Cigar mishaps and the like...

Why would you stomp a giant praying mantis? Just wondering.

If I saw one, I would just watch it in awe. But when you unexpectedly step on something in bare feet, your feet work faster than your brain.

So let's just say it was a tarantula.

Ah, you were barefoot. Okay, that makes a little more sense.

Still I don't go around stomping valuable parts of the eco system.

Tarantulas aren't usually poisonous to humans.

You're just a much better person than I am.

I'm just better at not stomping large praying Mantises.

Worst cigar mishap?

Lighting an 80's Dunhill Mojito. It tasted like tar and I could not get a good taste out of it to save my life.

Went to a herf, arrived early, opened the travel humi and pulled out a stick. Someone asked if they were Cubans and I said yes. Next thing I know, I had 10 people all asking for a stick. Never saw any of them again either - they didn't even call!

Went to a herf and pulled out a CoRo and from across the room comes a guy who started bugging me about the cigar. Even goes as far as asking me if I had any more and if I'd like to trade for one of his larger format Cohiba or Monte something he got in Mexico.

The funny thing is that Vin looked at me with the "Don't do it they are fake" look. The following year Vin opens his travel-dor at this similar herf and that same guy runs across the room and starts bugging Vin about them. He even asks for trades...I was kind enough to give Vin the same look back.
