Removing cellophane that doesn't have a price tag on it. For some odd reason, it makes me smile every time, cause usually I know I bought it as a box and have more!

What's yours

For me its when I open the seal on a new box. I just get really excited about all of the cigars I have to smoke now. Ahhh.

It's the smell when I open my humidor. That whoosh of air from the seal of the box being opened and then the rush of that cigar aroma is my "cigar smile" moment :)

A perfect cut that results in a good draw and no tabacco bits in my mouth

Blow on the head after you cut it and you won't get any in your mouth :tu

For a newb like me, seeing more than 10 cigars that belong to me. When I bought my box of Cains, I was grinning so hard my cheeks hurt

Dude, I have a LOT of cigars, and when I bought my first box of Cain I felt the same way!

A cigar so good that you smoke it until your fingers burn from the nub.

Or maybe I wrote that backwards, as the phrase as stated is inversely proportional. :r

When I tap out the ash and there's a perfect, glowing cone at the end of my cigar....

LOL, yeah I know, only a couple have been. I was truly looking for the odd things that make you happy about cigars, of course we all get happy when a package arrives.

That and an ash that stays on longer than expected and won't budge with a tap... good stuff there!

When my lighter runs out of fuel just after a perfect light and the cigar doesn't need a touch up.

Idk why.

I like when they put a ribbon on every level in your box of cigars to get the first one out, or turn one of the cigars of every level so that the celly is point upward and easy to grab.
When it's not there, I still smile cuz there's A BOX OF CIGARS IN FRONT OF MY FACE!!!! But the stupid little ribbon makes me happy!

I love sending them, and everytime I get one I have to smile cause someone took the time to think of me.

When the cigars that arive at the house are ordered by your wonderful wife:D




Or not and you get away with sneaking the box in the house





Or you get caught bringing the box in and your wife likes what you ordered

When you're puffin' on a nub that's really small and someone asks you, "You really enjoying it that much? Do you want a roach clip or something?"

But my favorite is, "But you're a pastor, you can't smoke."

To which I respond, "So, can I buy us each a beer to enjoy while we sit and discuss this misconception?"

Peace of the Lord be with you.

After reading them all, and only til then, I came up with mine. Our old blind dog that used to
smell termites for a living, now is only a specialist at detecting a potato chip bag opening
somewhere. When that old blind dog barks, I know the mailman is coming, and when I
count the days right, I usually hear them call my name up front.

There is also one about how I used to freak out about being without a cutter somewhere, in
the house, at work, in the car. Like reading glasses. Well now I smoke havanas and I can just
pinch a divot out of the cap and it smokes fine without a cut. Can't do that with lots of NC cigars.

It was so cool yesterday when my wife called me at work before she left work: "You just got a box delivered from Swiss Post" and the box arrived about a week before I was expecting it :D

Yeah, I love that too! It says that these are special enough to warrant that kind of attention to detail.

I'm looking forward to that little thrill, in the "not too distant future"! :tu

I'm impressed, maybe you should market those finger nails...$1 a clip.

Cabinets of cigars that come the way God intended them: naked!


Also, lighting expensive cigars with cheap lighters and vice versa (lighting a JLP with a Dupont or a Dunhill with a Bic always makes me smile).
