Do you guys ever drop your cigar?

[cort]

When you are smoking it? I dont know if I am just a dipshit but I tend to drop my cigar quite a bit. If I am just sitting down relaxing I never have a problem but when I am up and moving...playing darts, ping pong, whatever I get instant butter-fingers. This does not happen on 100% of my cigars but the numbers are astounding:( Dropping the stick usually is not that big of a deal, the ash breaks and may need a touch up burn, but I cant help but feel stupid everytime I do it.

Am I alone or is there anyone else that wans to admit to this shameful mishap?

[Dood]

I don't have a problem once it's lit, but I have a bad habit of dropping them and dinging them up before I get a chance to smoke them.

[Genetic Defect]

my dog assists me in dropping cigars:bh

[-MG-]

I'm pretty good at dropping ash on myself... but can't remember the last time the whole cigar ran away.

[Scottw]

Not me, so long that it doesn't fall into your lap while driving, you'll be OK

[hotreds]

No, but I once balanced it on the edges of a glass of soda, and naturally I brushed against the glass- in it went. Boy, that thing sucked up the liquid like a sponge. Coke infused stogie, anyone?

[croatan]

All the freaking time :r

[Nimbus]

Tie a rubber band around your cigar and finger(s) when you smoke. LOL j/k I have not dropped my cigar yet because I can hardly put it down.

Maybe you are so relaxed during your cigar time that you lose all feeling in your body. :confused: :D

[rck70]

Pine Tar:D

[groogs]

I do once in a while if I am running around doing things.

[cort]

Pine Tar:D

Now that a good idea. Maybe some wide receiver gloves:D

[Darrell]

I dont know if I am just a dipshit

That's my guess. ;)

I kid. :D

I don't typically drop my sticks unless I am at working and rest them off the counter and accidentally hit them or something.

[kgraybill]

Here is a post I made a while back.

Today at lunch I stopped by the B&M to get a couple of sticks. Walking back and forth for a while the guy told me that they just got in these Olivero Classics. I asked what he thought of it. He told me that he had not tried one yet but the boss whas smoking one right now. That was good enough for me so I got 2 of them. I normally like to get 2 so if I like it I will have another for later or if I dont like it I will be able to give them a second chance.
Well, when I left work I realized that I did not have a cutter or a punch with me and ended up cutting it with my pocket knife. After firing it up I hit the road. It started off somewhat hard to draw but loosened up after a couple off hits. when the ash was about 1.5 inches long I held it out the window to blow the ash off. I did not go anywhere so I tapped it a little and it still did not blow off. Well before I knew it I was crossing lanes. fortunatly there was no one in that lane.
Further down the road I had another 1.5" ash and tried the same way to knock the ash off. Same thing. so I tried again to tapp it. This time I lost grip of my smoke and it flew back in the window, hit my leg and disappeared. Now I am all over the truck to make sure this thing is not burning through the seat or going to burn other things if you get my drift.
Again, I am bouncing all over the interstate, so I made my way to the shoulder to retrieve my cigar from who know where in this truck. I found it behind the seat still burning away and still had half of the ash on it.
fortunatly nobody was hurt and I got to finish my smoke.
I ended up smoking it till it burned my fingers so I guess it was worth the hassle.
If you like sticks that hold a good ash, the Olivero classic is the one.
I will wait until I get home to fire up next time.

[ucubed]

I've dropped it only a few times...I ash myself more often, however I start to ash it more often so I don't do it anymore

[gvarsity]

I'm a bit of a butterfingers particularly after a beer or two. Never have ruined one that way though.(knock on wood)

[massphatness]

Gary, you are most definitely NOT alone. :fl

[elderboy02]

I dropped a Nub into my dog's water dish one time.

The other time I dropped a Sancho Panza Double Maduro on the porch and destroyed the wrapper all to hell.

[Cenookie]

I find that if I'm sitting alone and relaxing I sometime drop my cigar. I think this happens because I get so relaxed.

[MarkinAZ]

This thread makes for some interesting reading:rolleyes: Can't say that I've developed a case of the dropsy' (yet):ss

I am gonna send you some greased up sticks Mark:ss

[poker]

put a leash on it and tie around pinky finger :tu

[Don Fernando]

I'm pretty good at dropping ash on myself... but can't remember the last time the whole cigar ran away.

:tpd: I think I drop ash all over me at least once every 3 or 4 cigars.

[Da Klugs]

Not in the shower. :)

[gnukfu]

Don't worry Gary it happens with young smokers.....as you get older you will find that you'll be able to go for a long time without your cigar drooping....:cool2:


Oh that was dropping? I don't recall every dropping a cigar. I have ashed myself quite a few times but never drop the stogie.....must be an LA Laker thing.....:bh

[TRicker]

yup been there done that.

[BlackIrish]

Haven't actually dropped one. I have, however, had a couple fall out of an ashtray. My local cigar bar haunt has some ashtrays that don't have big enough "fingers." They're big round ashtrays with grooves that require the stick to balance a bit. I've been sitting there working on my laptop with the cigar resting in the ashtray when the ash will drop by itself, the balance will be thrown off, and the cigar will fall out, right onto my lap or the floor.

[Zipper]

I was hanging out with my girlfriends father and some of his buddies. He got up to go relieve himself in the woods, but took his beer, and his cigar with him. Somehow in the confusion, he put the wrong end of the cigar in his mouth, immediately dropped it into his beer, and while trying to save the stick dumped the beer on his foot. I'll never mention it, but his buddies are never going to let him live that one down:r

[Coz77]

I don't have a problem once it's lit, but I have a bad habit of dropping them and dinging them up before I get a chance to smoke them.

:tpd: I once split a CAO Brazillia from foot to head by dropping it only a couple feet. It popped open like a tube of Pillsbury crescent rolls :mad:

[ucla695]

Hey Gary, somehow I manage to drop a stick or two every year, but I have a real problem keeping the ashes in the ash tray. Somehow they always end up on my clothes, the ground and all over the table.

[Dandee]

I drop them all the time....but I'm a clutz.

Seems to me, I remember a story of someone dropping a cigar when they got out of their car and then stepping on it because they thought it was a big bug. LOL

[TheRealBonger]

I am pretty good with cigars, but my pipe I drop all the time. It will be hanging out of my mouth while watching tv and next thing I know it is rolling down my chest dumping ash the whole way. :fl I cannot seem to hold a pipe in my teeth, so I should just quit trying and keep my hands on whatever I am smoking. :tu

[Spect]

my dog assists me in dropping cigars:bh

My wife and I will have a smoke on the couch and our lab who acts like she's on crack will typically knock our of our cigars out of the ashtray. :bh

[VirtualSmitty]

Yep, i've dropped em a few times. Normally happens when someone calls me on the phone and i'm fumbling around trying to get my phone out of my pants pocket.

[SeanGAR]

Dropped a cigar out of the window while driving once .... I watched the car behind me run over it so no point in turning around. :bh

[TXRebel]

Only when I’ve had too much to drink and I usually hit the ground right after the cigar.:D

[Beer Doctor]

Depends how much I've been drinking:chr

[Totemic]

I drop them quite often.
My keyboard's absolutely filthy with ash and even my little hand vac isn't much help. I think in another 3 to 4 months, I'll just toss this keyboard and get a new one.

But I consider it a part of the experience. :)

[Tikihut27]

Dropped on in the Genesee river today. But I had a fish on, so it evened out.

[petewho]

I've dropped my cigar after many beers. Picked it up and smoked it with the wrapper cracking apart. I've dropped one in the ashtray before too, but finished it - I smoke totally dry, so no ash stuck to the stick.

Yeah, pretty much only drop my stick when I'm drunk.

I'm a WWII reenactor, and I've been known to run/shoot/jump/duck/hit-the-ground with a small cigar stuck in the corner of my mouth and haven't dropped one yet.

[livwire68]

Every chance I get! Not really but I do have a tendency to set it down somewhere and then I knock it around and sometimes step on them. And it baffles me how I loose them as well. :confused:

[tsolomon]

Based on personal experience, it's not something you want to do while you're wearing shorts.

[Ms. Floydp]

I drop mine on rare occasion but Frank is a different story. When we remodeled our smoking room I put in peel 'n stick tiles so I could replace them after Frank burns them with his cigar. LOL.. He drops them alot. Haven't replaced any tiles yet (he's pretty fast at picking them up) but am going to put ceramic tiles in here cause of our chairs rolling around.

[AD720]

All the time. Sometimes, as a reflex, I catch it.:fl That usually sucks.

[dannyboy]

I seem to drop them when I get down to the nub, and am trying to pinch it in my fingernails so as not to burn my fingertips. Being that I do not have long fingernails, that is tricky and usually results in a dropped nub.

[darb85]

ive dropped a few, but not been too bad knocked the cherry out of one and couldnt get it relit but it was ok

[papajohn67]

Dropped one while driving on the freeway, thought it hit the floor until I saw smoke billowing up between my legs. Burned a hole in the seat of my fairly new Toyota truck. Also dropped a Padron 64 in the toilet...hey I'm old and have a weak bladder.

[AriesOpusX]

I've dropped my cigar right out of my mouth a few times, once into the toilet.

Kind of tough to play ping pong and smoke:confused:

[Rabidsquirrel]

Now that I think about it, I've dropped it twice in the last five or so cigars.

I'm also a pro at putting it down while working on the car and immediately finding the cherry with the palm of my hand.

[Old Sailor]

Nick drops his everytime the Black Helicopters fly over!:r:r

[Starscream]

I dropped a Nub into my dog's water dish one time.

:rI remember that story from CS a couple of months ago! A case of the wet nub.
:tpd: I think I drop ash all over me at least once every 3 or 4 cigars.

:tpd:



I drop my cigar everytime I smoke. I drop it when I'm done.:D

[rwhit37]

Guys this is a serious problem for him. Honestly! ROLF

Don't worry, Gary. I'll send you some pine tar. That should take care of it.:tu

[apython]

I don't usually drop my cigar but I did drop my cutter out the window of my work truckthe other day. I was clipping a La Aroma de Cuba after leaving holts in north east Philly. We keep our change in the ashtray so ashes and clipped caps go out the window. Well somehow I dropped the cutter on the highway. No big deal though it was a cheapie cutter.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

i definately wouldnt want to drop a burning stick while naked................:r

[FriskyDingo]

I can't remember ever dropping my cigar, but I don't even set it down usually. I'm not quite sure why I even have ashtrays with cigar holders on them.

That's a bad case of tobbaco abuse- you may have to go into solitary seclusion. If I hear of a another case I may have to report it for a full investigation. I can't afford to drop cigars around here- the dust is so bad and the percentage of feces in that dust is unbelievable, so with those two items I make it a priority to keep my smokes in complete control.

[Mugen910]

I'm pretty good at dropping ash on myself... but can't remember the last time the whole cigar ran away.

Same here..but then again I'm always pushing the limits of the ash.:tu

[BlackDog]

Same here. Drop lots of ash, but not the cigar itself.

[pearson]

dropping ash on myself and dropping my stogie. sometimes I am just sitting there and it ends up on the floor. one thing that I have never gotten in to was setting it down on a ash try.

[Cigary]

Last time I dropped a cigar was about 3 years ago and I have not dropped one since. Here's the story. I am in my local B&M where I was a member for about 4 years in Framingham, Ma. A few of us are in our leather chairs and sofas watching the game and after having our lunch of pizza, chinese food, yes we always had our food brought in, I drank enough to have to excuse myself to the bathroom. I had been smoking a nice Opus X at the time and was into this cigar only about 1/3 and excused myself to go do Gods work. I'm in there doing his work with the cigar in my left hand and breathing a nice sigh of relief looking upward and I suddenly realize that something is amiss. I feel and hear this hissing sound like you hear when something is being extinguished and I got that really really sick feeling and look down and notice that my cigar is not leaning outside of the line of fire but rather in direct line of a full bladder attack. My mind goes into overdrive thinking that I can save this marvelous cigar when in fact my heart knew there is no such animal. Making things worse was the production I put on when I tell everyone in the room what my smoke of the day was going to be. I thought I'd be able to sneak back into the lounge without anyone noticing that my beloved cigar was in essence, pissed off literally, and here I am sans cigar. The questions came fast and furious from the lounge, "hey, where is that great Opus cigar of yours, did you drop it in the can?" I wish,,,,after more and more grilling from the members I finally had to tell them. I swear you could hear the laughter from downtown Boston and from then on I am ALWAYS aware of where my cigar is at any time. I'm thinking I learned a very valuable and expensive lesson.

[Rookie139]

LOL..I just did that this evening..Smoking a QdO Corona from 01 in the garage and I dropped it from three-four feet...Landed on its "foot" (pun intended" but sustained no damage..Smoked fine until the nub

That really sucks, but it has to be one of the funniest stories I've heard in a while haha.

[Skywalker]

Saw Mean Darrell drop one last night!!!:r

[ca21455]

Drop mine all the time, fortunately the smell of burning cushion alerts me to the condition...

[shilala]

I wouldn't feel right if I didn't drop my slobbered up cigar in the dirt and sawdust.
It adds an appealing extra dimension to the texture, and the minerals and fiber make me feel like I'm doing my body good. :tu

[petewho]

Saw Mean Darrell drop one last night!!!:r

I was front row for that too! Crushed the ash but didn't crack the wrapper - he picked it up and kept smokin' in like it was nuthin'

[acarr]

I just drop the ash. Don't know if I ever dropped the gar in the yard.

[icantbejon]

I'm pretty good at dropping ash on myself... but can't remember the last time the whole cigar ran away.

I too will admit to regularly dropping ash on myself. Makes me feel stupid every time. I don't drop whole cigars though. You're all alone in this one!

[Blueface]

I wouldn't say I do it regularly but I have been know on a few occasions to be eating crap and drop the cigar. I have been lucky a few times that no damage resulted but on a handful, it has resulted in damage and I have ruined some great cigars.

[Starscream]

Drop it like it's hot!

[cort]

Well its been at least 2 weeks since I have dropped my last cigar. Maybe confessing my embarrassing habit has cured me of this disease.:D

Good to know that we are NOT alone :)
Ash dropping and stick dropping...I am one....

[spectrrr]

2 weeks ago. Cinci Herf. Smoking an illusione #2, a little less than halfway. Taking a leak. In it went. :bn

but other than that, not very often. I ding em up a lot before smoking though.

[Yazzie]

Mostly drop the Ash all over myself trying to let it get as long as I can.

[acruce]

Happens to the best of us every know and then.

[Da Klugs]

All the time. ON me, on the ground, on others, etc. I leave them on my or Sams car half burned during lunch. Sometimes forget afterwards and start driving....:c
