Careful with those cigars...

[GhostRyder]

I hate moments like that... I dropped one in the toilet once. It was only a Padron X000 but still, I was heartbroken.





...the relight was a *****.

Never dropped a smoke but dropped ash on a new $50 camp shirt...burned a hole in it.

Are you sure you fished out the right "cigar?"

Dropped a lit cigar while driving once and it burned a hole in my shirt. I had to go back to the office and MacGyver my shirt closed with a stapler so my washboad stomach didn't distract the female coworkers.

Well, come to think of it the flavor profile changed dramatically post-submersion... you wouldn't be suggesting? ... no. Impossible.

Whatever, finished with a nice hint of spice and a definite kick of barnyard flavor.

I wish I could blame it on booze. But it was pure negligence on my part.

Throwing it in the trash was hard. I kept trying to think of a way to salvage it. I was going to take the remaining 2 inches and light it, but I didn't want to deal with an unraveling cigar or relight another smoke in 10 minutes.

Reminds me of a post I made some time back but bears another repeat:

Last time I dropped a cigar was about 3 years ago and I have not dropped one since. Here's the story. I am in my local B&M where I was a member for about 4 years in Framingham, Ma. A few of us are in our leather chairs and sofas watching the game and after having our lunch of pizza, chinese food, yes we always had our food brought in, I drank enough to have to excuse myself to the bathroom. I had been smoking a nice Opus X at the time and was into this cigar only about 1/3 and excused myself to go do Gods work. I'm in there doing his work with the cigar in my left hand and breathing a nice sigh of relief looking upward and I suddenly realize that something is amiss. I feel and hear this hissing sound like you hear when something is being extinguished and I got that really really sick feeling and look down and notice that my cigar is not leaning outside of the line of fire but rather in direct line of a full bladder attack. My mind goes into overdrive thinking that I can save this marvelous cigar when in fact my heart knew there is no such animal. Making things worse was the production I put on when I tell everyone in the room what my smoke of the day was going to be. I thought I'd be able to sneak back into the lounge without anyone noticing that my beloved cigar was in essence, pissed off literally, and here I am sans cigar. The questions came fast and furious from the lounge, "hey, where is that great Opus cigar of yours, did you drop it in the can?" I wish,,,,after more and more grilling from the members I finally had to tell them. I swear you could hear the laughter from downtown Boston and from then on I am ALWAYS aware of where my cigar is at any time. I'm thinking I learned a very valuable and expensive lesson.

by the second or third scotch I am usually dropping my cigars on the deck more than I am holding them! luckily I installed padding for just such occasions and have not had a fatality...WHEW! (okay, the last part was a lie, but as I read this I am now pricing out gym mats online to prevent the death of any innocent sticks due to my drunken negligence.)

That's good stuff right there. Sorry you ruined such a nice cigar, but doubtful you'll be forgetting it anytime soon, so at least it was memorable.
