Default Who says cigars are 100% tobacco?

So.. earlier today I was smoking an A. Fuente Exquisito on a short drive to the store when i noticed somthing sticking out of the cigar. I gave it a pull, and I found a long black hair that looked to be human. Since it's a medium filler cigar I wasn't all that surprised. A little disgusted, but not surprised. Then, After dinner tonight I grabbed a MOW from the humi, clipped the cap and found this sticking out

It appears to be some kind of pink plastic fiber.. Now maybe I just had bad luck, but I imagine I would have been able to taste that thing burning. Have any of you guys ever found foreign objects in your cigars?

Default Re: Who says cigars are 100% tobacco?

I remember reading a thread back on cigarlive a long time ago. Some had a piece of gum in there cigar! The funny thing was I remember him saying something like it tasted awesome. He probably thought he was getting some kind of spearmint flavor. I just remember laughing my A$$ off. I wish I could find that thread again.

I guess it comes from chewing leaf tobacco for years but I'm fairly used to finding stems, dirt grain, rocks, and binding in my tobacco.

I've found just about everything in my chaw.

In my cigars, however not so much. I have found some dirt grain (I have a habit of chewing my ends when I smoke it down to lip burning point heh)

But thats about it.

If this stuff freaks you out...I hope you guys don't eat vegetables. Next time you're at the grocery store, ask someone in the produce department to tell you about the weirdest stuff they've seen in the pallets from South America. I don't want to turn anyone off healthy foods, so I'll spare you the details...

Considering how cigars are made through the entire process, I would wager there are quite a few with a hair or fiber included. I have never seen a torcedor wearing a hair net.
