Cigar pasing stones... WTF???

07-02-2009, 10:26 AM

ok, I have never seen this before, so I thought I should post it here..
I decided to smoke a cigar that I was sent for my bday, it turned out to be plugged and burned crooked so I decide to correct it by cutting a part of it off and relighting it...

I cut it and feel my cutter hitting something hard, I open the cigar up and a stone falls out...

the pics:

messed my cutter up pretty bad unfortunately, but I have a backup, this really fits the rest of my day/week/month perfectly

I have heard of stones in cigars but no one that large.

Wow! How could that not have been put there on purpose! Do you think it was just a gag from the roller? Maybe pissed off that day?

I have no idea, but I hope to never encounter something like this again, this can mess up your day (and your swiss army knife cutter)

TanithT · 07-02-2009, 10:37 AM

Holy chit. Was that one of the sticks I sent?

GreekGodX · 07-02-2009, 10:40 AM

How does that not pass some sort of quality control inspection? That is a pretty big rock in there..

MedicCook · 07-02-2009, 10:43 AM

Too bad it was not a diamond.

TanithT · 07-02-2009, 10:47 AM

Unfortunately we'll never know much about the origins, since if that was the yellow-cello "mystery stick" I sent, it was from one of a number of estate buys and did not come with a box. They're in the category of "this is a cool old cigar from whoknowswhen, let's smoke it and see if it's any good", so I pass them out at herfs for sh*ts and giggles. I've never come across anything like that in one of those. Or in any cigar actually.

I feel awful about this. What cutter did you break?

Don't feel bad about it, you could not have known, besides, its still tasty (yes I lit it after all this)

it actually took a chunk out of my swiss army knife.

Tainth, Smokey actually used his diamond encrusted platinum Dunhill cutter for this stick...and is shattered in a million pieces!

That would suck, since I'm looking for a merchant local to him to see about a replacement.

No, there is no need to replace anything, you know I have more then one cutter, besides, according to wanger you are not the only one looking to replace it

You couldn't have known and I am gratefull for a chance to try these old cigars, that I would otherwise never have access to.
Besides, I tried smoking rock now and know its not for me

trust me, it's cheaper to buy it in the US and send it over. For example, a Palio cutter is about 35 bucks in the US and triple that price here.

Hope it wasn't a kidney stone.
