Puff, Puff, Pass.

I'm not making an issue out of it, bub, just wonderin' what the fuss is all about, that's all.

okay Bub. But I was stating that if offered a cigar in a puff pass that you should not make an issue of it at that time.

okay Bub?

My whole point was that I don't think I would want to be involved in a PPP in the first place so it would never even come to that. But, if by some chance I got over my anxiety about germs and somebody handed me a slimy smoke, then I would most certainly decline and possibly comment on the slimy party foul.. in true ball busting fashion.

I just wanted to see what the fuss was about with the PPP, as I had never heard of it in the cigar world before.

Regardless, your response really rubbed me the wrong way, and I don't appreciate being talked down to.

..and you ignored my Japanese, which was polite by the way.

Also, for anybody that's ever passed a J around in their youth(or the present ), isn't it frustrating when you put the J to your lips only to find somebody has slobbered all over it? This is my dilemma with the PPF.

Enlighten me, please.

Yep, and perhaps your circle of friends needs a towel?

It sounds like you have a paradigm you either want to change, or reinforce, and uh... sometimes I am at a lack of understanding, being pretty tactless myself.
I am trying to be polite and tactful in English, as I am not fluent in Japanese.

Sometimes when someone is coming across as arrogant, a quick pm defuses the situation quickly, especially when you suddenly realized "Oh Crap, I think that may not have come across as I would have wanted it to." I've done it. Hell, maybe I am doing it now.

What can I say? I'm a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

Point taken, no harm intended.

If you're worried about germs, I hope you never handle money, public door knobs or drink from public fountains. Three of the dirtiest, bacteria laden things ever.

I have gotten to experience some of the most rare and expensive cigars in the world(most I would never be able to aquire) in ppp's with some of the world's greatest people. I consider myself very lucky.

A few years ago, several of us here participated in a 12 hour ppp. It was one of the best times I have ever had.

Also known as the shack herf.

The PPP's there were some of my favorite cigar experiences, and not even primarily because of the cigars. The camaraderie experienced was awesome; everyone talking about the same cigars, laughing, discussing, pulling out rare smokes to share (Patrick and I were trying to outdo one another, he won ), "what was this one again?", taking the bands of Dunhill Cabinettas (and the like) and passing it around for everyone to guess what it was, just a lot of fun on top of the good cigars.

I admit to having to overcome the 'slober factor' but it was one of those 'jump in the cold pool' moments, once done it was a pleasure. And now it's no big deal, hey its a PPP, its worth it.

How about ketchup bottles?
Germs rarely cross my mind but when I pick up a ketchup bottle, then immediately pick up a hamburger and start to eat it.... well...

You shouldn't eat ketchup bottles. Stick with the hamburger.

I always laugh silly at the precautions folks take in public bathrooms.
They will use a roll of toilet paper to cover the seat.
Some even use a roll to fill up the bowl so nothing splashes.
On and on.

Well, did any of those geniuses ever stop to consider that when they walked into the stall, and used the lock mechanism to secure the door shut, well................how can I put it, other than bluntly, someone else just used that and they had chit on their hands.

I gave up on all that after staying in India.

You remember when I licked your eyeball?



I opened the stall with my mouth five minutes before that.



BTW, my dogs taught me how to drink out of the toilet.

You are a sick man.
I should know.
It takes sickness to recognize sickness.
