Your B/M Slang.

Ok who else smokes with a group who has their own 'sayings'. The more incorrect the better.

For us.

Cog-nack cigars. Hence the guy who came in and asked for them.
Co-RO-JOE- The term Corojo'd out.
Opus TENS- Someone did ask for them by that name.
French Cigars- La Flor de Oliva.
Domestics- Fun to throw this one around to the Reps who don't talk to the customers.

[mikey burr]

we call habanos at the shop hooties...

[FriskyDingo]

I've heard the Opus TEN one as well! The only other one that springs to mind is:

CAO - Heard some guy ask if they had any COW Americas in stock.

Damn Frisky, ya beat me to it!!

Cow cigars....I laughed my a$$ off the first time I heard one of my guys say that....still makes me giggle....

Must be a Mid- west thing. but everyone (about 80%) say Olivia instead of Oliva.

Some of what I hear...

CAO - Cow or K-O
Oliva- Olivia
Macanudo- Macaduro
Cusano M1, P1 - M-eye, P-eye
Camacho- Comancho
LFD Oscuro Especial- "The Oily Wrapper One"
Cigar Aficionado- Cigar A-fish-e-an-do
Avo- A-V-O (like CAO)
Tatuaje- Ta-too-a-jay
Jesus Fuego- "Jesus Fire" (OK... I started that one!)

I forgot the Hoooey Hoooey Hooos. (Parodi/Backwoods) lumped into that category

For the longest time I thought it was Olivia. Then I actually took time to read the whole name and boy did I feel silly.

One of the Guys who works at my B&M calls it that, too.

Tutuajee - Tatuaje.

There are six B&M's that I visit here in town, so I get to hear a lot of the "I had a guy or woman come in here and ask for" stories. Here are a few.

1) All you sell in here is see-gars? You ain't got no smokes?

2) Where are them psychodelic see-gars? You know them ones with A-cid on them. I like them cause they taste good.

3) My husband wants me to pick up some of those Florida Olivo cigars for him.

4) Can you chew that pipe tobacco?

5) I want to buy some cigars for my husband, but I can't remember which ones he smokes. I think it starts with a R.
Cashier says, Rocky Patel?
No, she says.
Romeo y Julieta, says the cashier.
No, I think I'll call my son he'll know. She proceeds to use her cell phone.
She comes back up to the cashier and says, He said any of the R-turo Fuente's will do.

I did witness the pronunciation of CAO once as Ciao !

[brigey57]

I once heard a guy in my local B&M ask if they carried Donny Thomas cigars. I guess he was looking for Don Tomas. The owner said, no we no longer carry Donny Thomas cigars and sent him to a drug store to ask them if they carry the brand. LOL I nearly shared myself.

My all time favorite mispronunciation of a cigar brand name has been Davidorf....I have heard TONS of people refer to that brand as Davidorf...not Davidoff...Of course there are the others....

Arturo FooAnte = Arturo Fuente
Padromo = Perdomo
Padron = Paydrone
Aneejoe = Anejo

All the others have been aforementioned so I will not repeat them again...

Well you have to admit it's easier to say Olivia than Oliva. It just flows more naturally. Unfortunately I even slip on it sometimes, just have to correct myself.

I have to keep mentally kicking myself to prevent saying it that way. It's weird how you get something "wired" like that and can't get rid of it.
Luckily, I haven't talked about a "Ciao" to any one who knew the difference.....

[livwire68]

I find myself using abbreviations from the forum. "do you have any rp's, boli's etc..."

[Sancho]

fuente = fu-enn-iees
padron = pad-rooon
