paper" and then replacing the tobacco. Sometimes marijuana is used as a substitute. In some instances the bottom portion of the plastic tip is lightly burned(usually by using a lighter)melting the cigar and tip together creating a greater pull of smoke per puff...

I moved the above from the article as it is unsourced/unreferenced and not very encyclopedic in tone. --Alf ^melmac 03:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

The only source are the hundreds of students in college who routinley did this while I was in school...I first learned about it at a house party nearly 9 years ago..I have traveled to different cities all over the US where people (mostly those in urban culture)know exactly what "freaking" is...I've done it myself countless times and all I did was add to someones post who had already discribed it...I think you should reconsider...Obviously i can understand if it was the wording problems that contributed...Perhaps i could have written it more professionally.

I agree......people do this everywhere and the only difference is what they call it.....around me they call it "champing" or "freaking"

I've re-removed the section, as it is un-encyclopedic, not sourced, and sadly college students who do it at a house party are not reliable sources. KOS | talk 00:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
