Cigar Pet Peeves

neoflex · 06-19-2010, 08:17 PM

There's flaws with smokes that can sometimes drive us nuts while we can live with others. I can deal with doing touch ups on a bad burn and can even enjoy a smoke that's being stubborn with staying lit from time to time. The one thing that absolutely drives me nuts is when there is a giant stem in the wrapper that no matter how hard you try continues to poke you in the lip everytime you put it in your mouth.
So what's some of your biggest cigar pet peeves?

I absolutely hate when a cigar goes out repeatedly, more than once or twice really pisses me off bigtime.

When they are out of my price range.

J/K. Invisible splits in the wrapper that gradually widen the closer the burn line gets to them.

When I inadvertently light the wrong end.

Seriously, when it doesn't stay lit or the burn goes astray.

Gave a cigar out to a guy yesterday that lit the wrong end and he had no idea!!!! Luckily it was a cheap one and I didn't care.

I hate loose draws! Especially on Tat Franks!

When you get one that burns down the center faster than the rest of the cigar. Then you have to continue to light it and just some time put it down.

lightning9191 · 06-19-2010, 08:41 PM

Draws that are too tight!

Tunneling and having to re-lite

I would be happy to just get my grubby hands on some Franks.

This would be my pet peeve as well, and it seems much more common than a too tight draw. I hardly ever get sticks that are too tight.

Loose draw cigars seem to always have burn issues and I can't keep them lit. I actually switched from a guillotine to a sharp knife, so I can remove just enough cap to get the draw I want.

when a box you just ordered goes on sale the following week

kgraybill · 06-19-2010, 10:44 PM

When my wife sets up to go to our sons house so he and I can have a cigar while the ladies talk.

Then she keeps coming out to see how much longer we are going to smoke. "Are Y'all STILL smoking them things?" "You didn't just light another did you?"

Tight draws and splits that just keep growing.

Also when I have to put a good stick down because my fingers burn.

St. Lou Stu · 06-19-2010, 11:04 PM

Tight draws and relights.

Any number of which >1 means a pitch to the worms.

SaltyMcGee · 06-19-2010, 11:22 PM

Tight draw. I can deal with pretty much anything else.

06-19-2010, 11:09 PM

In order - shitty taste, and then a tie between tight draw and the wrapper unraveling. Anything else can be fixed/dealt with. Lucky those three things don't happen too often.
