Careful with those cigars...

[Footbag]

Pulled a Juan Lopez out of my humidor last night and clipped it. Went to touch it to my lips and it slipped out of my mouth. Reached down to grab it and it got stuck between my belt and arm. Next thing I know, the cigar is broken in half. Nothing I'm gonna do to fix this one.
Threw it in the trash, and fortunately had another one to light up. This is the first time this happened to me in years. Moral of the story, careful with those cigars.

I hate moments like that... I dropped one in the toilet once. It was only a Padron X000 but still, I was heartbroken.





...the relight was a *****.

Never dropped a smoke but dropped ash on a new $50 camp shirt...burned a hole in it.

Are you sure you fished out the right "cigar?"

Dropped a lit cigar while driving once and it burned a hole in my shirt. I had to go back to the office and MacGyver my shirt closed with a stapler so my washboad stomach didn't distract the female coworkers.

Well, come to think of it the flavor profile changed dramatically post-submersion... you wouldn't be suggesting? ... no. Impossible.

Whatever, finished with a nice hint of spice and a definite kick of barnyard flavor.

I wish I could blame it on booze. But it was pure negligence on my part.

Throwing it in the trash was hard. I kept trying to think of a way to salvage it. I was going to take the remaining 2 inches and light it, but I didn't want to deal with an unraveling cigar or relight another smoke in 10 minutes.

Reminds me of a post I made some time back but bears another repeat:

Last time I dropped a cigar was about 3 years ago and I have not dropped one since. Here's the story. I am in my local B&M where I was a member for about 4 years in Framingham, Ma. A few of us are in our leather chairs and sofas watching the game and after having our lunch of pizza, chinese food, yes we always had our food brought in, I drank enough to have to excuse myself to the bathroom. I had been smoking a nice Opus X at the time and was into this cigar only about 1/3 and excused myself to go do Gods work. I'm in there doing his work with the cigar in my left hand and breathing a nice sigh of relief looking upward and I suddenly realize that something is amiss. I feel and hear this hissing sound like you hear when something is being extinguished and I got that really really sick feeling and look down and notice that my cigar is not leaning outside of the line of fire but rather in direct line of a full bladder attack. My mind goes into overdrive thinking that I can save this marvelous cigar when in fact my heart knew there is no such animal. Making things worse was the production I put on when I tell everyone in the room what my smoke of the day was going to be. I thought I'd be able to sneak back into the lounge without anyone noticing that my beloved cigar was in essence, pissed off literally, and here I am sans cigar. The questions came fast and furious from the lounge, "hey, where is that great Opus cigar of yours, did you drop it in the can?" I wish,,,,after more and more grilling from the members I finally had to tell them. I swear you could hear the laughter from downtown Boston and from then on I am ALWAYS aware of where my cigar is at any time. I'm thinking I learned a very valuable and expensive lesson.

by the second or third scotch I am usually dropping my cigars on the deck more than I am holding them! luckily I installed padding for just such occasions and have not had a fatality...WHEW! (okay, the last part was a lie, but as I read this I am now pricing out gym mats online to prevent the death of any innocent sticks due to my drunken negligence.)

That's good stuff right there. Sorry you ruined such a nice cigar, but doubtful you'll be forgetting it anytime soon, so at least it was memorable.

I saw someone drop a cigar a few times and still tried to salvage it at a herf. It was not a pretty sight.

Had a Alec Bradley Tempus torp in my chest pocket and getting out of my car I bumped against my car door just enough to hear a heartbreaking "crack" the wrapper cracked too bad to smoke it
