The power of a cigar.

deaster25 · 02-18-2012, 01:34 PM

A couple of weeks ago I had went to a bon fire at a friends house and I took a few sticks with me to smoke with one of my friends that I knew liked cigars, well there was one guy there smoking a black n mild, so I asked the guy if he smokes cigars often and he said every once in a while so I told him that I would let him smoke a real cigar. I threw his black n mild in the fire and lit up a Surrogates Bone Crusher that I got from EricF in the NST, thanks for that by the way Eric. Well,+ the guy took the first puff and started almost choking because he was coughing so much, I said don't inhale it man, he relied I didn't, he took another and same thing, his reply was what the frick is that man? I just said that is a real cigar and kind of a strong one, he then called me mean and gave me the cigar back. After that I gave him a Tat Havana IV and he loved it and so did about 4 other guys there that had never smoked a cigar before. I also passed out a few Olivas that I had. The cigars were a hit and now one of my friends is ready to buy a humidor, even some girls there are wanting me to give them some cigars. It's great to see how I could get to know some people I have never met before just by sharing some great smokes with them.

Dude, just because we may not like someone else's tastes doesn't mean we have the right to destroy their property.

I gave him a cigar to replace it, he didn't mind so no need to get all worked up about it.

That's not the point. How do you know the cigar he was smoking wasn't something of greater (sentimental) value. A gift from a family member perhaps. A smoke from a "brother" in the service who may have paid the ultimate price?

A few years ago, a good friend of mine and member of this board was smoking a VR Famosos at a herf when someone came up to him, snatched the cigar, threw it to the ground and smashed it underfoot saying "what are you smoking that crap for?" What that person didn't realize is that the cigar was a vintage, original release Famosos given to him by a close friend. Irreplaceable.

Things are not always what they seem.
