Cigar mishaps and the like...

[Silound]

Let's see...left a bag of Padron #9's and two Zino Emperor Edition 2010s on the hood of my truck and took off. Never saw them again. Lost a nice Xikar cutter too.

Ruined more than my fair share of clothing with losing the ash...now I tap it off more regularly.

Washed a few cigars in cargo shorts.

Lost a bag under the seat of my truck. Fast forward a year later and I found them...shredded as they were by the seat rails.

Gave someone a nice cigar and watched them smoke an inch and throw it out.

Watched that same person pick the leftover up later and relight it.

Took a puff to be polite.

Fell asleep with a smoke in my hand and burned my leg about an inch from the family jewels.

Yeah I'm not too bright.

RAGE. This has happened to me a lot. Here's how it normally goes down: my roommate has a party or a barbecue, he gets 7 or 8 beers in him and wants a cigar. He keeps a few singles in my humi so we both go up to the room to grab one. Somehow we acquire leeches along the way. I want to stress this--I am more than willing to share. If we're having a party at the house I think it's part of my job to be gracious, but really it's more than obligation, it's just good character to share.

And for some reason these people always end up not realizing that a cigar lasts much longer than a cigarette. And I think they also don't realize that we're not smoking swishers--these aren't fifty cents apiece!

Sounds like it might be worth it to have some inexpensive (but decent), short cigars on hand for these occasions...

I buy Robusto bundles at my B&M for that exact same reason. That and they are my daily smokes.

Anyways, beginner cigar smokers aren't going to tell the difference in nuances that would make a 5 dollar cigar a 20 dollar cigar. Finally, they're unbanded, so I don't have to worry about them thinking how much it cost (not much).

Reasons I always keep a fully stocked and unlocked MOOCH humidor on my desk. I always say "Take whatever you want" and walk the humidor into an open area. LOL


So far for me the biggest mishap is putting the wrong end in my mouth.

I always say you have been smoking(and drinking) long enough if you haven't done that at least once!

More of a gripe or pet peeve than a "mishap".
