Taken from the Urban Dictionary:

(slang verb) To keep something all for oneself, thus depriving anyone else of having any. A slang term derived from the last name of famous actor Humphrey Bogart because he often kept a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, seemingly never actually drawing on it or smoking it. Often used with weed or joints but can be applied to anything.

In other words, puff puff give.

What is the origin of the terms Bogart as in Bogart that drink?

Bogarting is generally a term used when referring to smoking, particularly a joint. The actor, Humphrey Bogart was notorious for talking with a cigarette hanging out the side of his mouth. Bogarting a joint implies one who is keeping the joint in his mouth instead of passing it when finished "taking a hit". Due to this idea of hoarding the joint for yourself bogarting has also become a term used to imply one who refuses to share. In response to the previous answer when Bogart asks Sam in Casablanca to "play it again", he is referring to a song Sam is to play on the piano. The song is a tune which was important to Rick, Bogart's character, and Ilsa, Bergman's character. The fact he is getting a drink at this moment is irrelevant to what he is saying.

What does the verb bogart or bogarted mean?

This verb comes from the fact that very often in his movies Humphrey Bogart is seen with a cigarette in his mouth, and usually it stays there a long time. So "bogart" became a verb meaning to hold onto something a long time, especially when others are waiting to share. In the 1960s the term was often used among marijuana smokers, who might ask someone who was taking too long before passing on a lit reefer: "Hey, don't bogart that joint!" In the sixties film "Easy Rider" a soundtrack song made that usage popular; it in fact was titled "Don't Bogart That Joint, My Friend." For more information on "bogart" see the link provided below.
