Rookie mistake

jjirons69 · 04-03-2012, 10:44 AM

(In the confessional booth)

I was enjoying an LGC#1 last week on my ride to the river. It was dark and I was concentrating on my new route, while enjoying some good tunes. The cigar smoked like a dream for about 45 minutes, not a touch up required. Then it went to crap. I re-lit it, took a few puffs, then back out again before I could take another few puffs. This went on for about 3-4 miles. I realized the problem and was ready to chuck it (which I've never done to any LGC before a complete nub). I popped the interior light on to find the cause - I left the damm band on and had nearly smoked my way through half of it. I removed it and resumed uninterrupted enjoyment until it was gone.

What a dufus!

I smoked the best part of a Cohiba maduro band in the car one dark night. It happens.

You just wait, Mike. Just wait.

I blame it on the darkness!

Been there, done that. At least not as bad though as sticking the lit end in your mouth in the dark...

Too funny, and yep haven't done this yet.

I laugh because I have done this before.
Not as a noob, but after a decade of smoking.

We all have our off days.

I watched Digs do this, it was hilarious!

CigarSquid · 04-03-2012, 01:50 PM

I have almost done that. My time may come.

Did it taste funny??

maninblack · 04-03-2012, 01:51 PM

I've come close to doing this with cigars with double bands.

HollywoodQue · 04-03-2012, 01:51 PM

I bet you won't do that again...

Smokin Gator · 04-03-2012, 03:55 PM

LOL... I must remember not to smoke in the dark!!

Boz · 04-03-2012, 03:58 PM

Just another reason why I remove the bands before I light the cigar.

I didn't notice any odd taste. It just wouldn't smoke with repeated lightings.

Exactly, I usually do that, especially while driving. Can't say it won't happen again, but I'll be a little wiser. After 6-7 years of solid smoking, this was a first. I'd rather do this any day than jam a lit stogie against my lips. Ouch!!
