3 second rule - what would you do?
 

So I am setting up on the porch with the laptop for my weekly, work from home smoke - (a beautiful Los Blancos Maduro Churchill that I got from a pass on another site), when I mindless set the unlit smoke down to let the dog out, and it proceeds to roll off the counter right into the dog's water bowl cut end in. :(

A quickly grabbed it, gave it a quick rinse and toweled it off.

What's a little dog spit (I had just refilled the bowl)?

It's not like he peed on it right?

What would you do? :confused:

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I've heard somewhere that a dog's mouth is cleaner than our mouths...or butts. It's one or the other.

Don't quote me on that.

Meh, might have burn issues?

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I've heard that many times...but we brush our teeth and don't go licking ourselves. :r

I'd toss the stick..:2

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Meh.... i'd fire it up still

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

When I first started smoking cigars, I had a Nub Connecticut roll off the table outside into the dog dish. I now realize that it was probably the best thing as they are not good.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

You even have to ask?

Smoke it.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Yuck. I don't think I'd try to resucitate that stogie unless it was a really, really valuable and irreplacable cigar:pu

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

It was still fresh water, right??

My own dogs, never would I even think of it.

I have a beagle and a bloodhound. The beagle hates the bloodhound. After he drinks or eats he hikes his leg on what's left in the bowel. The bloodhound will still finish off what's left. :)

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Also, depends on how often you change the water. You could always excise the end if it got soggy with a cutter.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I am already into the second third of it and it is quite tasty, just curious :D

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

:tpd:

What dog lover doesn't get his face slobbed by his/her dog every once in a while?

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

:r

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I'd smoke it unless it had burn or draw issues, but I'd have no problem with it hitting the dog's water bowl.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I'm a pretty big germ freak, but man...if it's a nice smoke and it didn't soak in the bowl...I'd probably get a damp paper towel and wipe it off. Maybe clip a little more off the end.

More importantly though, I'd get a cigar holder or more ashtrays so you have one readily available ;) lol

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I would toss it. It was a Los Blancos, not a Dunhill Cabinetta. :r

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I would have smoked it too. It's not like it fell in a kitty litter box. My dogs will lick my face to greet me when I come home sometimes so maybe my mindset is different.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I know I once dropped a cigar into a drink, and it sucked up the liquid so quick that I couldn't have relit it no matter what. If you are able to relight it, I'd certainly do so.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

What a man does with his own dog is nobody’s business!!!:D

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Being in the dog's bowl wouldn't especially bother me.

Being wet would.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

One of my dogs had half his lower jaw removed due to bone cancer; he has a hard time drinking (lapping up) water from the bowl -- the water just leaks out of the side of his mouth... Consequently, even a fresh bowl of water is quickly tainted after he drinks -- his saliva forms a scum on the top. Doesn't stop the other dog from drinking, but I would think twice about smoking a cigar that had dropped in the scummy water.

If it was a really good stick, or I was desperate I would probably wipe it off and give it a try...

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

:tpd:

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Unless it was an especially expensive stick, toss it.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I'd smoke it without hesitation... and I don't let my dog lick my face. But that has more to do with his dragon breath than any kind of germaphobia.

Wasn't there a whole thread dedicated to wetting cigars? Maybe we should consider the dog bowl dunking as an alternate method. :D

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

How right you are!!

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I'd smoke it, no second thoughts. If you'd puff, puff, pass at a herf, I wouldn't worry about a moment's splashdown in the dog's bowl.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Smoke It! No Problem! We All Do PPP; Right?:D:tu

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Without hesitation, but I've shared ice cream with dogs before.:D

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

smoke it

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I let my dog drink out of my water glass. A little dog spit isn't a worry. Let the cigar dry and go for it.

Now mind you, it is fully aged after that 3 seconds so any longer is a waste of time. I read that some place recently.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Just think of it as a puff puff pass with your dog, enjoy it brother.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Rule of 3 bro, rule of 3.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

All I can think of is from the Simpsons episode at the Duff Factory:
HOMER: Mmm. Bold, refreshing, and something I can't put my finger on.
[Cut to the Red Tick Beer Brewery. Three dogs are swimming around in the beer. A man tastes it.]
MAN: Mmm, needs more dog.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Since you had just refilled the bowl, and I assume you cleaned it before adding more water. I don't think there is a big deal with smoking it. Just cut the soaked end and light it up.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Knowing my luck I'd grab something that looked like the stogie but wasn't.
On the other note , I'm at a fence here, I'd probably grab it if it fell in a dog dish but then I also think what if it fell in a toilet and my mind says hey same thing i find both disgusting and once i think that I realize I'm to monkish to even smoke it out of a dog bowl.
:=:
Glad it tasted good wonder of you got flavor from whatever his mouth tasted when drinking from the bowl

....and don't go licking ourselves....

That's because if we could, we would never leave the damn house!

Smoke it!

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

:tpd: I concur. :ss

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Fire it up and work with it... if it tastes bad, then toss it!

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

If it was someone else's dog, dog bowl... I would have to think about it. But if it landed in MY dogs bowl... and the Cigar can still be smoked... Im smoking it.

The cigar will burn any germs, anyway.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I'm not a germ freak or any bit health conscious so I would definitely lit it up. My cats eat some of my food sometimes (hey it happens they are quick) and I still eat it. I'm not tossing out a steak because a cat licked or took one bite off it. So this to me wouldn't be a big deal. That said my cats are very clean and healthy.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Depends....is anyone watching? ;)

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Smoke it. And just to be extra sanitary wash your mouth our with multiple rinsings of whisky.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Me being a smoker of old nubs, I say smoke the bastard.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

lol, what's wrong with licking ourselves? :D

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Dog spit? Does your dog lick it's butt? How about the neighbor dog's butt?

Do you really want to smoke a cigar that in one way or another fell into dog butt water?

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I'm glad you chose to smoke it. It doesn't seem like a huge deal to me if it landed in a dog dish.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

I would have smoked it... right after I found a new spot for the dog's water bowl.

Re: 3 second rule - what would you do?
 

Either I am smoking it or the dog is! The cigar aint being wasted.
