The traditional slang definition of "Bogart":
To hold on to a joint too long without passing it on. Comes from the fact that Humphrey Bogart used to smoke like a train in his movies. So the person holding on to the joint too long is said to be "bogarting" it.
Other people may use this word for other purposes nowadays, but this is the traditional slang definition. Its use in this context was probably first documented in popular culture in the 1968 song "Don't Bogart Me" by The Fraternity of Man, featured in the "Easy Rider" soundtrack

In the late 70s, early 80s, "Bogarting" was to take an extra toke off a joint that was being passed around. This usually occurred when three or more people would "Partake" and the person(s), in the middle (the passer), would "Bogart" a hit.
Its origin is obviously from legendary actor, Humphrey Bogart's' notable "over indulgence" for smoking cigars.
