A couple of weeks ago I had went to a bon fire at a friends house and I took a few sticks with me to smoke with one of my friends that I knew liked cigars, well there was one guy there smoking a black n mild, so I asked the guy if he smokes cigars often and he said every once in a while so I told him that I would let him smoke a real cigar. I threw his black n mild in the fire and lit up a Surrogates Bone Crusher that I got from EricF in the NST, thanks for that by the way Eric. Well,+ the guy took the first puff and started almost choking because he was coughing so much, I said don't inhale it man, he relied I didn't, he took another and same thing, his reply was what the frick is that man? I just said that is a real cigar and kind of a strong one, he then called me mean and gave me the cigar back. After that I gave him a Tat Havana IV and he loved it and so did about 4 other guys there that had never smoked a cigar before. I also passed out a few Olivas that I had. The cigars were a hit and now one of my friends is ready to buy a humidor, even some girls there are wanting me to give them some cigars. It's great to see how I could get to know some people I have never met before just by sharing some great smokes with them.

Nice job Dave, but yeah a bone crusher is very strong cigar for a novice...heh, oh well at least he and others liked the TAT, that's a great sign that they have hope.

Nice. I am working on ruining a few people on cigars as well. Once you get a taste of something decent it is really hard to go back( as we all know)!

Dude, just because we may not like someone else's tastes doesn't mean we have the right to destroy their property. :2

Awesome job spreading the joy of cigar smoking!!! If that guy stays with it then one day he may grow to really appreciate that bone crusher! I just had my first one this past weekend and totally loved it!

Great story! :tu

Echoing the choice of the cigar to start him off with...

But, glad he ended up enjoying something else.

Digs has smoked 4 of those Havana VI last week, he is loving them right now.
I smoked one last week that he gave me, and enjoyed it. It would be a nice mellow stick to start out with. The Skull Crusher and Bone Breakers are great sticks but I guess too strong, I couldn't imagine a cigar making you cough without inhaling some though?
Well at least you found somthing they could all enjoy.

Talk about trial by fire with that Surrogate (pun intended!). Those are some great smokes! Glad it turned out well for the guy.

I gave him a cigar to replace it, he didn't mind so no need to get all worked up about it.

That's not the point. How do you know the cigar he was smoking wasn't something of greater (sentimental) value. A gift from a family member perhaps. A smoke from a "brother" in the service who may have paid the ultimate price?

A few years ago, a good friend of mine and member of this board was smoking a VR Famosos at a herf when someone came up to him, snatched the cigar, threw it to the ground and smashed it underfoot saying "what are you smoking that crap for?" What that person didn't realize is that the cigar was a vintage, original release Famosos given to him by a close friend. Irreplaceable.

Things are not always what they seem.

You guys are over thinking this way too much, I was there, you were not. The guy didn't want the black n mild anymore, he handed it to me and I didn't want it so I threw it in the fire, big ****ing deal.

Not so much us over thinking as maybe you under explaining. The way you tell the story now paints a very different picture. Maybe that is why folks responded the way they did. Makes much more sense now.

So I guess it's not a big ****ing deal, eh?

Chose not to explain the tossing of the cigar in great detail, I don't think that it would have helped to get the intended message across.
