a hankering for a stanky stogie

**brotherdew** · 12-17-2011, 03:09 PM

Am I the only smoker who enjoys a good old fashioned stanky stogie from time to time.
I'm not talking about a full bodied cigar, I'm talking about a cheap cigar that's just a step above a Phillie Blunt.
I recently purchased just such a cigar while browsing at a local cigar shop. It was poorly wrapped and packed and to be honest with you I bought it because I felt sorry for it sitting all alone in the box.
I didn't waste the time to let it age, because I knew it needed to be put out of it's misery.
It was strong and full of smoke and it burned quickly. I have to admit that I enjoyed it tremendously.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to smoke one every day, but it was nice to just enjoy a cigar because it needed to be smoked.
Am I crazy or are there other generous souls out there who are willing to give a bad cigar an honorable end from time to time?

I would rather staple my balls to a burning log.

imho

Life is too short to smoke cheap cigars.

Welcome from Ottawa, Canada, where repacked blunts are a December tradition.

Hi from Alberta, Canada.

If you're on a limited budget may I recommend you do a Newbie Sampler with one of the members who've signed up to do them.

I've done a couple and they are well worth your while. You only pay what you can afford and the person at the other end will give you your money's worth of decent cigars. If you keep a list of what you've tried and send it along they can avoid sending you something you've already tried.

It's a great, inexpensive, way to try some various cigars you might not otherwise try.

Just FYI, I've smoked a few crappy (to me) cigars but to be honest I tend to agree with the philosophy, "Life's too short to smoke crappy cigars"
