Cigar etiquette vs your personal habits.

[Macion Grey]

I am curious to know who sticks to the more traditional etiquette, and who has developed their own ways of enjoying premiums.

For example; the belief that you must stop smoking after the cigar reaches halfway. I think that as long as you remember to constantly purge your stick, you will get perfect flavours all the way to the nub. Apparently, the cigar becomes offensive smelling after halfway. Due to the fact we smokers are being banished to our homes any way... a lot of these old guidelines seem moot to me.

'Only a brute will smoke his cigar to the last third.' -Zino Davidoff. I would rather be a 'brute' and enjoy my stogie, thanks.


Post your etiquette flauntings below.

I smoke it until I'm either tired of it, or it doesnt taste good within a minute or 3 after a purge, or just stops tasting good period.

Pretty simple decision in my opinion.

 

[JHolmes763]

Me brute.

 

[bpj87]

So it is brutish to smoke past the last three and a half inches of a churchill, but one can nobly go down to a two inch nub with a petit robusto? Same goes for a lancero versus a petit corona?

I guess this logic makes me a brute... :whistling:

oh and I wanted to say, that just sounds like a marketing ploy....

good lord... for all the times I wished I had a roach clip I was being a brute?

Simple solution to the "roach clip" problem: Hire a midget. They has small hands for holdin'!!

Can you imagine? Your own little person, hired to hold your cigar! Ingenious!!



x2 on the marketing ploy to me. I have learned the following from a BOTL (not registered here, but damned if I keep hounding him to): Never hold a cigar like a cigarrette, always with one finger on the bottom, two on top and your cigars resting in between horizontally; Never "put" your cigar out, rather let your cigar burn out on it's own; Never remove the cigar band; and Finally, "ash" your cigar as soon as possible.


I tell him nuts to that! I adhere to holding the cigar horizontally with the fingers and whatnot, as well as letting it die on it's own, but I always play "The Ash Game," in seeing how long I can let it hold on until it breaks off, and I remove the band frequently because I like to go for the nub! :whistling:


Me brute too! :laugh:

 

[JHolmes763]

Some would say your being pompous or "showing off" for not removing the band right away. Brutes...

For me it all comes down to if I am enjoying said cigar or not.

I have been known to chuck a cigar even before halfway..ie Perdomos and the odd R Patel :whistling:

Mostly though I tend to nub em as I pretty much have only cigars I enjoy in my humis now, ie Padrons,Fuente's,LFD's and a few others

So for me its:
Chuck it at any stage if it is crap
Nub it if I am enjoying it
:laugh:

Chuck Norris lights both ends of the cigar and still smokes it to the nub.

For f**ks sake!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Here are some favorites:

Some kids piss their name in the snow. Chuck Norris can piss his name into concrete.

Leading hand sanitizers claim they can kill 99.9 percent of germs. Chuck Norris can kill 100 percent of whatever the f*ck he wants.

Once, while having sex in a tractor-trailer, part of Chuck Norris' sperm escaped and got into the engine. We now know this truck as Optimus Prime.

Giraffes were created when Chuck Norris uppercutted a horse.

Chuck Norris doesn't have hair on his testicles, because hair does not grow on steel.

AND MY ALL TIME FAVE:

There is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist.

 

[JHolmes763]

None of those are cigar related, though! If you think of some, save 'em up... there'll be a contest soon... :whistling:

Chuck Norris wears Tim Tebow Pajamas
Tim Tebow knows when it's Parkay, not butter.

Midgets are not good for holding the nubs, the little bastids run off with it as soon as you give it to them. I tried punishing them by taking them to Disney World where they were under the 'you have to be this tall to go on this ride' mark, but it didn't work. Will trade midgets for Opus Maduro, i'm liquidating my herd...

I was curious not only about how long someone smokes a cigar, but what other etiquette bashing goes on as well.

Not really the same post.

 

[Fyodor]

Believe me, the last thing I want to be is a "brute", but I just feel stupid throwing a perfectly good cigar away especially when, in a lot of cases, it's reaching it's best part. That said, in public I would smoke it a lot less farther than I would at home.

I know.. who is really going to object to you holding your cigar how you want??

'Excuse me sir.'
Hmm... yes?'
'I noticed you were holding your cigar between your two fingers, like a cigarette.'
'Oh.. I hadn't really noticed.'
'I am afraid I am going to have to ask you to leave.'


When I am outside, I constantly play the ash game too. So did Churchill, thats why he had a 'cigar bib' made up, because he kept burning his suits. If Churchill is a brute, them I am proud to be one.
