Rant: Cigar Bums - Page 7

MajorCaptSilly · 01-27-2011, 05:12 PM

On a related note, I was approached by a down on his luck fellow while getting out of my car at a client's place today. He told me he needed $8.00 to get enough gas for a friend's car as his mother had passed away today. The story was long and full of holes. I gave him 10 bucks and told him "good luck." Whatever his situation, he needed the money more than me today. I guess I'm a soft touch with cash as well as cigars.

You weren't the first per se, you were just the first whipper-snapper I remember. Your sincerity
and desire to learn was the real reason you were such a popular target.

A good non cigar smoking friend on facebook responds to one of my cigar announcements with "cough, cough."
I respond with something half witty and he responds with "why don't you send me one?"
I tell him I smoke full bodied cigars. If you're not a cigar smoker they will be too strong for you and you won't like it."
Implied "no" to his request.
If I did send him "one" he would put it in a drawer and a month from now smoke it. He'd "cough, cough" and throw it away later telling me it tasted like s**t.

Give a fellow a shitty cigar, and he may never smoke another. Give a fellow a great (or even good) cigar, and you may gain another BOTL for life!

Just saying.

What if I gave him a smoked fish instead...two birds with one stone?

One fart joke too many I guess. Sorry Peter, didn't mean to ruffle your feathers.

You just need to take some less expensive sticks around with you for occasions like this. I wouldn't hand out a 1964 Padron to a non-expierenced smoker either. But something like an Oliva G would be fine, and they aren't overly expensive. They aren't dog turds, and something I would, and do, smoke myself.

I worked at a construction company where everyone mooched from me. Pissed me off because no one ever reciprocated. So instead of giving them decent cigars, I started giving them dog turds. They didn't even know the difference.
My favorite is someone wants some sticks and then promises to bring me back a gift from Florida on their vacation. Guess what never arrives?
They can afford to go on vacation but not go to a cigar store or even offer to pay me.
That gets my short hairs up.
I finally told all them "Go fish."

Here's the best part... a LOT of people and manufacturers sent him cigars but he wasn't happy with the quality, now he's trying to trade up to get ultra premium cigars. Also, Xikar sent him some cigars and cutters and he's trying to trade at least one of the cutters away. Here's his post on the other forum. MODS - If you want to know where this was posted PM me.

I got Thomas' address and sent him a nice 5 pack in a an old travel humidor with a little humidification disk in it. They were basically mild cigars.
I hope he enjoys them. Yes. I'm a hypocrite and S.O.B. Thank you for pointing that out from your perch of righteousness. I apologize to everyone for being such a jerk. I'm having a f*****g nervous breakdown here and I'm acting like an idiot and moron. My apologies. I won't post anything until I feel more like myself.
