So I was at my wife's friends house last night. I found out the husband smoked cigars so I took a few to share. I gave him a AF 858 sungrown which had the cedar wrap. So I lit mine up and 5 minutes later I see a burn in his cedar...on his cigar! I left it for a minute and contemplated letting him smoke it. Finally I couldn't take it and went over and took off the cedar for him.

Apparently he says he has been smoking cigars for years but I guess it just happens. :)
 
There was a newish member at our local cigar club named Doug who did that same thing about two months ago. We call him "Wrapper D" now.
 
There was a time I would have said, no way, you have to be pulling my leg, but there is a photo going around the internet of someone at an expensive cigar event smoking something good (maybe an Opus?) with the ceder still on. He was a good halfway through the cigar.
 
That is when you tell him to use the cedar wrapper as a split and light his cigar with it. That is assuming it was unpainted. Oh and take the tape off as well. I keep all of my cedar wrappers and use them as splits.
 
I remember in college I would light the wrong end of a cigarette. Man that sucked.
 
There was a story floating around CP, about a member smoking the Opus xXx ribbon :sign:
 
Yikes!
"A smokey woody flavour".
 
Ever picked up a lit cigar and put the wrong end in your trap?
 
Well contrary to popular belief the cedar adds to making sure the cigar doesn't go out!
 
You haven't smoked a power ranger till you smoked one with the ribbon on.
 
Like in all thing in life YMMV :whistling:

 And exactly how many scotches does that take?  :rolleyes:
 
I remember reading about some fellows in a bar who a seasoned cigar smoker observed them removing the "wrapper" leaf from the cigars prior to lighting. They explained, to him, that it was just the "Wrapper". 
 
Now, I do have some "Leaf and Bean" cigars that do come wrapped in a leaf.  Haven't tried any yet. but heard quite a buzz about them. I bought the Corojo version.
 
Yeah you do want to take that outer leaf off of the Leaf by Oscar...although you wouldn't be the first to clip and light it.
