The Worst Ever

[8-5-8]

secondly iw as at a party so fucken EVRYONE wanted a puff, so by the time i got it back it was half gone to hot and the mouth pieces was complty soggy from peopel who dont know how to properly puff a cigar.

Dude... I wouldn't let someone puff on my $7 cigar, much less a $70 one. Honestly, I think it's bad form (and unsanitary) of someone to ask for a puff on a cigar you're smoking. Now don't get me wrong, I'm generous enough to hand out a stick or two if someone wants to join me for a smoke, but I'd be real quick to tell them to off if they ask me for a puff on mine like it's a ghetto blunt or something.

Agreed, many of my friends are stuck in this bad habit from smoking crappy gas station flavoureds. I brought a few sticks out to MNF at the bar last night and had one for myself and 2 others accepted one, but they both got passed around to pretty much everyone at our table. Grossed me out. One guy asked to try mine (an Oliva O Bold Maduro mmmmm) and I told him flat out to go to hell. He's a good buddy though so it was all good.

Just give them a shotgun hit

I'm going to have to profess my ignorance and ask what the bloody 'eck you are talking about?

[8-5-8]

a shotgun is where you put the lit end in your mouth and blow through it like a straw... not that I've ever done that before...

[thepyrofish]

I've seen that done with a cigarette before, but I'd be deathly afraid of putting the lit end of a cigar in my mouth, they tend to be somewhat larger.

Since I'm new to cigars, I haven't really had a 'bad experience' (*knocks on wood*)...let me just tell you about this instead:


I ordered my FIRST humidor, cigar cutter, sampler, last Friday night.


Of course this is like Christmas for me (given the circumstances) and I'm eagerly awaiting it. My tracking number PROMPTLY comes in on Monday from the company and the expected ship date is TODAY, September 13th.

I'm at my girlfriend's house last night (she's about 20 miles away) and realize that I forgot to put a note on the door to let UPS know to leave the package on the door. So I get up eaaaarly in the morning, sit in traffic, get to my house, put the note on the door and get to work with a minute to spare.

There I am clicking on my order to see that it's 'OUT FOR DELIVERY' at 5:00am this morning...yay! I get home from work, and to my surprise, NO PACKAGE. I call UPS (around 7:00pm) to see if there's a problem, she states there isn't and it's guaranteed to arrive tonight (she says the driver has a long route and it may get there later).

It is now 8:30pm and no package...*sigh* I'm pretty bummed right now....I doubt it'll get here tonight. I'll hope for the best that it didn't get lost / damaged...
