Cigar mishaps and the like...

[mobarbq]

What's the worst "mishap" that's happened to you in your cigar 'career,' so to speak? The reason I ask is that I had a misadventure earlier and I'm curious to hear as to whether something similarly disastrous might have happened to any of you?

You know how it is when you are getting ready to fire one up, you already have it clipped, punched, etc. and then your significant other comes up with an emergency errand for you to run? So, as a dutiful husband does, I carefully laid my cigar on the edge of the desk and headed out to do the errand. Coming back with my hands full of sacks I walk in the door, heading for the kitchen with the sacks, when I feel myself stepping on something laying in the floor, as well as hearing a crunch. I'm guessing she walked by while I was gone and one inadvertent bump to my desk, and off it fell.

Thank God it wasn't a really good one. It looks too far gone for duct tape. Woe is me.
