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 !

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...

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.....

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