Worst / most amusing cigar casualty

[res ipsa loquitor]

Here's one I think might be fun. Post your worst cigar casualty. . . Mine could certainly be worse but it was sad nonetheless.

To get you started:
Walking the dog and having a smoke. A delicious Rocky Patel vintage '90, lit about two minutes. One of my favorites and I had gone to the local B&M specifically just for this cigar. Getting ready to head out and I talk my lazy but otherwise generally cigar tolerant wife to break away from whatever real world knockoff reality show she is wasting her life watching and come along for the walk. Good times.

Well the dog who is afraid of a half full petri dish decided that today was the day for a swim and jumps the bulkhead at the local bay. In one swift motion I hand off the cigar to my wife and leap over the bulkhead feet first into the thankfully low tide full of street sewer runoff water and hypodermic needles. Wife is speechless and obviously confused / demented / terrified / menstrual, but no bother . . . I'm going to be a hero here! Within no less than thirty seconds I fish the pup outta the water and am making my way back up over the bulkhead. I place the pup well into safety just in time to hear "#$@##$ YOUR CIGAR!!!!" and look up to see it being launched a good twenty feet into the bay. Good times.

Excellent. Sounds like he was the inspiration for my avatar!

Two summers ago THIS guy named Mandrake and his two buddies spent the summer keeping our fields munched down. He would come over whenever I was in the yard near the gate as both my wife and I often gave them treats.

One day I'm going to light a Monte #2 as I'm walking over to give the horses a few apples. I light the Monte and several seconds later Mandrake walks over for his apples. He quickly yet gently snags the Monte from my hand..........and EATS IT!!! Band and all. He did shake off the ash somehow on the way.

From snag to gone...about three seconds!!

Apparently horses like cigars. Whenever I had real dog rockets they would happily eat them. Go figure?

That's just the funniest story. They like Cubans and dog rockets? I guess it will take some time for their pallate to develop.

My worst cigar casualty happened last summer. I just finished mowing the lawn, took out a Pepin black and clipped the end. My 4 year old daughter asked me to get her some juice, so I set the cigar down on the patio table and went in the house. When I came back outside, NO cigar. WTF? I then notice my doberman puppy running around with something in its mouth. Needless to say, the cigar was unsmokeable!!!

Worse cigar casualty,,,,Last time I dropped a cigar was about 6 years ago and I have not dropped one since. Here's the story. I am in my local B&M where I was a member for about 4 years in Framingham, Ma. A few of us are in our leather chairs and sofas watching the game and after having our lunch of pizza, chinese food, yes we always had our food brought in, I drank enough to have to excuse myself to the bathroom. I had been smoking a nice Opus X at the time and was into this cigar only about 1/3 and excused myself to go do Gods work. I'm in there doing his work with the cigar in my left hand and breathing a nice sigh of relief looking upward and I suddenly realize that something is amiss. I feel and hear this hissing sound like you hear when something is being extinguished and I got that really really sick feeling and look down and notice that my cigar is not leaning outside of the line of fire but rather in direct line of a full bladder attack. My mind goes into overdrive thinking that I can save this marvelous cigar when in fact my heart knew there is no such animal. Making things worse was the production I put on when I tell everyone in the room what my smoke of the day was going to be. I thought I'd be able to sneak back into the lounge without anyone noticing that my beloved cigar was in essence, pissed off literally, and here I am sans cigar. The questions came fast and furious from the lounge, "hey, where is that great Opus cigar of yours, did you drop it in the can?" I wish,,,,after more and more grilling from the members I finally had to tell them. I swear you could hear the laughter from downtown Boston and from then on I am ALWAYS aware of where my cigar is at any time. I'm thinking I learned a very valuable and expensive lesson.

I wish I had a good story.

My best is that I had bought a couple sticks, and had set one up for a while, thinking I was going to smoke it later in the evening. Well, it was a Partagas, (I can't remember, but it was in a tube.) That day my wife and I got into a huge argument. One of those that can't possibly end well, and it was about finances. I stormed out of the room and was sitting in my Lay-Z-Boy stewing. Over time I kinda wasn't thinking about my Partagas anymore.

One day, I kinda wanted it and went into our bedroom to retrieve it, and it was missing. I looked all over the room thinking maybe one of the two of us had moved it without thinking when I passed by our little waste basket. I just happened to glance down and almost shit myself when I saw an empty tube. I reached in and pushed some paper aside, and there in the bottom, in two dried up peices was my partgas, bleeding tobacco all over the bottom of the waste basket. Needless to say, I was pretty pissed and when I asked her about it, without missing a beat she said, "Well, I didn't think it mattered since you like to waste money on those things anyway!"

--We have come to an agreement since then.

I'm sure she wastes money on makeup, nails, hair. What a guy can't have a nice cigar? lol That what I tell my girl.

If you don't HAVE a wife or girlfriend, you never have anyone around to nag or complain about your habits, pleasures, or expenditures.
