Most embarrassing cigar moments.

TheTraveler · 08-10-2009, 08:28 AM

I've not been smoking cigars long enough yet to have racked up any major embarrassing moments. Most of my faux-pas have been minor noob things like calling a cigar the wrong name, drooling a lot in the walk-in humidor (B&M owner makes me carry a handkerchief now

), creating a cello-on/cello-off thread (on the old site)

, stuff like that. Well, once I dropped ash on a carpet my wife JUST finished cleaning but that wasn't too embarrassing, just awkward really.

Anyway, so who has a good embarrassing story they'd like to share? Anyone drop ash in someone's coffee cup? Cut someone's $$$ CC for them and do it badly and have the wrapper unroll? I'm at work and need a laugh so help me out!

I was smoking with a buddy recently, one who doesn't smoke much. We were talking and he put his cigar down to show me something, and when he came back, he put the foot in his mouth and burned the CRAP out of his lips!

I felt bad, but seriously it was frickin' hilarious.

Oh. I did that once. But in my defense, I was completely trashed.

About 2 weeks ago, I toasted my cigar and then realized I hadn't cut it yet. Oops.

Puking in Mean Darrell's backyard during a Herf!!!

JohhnyKay5 and I were at a Carlos Torano event a few weeks ago...I am paying for a box of sticks and in the haste of putting my credit card back in my wallet, my stick got turned around and I took a nice big mouthful of burning foot in my mouth!!! YUMMY!!! I looked real quick to see if anyone "caught me" and proceded to rinse my burning lips off with some water as fast as I could.

I cut a Lusi in half.

I also smoked a cigar down to the band, forgot to remove it, and kept on smoking it, band and all.

Have actually done this a few times. Smoking a cigar and getting little bits of tobacco in my mouth from the cap. Set the cigar down, spit, and then pick the cigar back up and run my finger over it to brush off the bits. Only I brush the ash off with my finger...ouch!

Personal: Put my name on the Thompson's mailing list years ago after buying a relative a gift. Ugh, they wouldn't stop hounding me with their Iguana cigars and other crappy house brands.

Witness: I was at a "gentleman's" club years and years ago and the dancer came over to some schmuck with his hat to the side, and he was smoking some cigar the size of his arm. Well she bent down to get a dollar and he stood up and burnt her on the nipple with the end of his cigar. She screamed, hit him, and the guy was dragged out of the fine establishment by the bouncer.

'Somebody tried to sell you some cigars' is an embarrassing moment?

If you have access to the "other" site, search Lusitania and read my review on it.

If you've ever dealt with Thompson's you'd understand.

As a newb, I almost placed an order, then found multiple references to them on multiple sites and thought better of it.

They keep a lot of telemarketers employed.

Doctorossi · 08-10-2009, 10:00 AM

I used to order from Thompson's and was never harassed by them, but that was... maybe 15 years ago?

I put the lit end of a Monte A in my mouth at Bob's.

These stories are bringing smiles to my otherwise crazy day! Thanks all.

It was embarrassing that I bought from them and it was embarrassing every time the catalog came. So yes, you're correct in the assessment.

I went to a LFD event at my local b&m. My friend never made it to the ash tray which was right in front of us.
It ended up on his pants every time.

I also put the wrong end in my mouth when I was drunk. Luckily the cigar had went out so all I got was a mouth full of ash but no burns.

I was drunk as well, and luckily the ash was long and cool. So all I got was a mouthful of cold ash, but man did it taste foul.
