Do you guys ever drop your cigar?

I once split a CAO Brazillia from foot to head by dropping it only a couple feet. It popped open like a tube of Pillsbury crescent rolls

Hey Gary, somehow I manage to drop a stick or two every year, but I have a real problem keeping the ashes in the ash tray. Somehow they always end up on my clothes, the ground and all over the table.

I drop them all the time....but I'm a clutz.

Seems to me, I remember a story of someone dropping a cigar when they got out of their car and then stepping on it because they thought it was a big bug. LOL

I am pretty good with cigars, but my pipe I drop all the time. It will be hanging out of my mouth while watching tv and next thing I know it is rolling down my chest dumping ash the whole way. I cannot seem to hold a pipe in my teeth, so I should just quit trying and keep my hands on whatever I am smoking.

Tie a rubber band around your cigar and finger(s) when you smoke. LOL j/k I have not dropped my cigar yet because I can hardly put it down.

Maybe you are so relaxed during your cigar time that you lose all feeling in your body.

I do once in a while if I am running around doing things.

That's my guess.

I kid.

I don't typically drop my sticks unless I am at working and rest them off the counter and accidentally hit them or something.

Here is a post I made a while back.

Today at lunch I stopped by the B&M to get a couple of sticks. Walking back and forth for a while the guy told me that they just got in these Olivero Classics. I asked what he thought of it. He told me that he had not tried one yet but the boss whas smoking one right now. That was good enough for me so I got 2 of them. I normally like to get 2 so if I like it I will have another for later or if I dont like it I will be able to give them a second chance.
Well, when I left work I realized that I did not have a cutter or a punch with me and ended up cutting it with my pocket knife. After firing it up I hit the road. It started off somewhat hard to draw but loosened up after a couple off hits. when the ash was about 1.5 inches long I held it out the window to blow the ash off. I did not go anywhere so I tapped it a little and it still did not blow off. Well before I knew it I was crossing lanes. fortunatly there was no one in that lane.
Further down the road I had another 1.5" ash and tried the same way to knock the ash off. Same thing. so I tried again to tapp it. This time I lost grip of my smoke and it flew back in the window, hit my leg and disappeared. Now I am all over the truck to make sure this thing is not burning through the seat or going to burn other things if you get my drift.
Again, I am bouncing all over the interstate, so I made my way to the shoulder to retrieve my cigar from who know where in this truck. I found it behind the seat still burning away and still had half of the ash on it.
fortunatly nobody was hurt and I got to finish my smoke.
I ended up smoking it till it burned my fingers so I guess it was worth the hassle.
If you like sticks that hold a good ash, the Olivero classic is the one.
I will wait until I get home to fire up next time.

I've dropped it only a few times...I ash myself more often, however I start to ash it more often so I don't do it anymore

[gvarsity]

I'm a bit of a butterfingers particularly after a beer or two. Never have ruined one that way though.(knock on wood)

[massphatness]

Gary, you are most definitely NOT alone.

[elderboy02]

I dropped a Nub into my dog's water dish one time.

The other time I dropped a Sancho Panza Double Maduro on the porch and destroyed the wrapper all to hell.

[Cenookie]

I find that if I'm sitting alone and relaxing I sometime drop my cigar. I think this happens because I get so relaxed.

put a leash on it and tie around pinky finger

[livwire68]

Every chance I get! Not really but I do have a tendency to set it down somewhere and then I knock it around and sometimes step on them. And it baffles me how I loose them as well.

Based on personal experience, it's not something you want to do while you're wearing shorts.
