Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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?

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.

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

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

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?

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

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.

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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.

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

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.

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

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

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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.

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

: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:

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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 10-17-2008 07:24 AM

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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

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.

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

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

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. :)

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

petewho 10-17-2008 11:35 AM

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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 10-17-2008 01:37 PM

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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:

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

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.

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

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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.

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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 10-17-2008 06:15 PM

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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:

Re: Do you guys ever drop your cigar?
 
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.
