Spontaneous..... and ongoing combustion.

I lit a ERDM Tainos on Sunday afternoon while working away. I certainly may not have been paying the closest of attention but I was taken back by the way it "flamed" to life......and kept going and going for well over a minute as if I had lit a piece of paper

The Tainos burn settled down but the wrapper was charred to near the band. I sadly tossed it and grabbed another....no such problem.

I have never had that happen before to anywhere near this extent...a cigar on fire for over a minute

Did you thoroughly check the construction of said cigar prior to taking the cap off with your fingernails and lighting it? And had you previously and generously poured any specific spirit prior to setting down to work?

Just sayin'

Felt a tad loose but I have had plenty worse......and I hadn't started drinking yet!

Was just thinking you may have had a high OP rum residue on your hands before man handling the cigar

That sucks about the cigar. When i red the thread title i thought it was going to be a " i got kicked out of another hotel" story.

Ahah! Thought the same thing!

I've had one or two that flamed at the foot for a 20-30 seconds perhaps but didn't consume the wrapper to any degree. All the way to the band? That is just strange to me.....

Don't tell me, let me guess . . . this set off the fire alarm and you are now evicted from a sixth hotel??

All I can find myself thinking is, "WHERE WERE YOU ABLE TO FIND A ERDM TAINOS!!!!" I'd figured they were practically discontinued, they're so impossible to find.

The man has a warehouse full of cigars!

I had that happen to my eyebrows years ago knocking back shots out at the pool on A hot summer morning!

Thank goodness the shelf life on those pesky cigar bombs isn't very long or that puppy could've taken your head off!!

Gag cigar from Ken. Don't you know when you've been punk'd?

Oops double post

… the lighter fluid goes into the lighter mate, not the foot of the cigar! It is lighter fluid, not light(ing) fluid! Just an FYI…

Osbornes… got'a lov'em, but you can't take them outta' the bush! -LOL

On a more serious note, I have heard smokeable cigar bands on some NCs, made with tobacco, burn about the way your wrapper did. I wonder how these smokable bands are treated, whether they are made like paper using tobacco fiber through a complex process or are just treated pieces of a leaf... Anything is possible as cigars are crafted products with only partial quality control...
