Holy tragedy Batman

Went out fishing for a few hours today. Took along a Taboo Twist Torpedo that Gnukfu sent to me. Snip, light, puff, enjoy. Wow! Great smoke. I'm river fishing the Kewaunee for Steelhead trout... Yes, wading in the water...

I am about 3 inches into this bad boy - about 45 minutes after lighting it - really enjoying it. Sweet, not much spice, nutmeg, hazelnut, are some of the things I remember tasting. Incredibly firm cigar.

Finally, a bite!!! Yeeeesssss!!! Set the hook - fish turned - rod tip held high - swept the rod from right to left - fish jumped, a gorgeous fish. Buddy says, "Nice fish." I respond, "Thanks."

oooooppppppssss... in the passion of the moment, I had forgotten I had the cigar in my mouth. The attempted catch only bounced it further out into the river where it landed with a ffiiiiiizzzzzt and floated awy.

George, please forgive me. That's cigar abuse.

Oh the fish? Big bugger.. I was only fishing 6# test, and as he ran upstream, he found something in the river to get behind and broke the line.

No cigar + no fish = real sadness.

That sucks! Better luck next time

Just for that I'm gonna eat a fish sandwich for lunch. That'll teach 'em.

You better head to the confessional box for that one my man.

I've done equally stupid things while smoking a cigar. Usually it just involves a lot of ash going on my shirt and pants.

you went fishing with only one cigar? I don't know wether to feel sorry for you or call you an idiot for below average headwork.

Typical fish story.
It probably went more like this...You saw what looked like a sure fish hangout but you cast too far and got hung in a tree. As you were jerking around trying to get your lure unhung you lost your balance and slipped and fell on the rock you were standing on. When you felt that cold water rushing into your waders it took your breath away and the Twist went flying as you yelled a few choice words.
Yep, I think that's the real story.

Yeah! And it was probably a cremosa anyway.

Oh, no, had other cigars, in fact had my travel tupperdor with me - it floats... and stays dry. I was just sad about the one dead soldier...

(by the way, I wrote the note last night, but posted it today - so I was fishing *YESTERDAY*)

Also njoyed a CFO #7 Belicoso and a AF Chateau - sun grown.

Don't you just hate it when an animal, with the brain the size of a pea, outsmarts you?

[SIZE="5"]I hate it when that happens!!![/SIZE]


I forgot a stogie in my mouth, and when it dropped on the ground it knocked it out cold... The dang thing wouldn't lite after that!!!
