The after-smell...

michael88n · 02-24-2009, 03:48 PM

Here’s a question I want to ask (I also posed the question in a review I just posted): When I’m finished smoking a good cigar, I don’t wash my hands for a while so I can smell my fingers (Jeez. You had to go there, didn’t you…).

I just finished smoking a 5 Vegas -Series 'A' and I love the smell that this Cinco left on my hands. So I keep smelling my hands. Too weird? Does anyone else do it? Is there a word for that? It's not I'm asking anyone else to smell my hand. That might be going a bit too far.

Cheers,
Michael

It's called the afterfunk, and it's awesome

I like the smell of my hand after a smoke...

Ummm not me...I wash my hands right after I smoke a cigar so I'm the opposite of you...but hey maybe I'm the one in the minority.

I'm with you. I don't "Mind" the smell, but I always wash my hands after I smoke.

I noticed a friend(Gary)of mine sniffing his fingers after smoking a cigar. I never thought of it before.
Gonna go smoke a cigar and sniff my fingers after.

I wouldnt say I sit there and cup my hands over my nose...but I dont wash them right away either. Guess I am a middle of the road average joe!

I wash my hands right away too, but I can still smell the cigar on my fingers and, yes, I do find myself sniffing them once in awhile.

floydp · 02-24-2009, 05:58 PM

Interesting. Never even thought about this. Being a geezer I'll probably forget and still not do it.

This thread is calling my name but I know better.

Reminds me of being a Freshman in High School...You know when your friends wouldn't believe what you did the night before....And you purposely didn't wash your one hand.....

Exactly what I was thinking (not that you're a geezer and will forget, but that I am and will).

All this hand washing! What are you guys? Surgeons?

Dirty hands builds character (and causes colds).

Not me, I wash my hands right after.
