I should have wet it too, I bet it would have made it amazing.

One of my favorite lines come at the end.
"Once properly cooled, feel free to discard, or place back into the cellophane wrapper and save it for later."

Me too!!

I've been teased about how much time I'll take "playing at" lighting a stick. Sometimes you've just got to take it slow.

Thanks for the article Bao, I now feel like I'm ready to make the next evolution as a cigar snob.

7.)Remove the wrapper: After a few puffs, the heat from the cigar will melt the glue on the wrapper, please remove it now. Leaving a wrapper on a cigar is controversial, and there are two camps of theory. Those in Europe and the Middle East consider it a sign of arrogance and showmanship, those in North and South America see it as optional.

He's gotta mean the cigar band, not the wrapper.........

Just remember, Dan . . .

"Personally, it is better to err on the side of conservatism and simply remove the cigar label. Sure someone might think your Ed Hardy shirt is cool, but chances are people will think you’re a douche. Leaving a label on is for amateurs"

That's priceless Peter. I love that quote!

I'm sure he meant band but wrote wrapper or maybe he did mean the wrapper.

I can get past the band/wrapper lunacy but a site that purports to educate males on how to be a sophisticated gentleman referencing Ed Hardy shirts and being a douche is downright comical. (Apologies to ADB)


And, of course, there is this gem - "Don’t worry about the ash falling on your clothes, it wipes clean (I know from experience)."

I was wondering why you kept laughing & pointing at me.

Maybe he meant Remove the Rapper?

But Bao, I always point and laugh at you.

Is my cooler a good place to keep all my half smoked cigars? I mean who has time to smoke a whole cigar anyway. Plus they fit back in the cello so nice it a damn shame to waste it.
-edit- Should I still worry about humidity when it comes to half smoked sticks?

I also take the label off, but only so I can put on my limited edition leather and gold Davidoff band.


Then I take out a butane lighter and use that to light a crisp $100 bill, which I in turn use to toast the foot of my Gurkha Majesty's Reserve.
