Who says cigars are 100% tobacco? - Page 2

I found such fibers in a cigar I bought at the convenience store. It sucked really bad. However, I have not found any fibers in mine since then.

I have not found anything, however I remember seeing a thread where w nail was in the cigar.

shilala · 10-17-2010, 09:23 AM

I had a big long thick black hair in one of my cigars once. I've had lots of sticks in them, or rock hard stems and leave parts.
It's gonna happen. Doesn't bother me at all.

Holy cow this thread is freaking me out. Opening up cigars is sounding a lot like opening up sharks, you don't know what weird crap you will find.

Bill86 · 10-17-2010, 01:30 PM

This doesn't bother me, you guys all eat out at restaurants right? I'll stop there. Though I would prefer to never find anything in my cigars, it's not going to be a big deal if I do.

If it doesn't affect the taste of the cigar I'm fine with it. I would just hate to dismiss a cigar as one I didn't enjoy because there was burning hair in it :-/

This thread is about as gross as reading about stuff they put in hamburger in the meat plants. Don't wanna know and don't wanna find it myself.

BTcigars · 10-17-2010, 07:10 PM

I dont have a problem knowing that there are tobacco beetle eggs in the cigars I smoke, I just have a hard time knowing that hair and gum, something not natural, has made itis way in.

Heh, guess I shouldn't tell you about the band-aid, paperclip, plastic shavings, a nail and other stuff a friend of mine in the cigar sales business has found/seen in premium cigars....

BTcigars · 10-17-2010, 07:27 PM

Permission to dry heave, Sir!?

T.G · 10-17-2010, 07:30 PM

PS: It was a used band-aid.

Anyone who is afraid to smoke your suspicious, unclean cigars send them to me. Shoot after working in fast food I've realized nothing is ever clean.

That's why I've never worked or will work in fast food.

Found twigs in my macanudo today. Still smoked it...had to dissect it 80% through though.

That sucks, though not all that surprising. Someone mentioned that running a hair through random cigarettes in a pack was a great stop smoking aid. Apparently they taste so bad that the fear of getting that random stick keeps you from smoking. After hearing that I always figured I'd know if there was a hair in my cigar...perhaps not.

OHRD · 10-18-2010, 07:37 AM

Twice in one day Chris!? Crazy luck! I've never found anything foreign...of course I never pay attention, but I will now.

10-18-2010, 07:54 AM

I have never found anything that didn't burn and never looked that closely.
I do have a whole box of cut open RyJs that a customs agent at an airport found on me. I think I will look through it and see.

Ya, this thread looks exactly like the ribbons they use to tie hands of tobacco together and also the ones they use to string them up in the curing barns.

I've come to terms with cigars being pretty dirty since the tobacco is never washed and it touches lots of hands. I think it is just part of the territory.
