‘Smoming’ a stogie? What is that? Or is it a question not safe to ask on a refined forum?

Hey pal I fixed one of your typos the other day

Thank you. I appreciate it. ‘Smoming’ was such a great word, I couldn’t resist.

That's Cool Sea. What's Memphis riding these days?

I have a pic of you and he here somewhere smoking stogies out front at the Ky rally.

I think he still has a Wing and recently picked up a VFR800. I know the pic; one of my faves.

“Stogie” = “Cigar” in Yankee slang

The question prompted me to do a Google search on the word’s origins. Seems that the name is related to Conestoga, Pennsylvania where both tobacco was grown and Conestoga Wagons were built. “Stogie” was a name given to the driver of a Conestoga Wagon and somehow the name was further attributed to the rather roughly made cigars that they smoked.

I was aware of that, but delighted I prompted you to look at its etymology. How do you pronounce stogie? Like ‘dodgy’? Or is it a long ‘o’ (as in bow that you use an arrow with). Hard ‘g’ as in ‘dog’? Or soft as in ‘gas’?

Again, thanks for that.
