a thread from the balcony

01-12-2010, 12:17 AM

has anyone else solved the problem of not being able to get your lit cigar back up to your hotel room cause you can't carry it lit through the building? i refuse to put mine out. so, i plan ahead and pack a spool of fishin line. i tight it off and drop it from the balcony so i can haul it up when i'm ready to head indoors.
is this excessive? does anyone have a better solution?

Excessive? yes

Better solution? no

That is awesome

Meanwhile, the guy in the room underneath yours occasionally is blessed with cigar smoker mana?

Hahaha that is too funny. Yes l, that is excessive but hey what other choices you got if you want to stay lit.

Excessive, hmmm maybe although I would love to be there to watch this go down.

Great work. I wanna see this on youtube!

I just use the old "cup it in your hand and walk fast" method.

I hope it doesn't swing into someone's room

I've developed a technique more simple in execution, but similarly clever and cunning:

1. Finish smoke.

2. Ascend to room.

3. Light another.

I plan ahead and start and finish it in the same area. I got some funny looks from some people in Hong Kong a few times. Some smiles from some girls in Singapore. I would never even have thought of having to get my stogie back to the room. You get points for imagination!

That is just awesome!!!

perhaps u can deploy a "Cone of Silence" like in Get Smart to not only contain ur cigar smoke but allow you to discuss national security in private!

On the extremely rare occasion that I know that I will want to finish a cigar up on the room balcony, I just make sure to have a tubo that will fit the stick. Cigars do go out and there isn't anything wrong with relighting them.

Funny approach though.

I would really like to watch this sometime

It would take me all night to find the fishing line after half a cigar and a few drinks. Other people might enjoy watching though.
