Cigar pasing stones... WTF???

[SmokeyNL]

ok, I have never seen this before, so I thought I should post it here..
I decided to smoke a cigar that I was sent for my bday, it turned out to be plugged and burned crooked so I decide to correct it by cutting a part of it off and relighting it...

I cut it and feel my cutter hitting something hard, I open the cigar up and a stone falls out...

[WildBlueSooner]

WTF? My I ask what it was your were smoking? That sucks brother!

[Ashcan Bill]

Quit smoking those Gorilla Fingers!!!!

[MedicCook]

I have heard of stones in cigars but no one that large.

[SmokeyNL]

WTF? My I ask what it was your were smoking? That sucks brother!

a very old unbanded mystery cigar, it actually tastes pretty good, just never seen this before.

[TanithT]

Holy chit. Was that one of the sticks I sent? :mad:

[e-man67]

Wow! How could that not have been put there on purpose! Do you think it was just a gag from the roller? Maybe pissed off that day?

[GreekGodX]

How does that not pass some sort of quality control inspection? That is a pretty big rock in there..

[MedicCook]

Too bad it was not a diamond.

[loki]

never buy monday cigars

[TanithT]

Unfortunately we'll never know much about the origins, since if that was the yellow-cello "mystery stick" I sent, it was from one of a number of estate buys and did not come with a box. They're in the category of "this is a cool old cigar from whoknowswhen, let's smoke it and see if it's any good", so I pass them out at herfs for sh*ts and giggles. I've never come across anything like that in one of those. Or in any cigar actually. :mad:

I feel awful about this. What cutter did you break?

[SmokeyNL]

I have no idea, but I hope to never encounter something like this again, this can mess up your day (and your swiss army knife cutter)

[rizzle]

never buy monday cigars

:r Or Friday's.

Don't feel bad about it, you could not have known, besides, its still tasty (yes I lit it after all this)

it actually took a chunk out of my swiss army knife.

[Skywalker]

Those rocks are good luck!!!

Make sure to keep that!!!;)













Actually that sucks!!!!:(

Tainth, Smokey actually used his diamond encrusted platinum Dunhill cutter for this stick...and is shattered in a million pieces! :r

That would suck, since I'm looking for a merchant local to him to see about a replacement. :(

[G G]

Hope it wasn't a kidney stone.:tu

[SmokeyNL]

No, there is no need to replace anything, you know I have more then one cutter, besides, according to wanger you are not the only one looking to replace it :p

You couldn't have known and I am gratefull for a chance to try these old cigars, that I would otherwise never have access to.
Besides, I tried smoking rock now and know its not for me :p

So I gotta know...does rock get better with age? :r

[SmokeyNL]

I could not compare, never had rock before, never will after this I hope

[vankleekkw]

That is crazy. I was at a herf and a friend was telling me how last week he was smoking and had a bead come out (one of the hair beads). That was enough to make me sick.

[SmokeyJoe]

Dude... your cigar ROCKS! :banger

Sorry... bad joke. Glad you could still enjoy the stick. :ss

[SmokeyNL]

nah, I can laugh about the joke so its pretty good :D

the cigar is pretty tasty, almost burning my knuckles smoking it

[kydsid]

So you decided to smoke rock but found you didn't like it until you cracked your cutter.

[loki]

nah, I can laugh about the joke so its pretty good :D

the cigar is pretty tasty, almost burning my knuckles smoking it

but is the smoke purple?

[TanithT]

Glad you're enjoying the cigar anyhow!

[Dunkel]

Obviously it was a (Rock)y Patel! :r

[e-man67]

Obviously it was a (Rock)y Patel! :r


Now that is funny right there! :r

[doctorcue]

Looks like a Madagascar Vanilla nugget!!! :dr

[sodomanaz]

The rock is called a "heating stone" made to ensure that your cigar is at optimal temperatures during smoking. End of thread. ;)

[taltos]

I have seen this one other time when I was smoking a Thompson's 'cigar' given me by my brother in law. The stone was no where as large as this one though.

[TheTraveler]

I've heard the rumors/urban legends of military armorers shipping home a weapon piece by piece. Maybe that roller was trying to steal the factory a little at a time and relocate to the States! :D

Sorry 'bout your cutter but you ended up with a good smoke anyway, as well as a good story and souvenir.

[hotreds]

Must have been a Cohibo!

[Don Fernando]

That would suck, since I'm looking for a merchant local to him to see about a replacement. :(

trust me, it's cheaper to buy it in the US and send it over. For example, a Palio cutter is about 35 bucks in the US and triple that price here.

[troutbreath]

Petrified beetle?

[SmokinApe]

I have found plastic a twine in cigars but never rocks...

[joetownhound]

That's suck bro

[The Saint]

What the?...

I've had long hair, plastic threads, and a small metal nail.....but a freaking rock? I can just see the rollers at the local cantina, " What did you guys roll in the cigars today?" " I put in some plastic threads", "me?.. I put in some long hairs from the woman next to me!", "Oh, yeah?! I put in a rock! Lets see that Gringo suck on that cigar. HAHA!"

You are now the Charlie Brown of CA.....you got a rock.

Lol the Charlie Brown of CA :p

still not clear how it got there, but it does keep smoking cigars exciting, like the prizes they pit inside boxes of cerial

[Adriftpanda]

Hahahhahahahaha that is too funny... how in the hell could something like that happen? Man the roller must be pretty pissed off!

[dunng]

Crazy! I had a strip of blue tarp in a Monte #2... :r

[kelmac07]

Stay away from the ROCK Simon!!!!

[SmokeyNL]

Stay away from the ROCK Simon!!!!

still better then gorillafingers :p

[DPD6030]

Crazy! I had a strip of blue tarp in a Monte #2... :r

You sure it was a tarp and not a piece of a rubber raft? :r Sucks to hear about a rock especially THAT big in a cigar. I know Hal knows about thread but a rock wow, just wow

[kelmac07]

still better then gorillafingers :p

Simon...you'll get no arguement from me on that one!!! NONE AT ALL!!! I would rather smoke a PILE of rocks than to have to light another of those up!!

[mugwump]

Your Swiss Army cutter has a lifetime warranty if it's a Victorinox or Wenger so just mail it off to them and they'll either repair it or replace it (they usually just replace it) and all you're out is the shipping.

[Old Sailor]

Dude... your cigar ROCKS! :banger

Sorry... bad joke. Glad you could still enjoy the stick. :ss

:r:r

[kzm007]

Neat lol sorry for your trouble though, glad you can laugh about it :D

[hotreds]

A whole new meaning to "Smoking rock!"

[nozero]

Maybe it was hand made by a rock-n-roller?
:banger

[kzm007]

Where would we be without bad jokes :D
