Since shub opened the floor for silly noob questions I think I'll ask one.

Anyone able to blow smoke rings? I watched fellowship of the ring yesterday before I had a cigar myself and decided to try it. dorky thing to do i know but c'mon who hasn't tried it at least once or thought about it. problem is it is damn hard now i want to do it just so I don't fail.

Just 'cause Gandalf makes it look cool doesn't mean you're going to be able to get away with it.

oh and what are FOG's and BOTL's?

FOG = Friendly Older Gentleman

BOTL = Brother Of The Leaf, a mensch, stand-up guy, etc.

what's filler tobacco? why do some cigars advertise they have a lot?

[bigpoppapuff]

there is a binder....filler goes into the binder.....long fill or mixed or chopped..ugh.....wrapper goes around the binder which holds the filler.....all cigars have filler...or it isn't a cigar.....

Hey I'm no Gandalf but I am at least as cool as Bilbo.

Thanks for the clarification on the acronyms.

If you had Mithril armor, you might be as cool as Bilbo...

Basically, filler is the inside of a cigar. Almost all premium cigars are "long filler", which means the pieces are tobacco that make up the body of the cigar are, duh, long. Machine made cigars use short filler, which is similar to the inside of a cigarette.

You haven't been paying attention have you?

[TheSilentChamber]

You mean to tell me a cigarette isnt just a small cigar?

I once asked someone if they smoked cigars and their reply- "I smoke cigarettes, same exact thing only smaller."

I had a dream the other night that I was bumming cigarettes off a friend of mine and smoking them like cigars. It was really weird...
