Troels Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The first ten cigars or so I had was only punched with a toothpick, at I thought the cap was meant to be the "mouth piece" All the condensed water and tar that came out that little hole could have scared alot of people of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewNR Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 This thread is freakin great. Off the top of my head I can't think of anything too crazy.. Originally when I used to purchase a couple cigars at a time from a local "SmokeLovers" retail chain i used to store them in a take away container, With a peice of sink sponge I'd cut and soak in tap water. I thought I was very clever with my storage solution for my modest couple of stick at a time humidification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munts Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 A funny incident that comes to mind was not that long ago. I was enjoying a smoke while lying on my back in the backyard looking up at the stars waiting for an expected meteor shower. After awhile it started to develop a funky burnt paper taste. I sat up and looked at it to see i had smoked half of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taksan Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I thought about releasing and branding the lewinsky-cigar where ideal humidification depends on the state of your partner.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfj Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 2 stories 1. My first box of CC's were fake Monte #2's.......and they were AWESOME! But that is boring because everyone in this community has smoked fakes in the past. Even Nino. 2. When I was younger I dated a girl who's father was a nice guy but a fall down drunk. I remember going to his house for a cookout with the girl. He got drunk. So did I. And then I lit up an Ashton Cabinet. He approached me and asked if he could have a taste. Yuck! But I was feeling no pain so I said ok and handed him the stick. But he put it in his mouth BACKWARDS and burned his mouth. After screaming in pain, he accused me of doing it on purpose and got in my face. Now, in my younger days I did not back down from anyone. We needed to be separated (or so I was told). That relationship did not last much longer. FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwhatever Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Funny thing I saw at a sketchy cigar lounge. A new enthusiast was smoking till the nub with a toothpick. He was so proud of himself for being a genius until he burned his lips. I tried so hard to keep myself from laughing. As for myself...My first 3 cigars I bought from a local b/m were non Cuban. I didn't have a humidor or a jar so I wrapped them in wet towel napkins... I also tried to charge an empty cedar lined cigar box with wet tea leaves thinking they would "infuse" the box, hence giving the cigars a better flavor... The first real cigar I've smoked wouldn't burn properly cause I was in the wind. Then I brought it back to my apartment and smoked it in the bathroom with the vent on. It felt good for about 10 minutes( I kept thinking "ummmm, this feels gooddd") then the next thing I know I was on the floor. Either it was nicotine overdose or carbon monoxide poisoning; or both.

canadianbeaver Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I still have a box of stray opus X's but they are in an empty Cc box. So I don't know which box they are. A few weeks ago when I was in Miami I did not bring CC's with me this time because I did not want to risk trouble at customs. I went to a cigar store and the NC's were so $$ I bought a box of Ashton VSG Robustos and now I have this stray box . Lastly, I had this box of Punch Coronas that I tried and tried to like. They were just "off". (Did not get them here). This past weekend Tom tried one, confirmed they sucked and we threw the last dozen, box and all, into the fireplace for a decent burial. RIP.

AndrewNR Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 When I first started smoking cigars at 17 and didn't know what way was up in the cigar world, I used to keep the smoked ends of my cigars. Never occured to me i could just keep the wrappers.. Eventually I caved and threw them out due to the smell.. Really wish i could identify what the cubans were with the red bands.. And yes, those are flavoured indonesian cigars.. Dont judge me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo17pip Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 oh boy...I have a handful of Backwoods in my humidor as we speak lol The black ones are good. Havent had then in a long time though. They might not be good for the humidor due to that flavor but if in the pack then i guess its ok. Still good little cigars for the "backwoods" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajgagnon Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I once clipped a Cohiba esplendido in half to share with a cigar smoking buddy... I once did this with a Monte A that was procured in exchange for a bicycle in Cuba. For shame... I didn't know any better. And I once bought a box of Brick House at a tasting. Blech. Too much to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#2 man Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I have so many embarrassing stories... A random guy once recommended a Tatuaje, and when he asked how it was, I told him frankly that it was the worst cigar I've ever had. The guy's name was Pete Johnson. Carlito's godfather gave me a couple of very special Opus. I put it in my back pocket. Then I sat down. I threw up after Litto gave me one of his first LG lancero...actually looking back, there's been a lot of throwing up from cigars when I was trying out NCs. It's not the secret to this svelte body, I swear. You win!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris7 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I put my 3 month old desktop humi in an esky with a 2litre bottle of ice to keep the temp down. I didnt have the humi raised high enough and the coke bottle had split which I was unaware of and when it melted the humi soaked the water right up. Long story short, by the time I got to it the humi was pretty well screwed . Hence me now looking for a small wine cooler. Was pretty gutted.
