Why!? Why!? Why!?

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Geepers! BIG smoke. I don't know about "egg" but if there were two of them together it'd remind me of what I saw swinging off the tow hitch of a truck the other day! :r

Hope you survive it! :tu

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Thats about as far as I got past mine last night! Wont do that again:2

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

I am not the one smoking this! ;) My friend and fellow board member phatmix12 wanted to tame the beast!

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

had one and... :confused: then :pu then :c then :sad then sure enough :hn ... yeah thats about right on the 20bucks wasted at the B&M for something he recommended...

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Your not suppose to smoke it! You nurture it and wait a month and it will give birth to a beautiful Liga Privada No.9! Don't smoke it though! Find it a mate to create some more eggs with and you will have a Liga Privada farm in no time!

Haha. What came first, the cigar or the egg?

From what I hear these aren't too great, it's more of a novelty. I forget who makes the 18" cigar but add that to your "to-try" list.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Another one!? :eek:

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

:r :r Nice!

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Guys guys. I'm still in progress with this thing and so far haven't gotten to the middle after an hour smoking. Not too bad even on a stomach full of rum.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Is it 110 ring gauge? Must take an hour for an inch when its that thick.

I tried thinking of some good challenge sticks a while back. I think the best would be a La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero A. 9"x52 and an extremely potent cigar. Deadly. I've heard people say the Chiselito was too much for them to handle.

I think the Puros Indios Cheiftan takes the cake though.

When you see the pic your like "oh thats not bad doesn't seem that thick". When you realize its 18" the size of the ring gauge start to hit you. Its 66 ring gauge.

BARF!

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

They are smoking via candle light. How bromantic! Haha.

Just looking at those pics makes me feel sick.

Looking forward to seeing how this ends.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Further than I got with the natural version last summer. :pu :pu

Is there a more classic movie?

My neighbors 10 and 12 never saw A Christmas Story until this past Christmas... And they said it was boring! WHAT!?

Re: Disaster in progress...

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Victory! :tu

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Time? Based on the time the first picture was posted it has been 3 hours. However it seems you were quite a bit into it by the first pic.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

LOL.. i made it guys -its over..took from 7:30 to 10:30 with a half hour dinner break..now time to light up another bad boy and finish the rest of this bottle......

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

WOW!!!! 3 hours to smoke that thing. Hope that you aren't feeling sick.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

nope not sick at all.. wasnt a bad cigar but wouldnt spend $18 on some thing like this again..alright maduro taste --took out some time to get smoke out of it but after some attacks from the egg, i showed it who carries the real huevos by taking it to the end.....lol

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

You are a titan... Any chance you could take that Puros Indios Chieftan? Not on is it freakishly large its a Puros Indios! Guaranteed to taste like cardboard! Yummy!

18"x66.

You game?

I think some of our members could contribute a prize if you could tackle the beast.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

^^^ im up for a challenge..ive had puro indios before but never the chieftan..ill see if i can get one for this weekend and post it up like this egg...

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

i just found one for $22--anybody know of a cheaper place for this bad boy....im leaning towards the maduro..looks like it will take some time and intimidating.lol

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

I'm down to contribute if he's victorious to the Beast!

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

I still think Jonathan should do a Liga Privada EGG as a marketing gimmick, of course.

(Seriously, this would make a great event cigar.)

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

any more contributions to a prize?? lol --i guess the cheapest ive found was $21.95--ima be placing my order and hold you guys for this if i pass out --lol

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

HaHaHaHa!:r

It really would! Probably be a LOT better tasting....

YOu guys ever saw the DE Medusa?

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

looks intimidating -18x 66- i thnk ill need a full bottle for this bad boy...

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

I'll donate a fiver of non-ginormous smokes after you tame the Beast.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

LOL--alright alright--prize is lookin good..

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Word of advise?

You do need a full bottle. Of Soda. Sugar has a counter active effective to nicotine. I prefer A&W Root Beer /w Aged Vanilla.

If I had to guess though I would say that cigar would take at least 10 hours. Though Puros Indios seem to be a milder cigar, you would think the sheer length of the cigar would make it unbearable.

Though it may not typically be the best compliment to the cigar, if I had a choice of beverage it would be ginger-ale. Sugar to counter act nicotine, ginger to sooth nausea.

I would love to witness this event.

If you can finish this sucker without re-lighting then I will contribute a 5er.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

May need some touch ups and re-lights if it goes out. I wouldn't penalize him on that. But letting it die and coming back to it an hour or so later is a different story.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

My thoughts exactly. Will be like a boxing match. Need a referee to count him out. A video of this event would be pretty entertaining. Short updates every 10-15 minutes.

I'm just curious as to how someone could possibly tackle that monster without puking their brains out. Specially when it tastes like garbage.

May the force be with you.

P.S.
If you can tackle this, contact George Rico. I believe he owns a cigar you may be interested in.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

This bad boy seems to need hours to fully end so I would need some food breaks obviously not an hour but maybe like 30 mins or something. Which might need some relighting especially since Indios aren't the best in keeping a full light. The order is in and hopefully I receive this cigar by the weekend so I make a full day event of this thing. Video might be hard but pics will def be taken for you guys to see proof that I took it till the end. Maybe I should make up a show like man vs cigars. Lol

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

I'll keep you guys posted when I receive the baton stick and when the challenge will take place. Lol.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

I wonder if drew estate has some shirts for ppl that conquer the egg?? Cause I would want one.

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

Just man up and smoke while you eat, Luis. ;)

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

^^living in miami is hot and sweating while eating is not good... even with fans outside in the patio doesnt help...i thinking im man enough to actually try to smoke this log...lol

Re: Disaster in progress...
 

You didn't really buy this yet, right?
