3 second rule - what would you do?

[Bunker]

So I am setting up on the porch with the laptop for my weekly, work from home smoke - (a beautiful Los Blancos Maduro Churchill that I got from a pass on another site), when I mindless set the unlit smoke down to let the dog out, and it proceeds to roll off the counter right into the dog's water bowl cut end in. :(

A quickly grabbed it, gave it a quick rinse and toweled it off.

What's a little dog spit (I had just refilled the bowl)?

It's not like he peed on it right?

What would you do? :confused:

[Emjaysmash]

I've heard somewhere that a dog's mouth is cleaner than our mouths...or butts. It's one or the other.

Don't quote me on that.

Meh, might have burn issues?

I've heard that many times...but we brush our teeth and don't go licking ourselves. :r

I'd toss the stick..:2

[Sled Dog]

Meh.... i'd fire it up still

[elderboy02]

When I first started smoking cigars, I had a Nub Connecticut roll off the table outside into the dog dish. I now realize that it was probably the best thing as they are not good.

[68TriShield]

You even have to ask?

Smoke it.

[akumushi]

Yuck. I don't think I'd try to resucitate that stogie unless it was a really, really valuable and irreplacable cigar:pu

[Bluetick]

It was still fresh water, right??

My own dogs, never would I even think of it.

I have a beagle and a bloodhound. The beagle hates the bloodhound. After he drinks or eats he hikes his leg on what's left in the bowel. The bloodhound will still finish off what's left. :)

[akumushi]

Also, depends on how often you change the water. You could always excise the end if it got soggy with a cutter.

[Bunker]

I am already into the second third of it and it is quite tasty, just curious :D

[Blueface]

:tpd:

What dog lover doesn't get his face slobbed by his/her dog every once in a while?

[Emjaysmash]

[massphatness]

I'd smoke it unless it had burn or draw issues, but I'd have no problem with it hitting the dog's water bowl.

[Brutus2600]

I'm a pretty big germ freak, but man...if it's a nice smoke and it didn't soak in the bowl...I'd probably get a damp paper towel and wipe it off. Maybe clip a little more off the end.

More importantly though, I'd get a cigar holder or more ashtrays so you have one readily available ;) lol

[Darrell]

I would toss it. It was a Los Blancos, not a Dunhill Cabinetta. :r

[neoflex]

I would have smoked it too. It's not like it fell in a kitty litter box. My dogs will lick my face to greet me when I come home sometimes so maybe my mindset is different.

[hotreds]

I know I once dropped a cigar into a drink, and it sucked up the liquid so quick that I couldn't have relit it no matter what. If you are able to relight it, I'd certainly do so.

What a man does with his own dog is nobody’s business!!!:D

[Ashcan Bill]

Being in the dog's bowl wouldn't especially bother me.

Being wet would.

[CigarNut]

One of my dogs had half his lower jaw removed due to bone cancer; he has a hard time drinking (lapping up) water from the bowl -- the water just leaks out of the side of his mouth... Consequently, even a fresh bowl of water is quickly tainted after he drinks -- his saliva forms a scum on the top. Doesn't stop the other dog from drinking, but I would think twice about smoking a cigar that had dropped in the scummy water.

If it was a really good stick, or I was desperate I would probably wipe it off and give it a try...

[auburnfan1980]

Yuck. I don't think I'd try to resucitate that stogie unless it was a really, really valuable and irreplacable cigar:pu

:tpd:

[Cattani]

Unless it was an especially expensive stick, toss it.

[GKitty]

I'd smoke it without hesitation... and I don't let my dog lick my face. But that has more to do with his dragon breath than any kind of germaphobia.

Wasn't there a whole thread dedicated to wetting cigars? Maybe we should consider the dog bowl dunking as an alternate method. :D

[CigarNut]

...Wasn't there a whole thread dedicated to wetting cigars? Maybe we should consider the dog bowl dunking as an alternate method. :DHow right you are!!

[jkstewart1]

I'd smoke it, no second thoughts. If you'd puff, puff, pass at a herf, I wouldn't worry about a moment's splashdown in the dog's bowl.

[longknocker]

Smoke It! No Problem! We All Do PPP; Right?:D:tu

[Whynot]

Without hesitation, but I've shared ice cream with dogs before.:D

[Pat1075]

smoke it

[markem]

I let my dog drink out of my water glass. A little dog spit isn't a worry. Let the cigar dry and go for it.

Now mind you, it is fully aged after that 3 seconds so any longer is a waste of time. I read that some place recently.

[Ogre]

Just think of it as a puff puff pass with your dog, enjoy it brother.

[Adriftpanda]

Rule of 3 bro, rule of 3.

[mikethegoalie32]

All I can think of is from the Simpsons episode at the Duff Factory:
HOMER: Mmm. Bold, refreshing, and something I can't put my finger on.
[Cut to the Red Tick Beer Brewery. Three dogs are swimming around in the beer. A man tastes it.]
MAN: Mmm, needs more dog.

[theoneandonly]

Since you had just refilled the bowl, and I assume you cleaned it before adding more water. I don't think there is a big deal with smoking it. Just cut the soaked end and light it up.

[CoreyD]

I would have smoked it too. It's not like it fell in a kitty litter box. My dogs will lick my face to greet me when I come home sometimes so maybe my mindset is different.
Knowing my luck I'd grab something that looked like the stogie but wasn't.
On the other note , I'm at a fence here, I'd probably grab it if it fell in a dog dish but then I also think what if it fell in a toilet and my mind says hey same thing i find both disgusting and once i think that I realize I'm to monkish to even smoke it out of a dog bowl.
:=:
Glad it tasted good wonder of you got flavor from whatever his mouth tasted when drinking from the bowl

....and don't go licking ourselves....

That's because if we could, we would never leave the damn house!

Smoke it!

[CasaDooley]

You even have to ask?

Smoke it.

:tpd: I concur. :ss

[ylo2na]

Fire it up and work with it... if it tastes bad, then toss it!

[CRIMPS]

If it was someone else's dog, dog bowl... I would have to think about it. But if it landed in MY dogs bowl... and the Cigar can still be smoked... Im smoking it.

The cigar will burn any germs, anyway.

[Bill86]

I'm not a germ freak or any bit health conscious so I would definitely lit it up. My cats eat some of my food sometimes (hey it happens they are quick) and I still eat it. I'm not tossing out a steak because a cat licked or took one bite off it. So this to me wouldn't be a big deal. That said my cats are very clean and healthy.

[ucla695]

Depends....is anyone watching? ;)

[Commander Quan]

Smoke it. And just to be extra sanitary wash your mouth our with multiple rinsings of whisky.

[maninblack]

Me being a smoker of old nubs, I say smoke the bastard.

[nick2021]

I've heard that many times...but we brush our teeth and don't go licking ourselves. :r

I'd toss the stick..:2

lol, what's wrong with licking ourselves? :D

[dwoodward]

Dog spit? Does your dog lick it's butt? How about the neighbor dog's butt?

Do you really want to smoke a cigar that in one way or another fell into dog butt water?

[KillerCelt]

I'm glad you chose to smoke it. It doesn't seem like a huge deal to me if it landed in a dog dish.

[ATobin]

I would have smoked it... right after I found a new spot for the dog's water bowl.

[mikethegoalie32]

Either I am smoking it or the dog is! The cigar aint being wasted.
