Cigar Pet Peeves

I was responding to another post and it gave me an idea for this one. Not sure if this has been done or not, but what are you guys' cigar pet peeves? Here are some of mine:

Feeling rushed when I smoke
Wrapper tearing when I remove the band
People grouping cigars and cigarettes together
Ash falling on me
Wind

    Wrappers that unravel without cause.

    When you smoke the first third, enjoy the *** out of the cigar, and then it develops a plug.

    I hate cigars that are packed too tight.

    People who smoke cigars. I hate them....Na just kidding I just hate the ones who try and tell me a Swisher Sweet, or a black and mild are cigars. And I don't really hate them. I just feel sorry that they live dull, prepack, wrapper made out of pulp, filler crap off the floor lives.

    Darn it! I was about to review a Swisher Sweet :(... I hate wind and honestly if cigars could come with "no ash" feature I'd love that HAHAAHA - they could just disappear in nice white smoke.... I also hate one cigar store owner nearby me. But some of you already know that story ;)!

    +1! I haven't experienced the other you mentioned but I agree with these. I haven't really experienced issues with my cigars besides a few wrapper tears. Then again I am still a newb..lol

    feeling rushed when smoking, people telling me how bad smoking is for me, wind, rain out of nowhere, globs of glue on the band, tunneling, etc.

    Burn hot from the start and too tight are a couple things that drive me nuts.

    Going into a B&M that looks down on you because you're not a regular. A great reason to buy from Ccom !

    Idk what it is but I can make a cigar go out like magic.... it's a skill.
    And I hate that

    I hate the audacity of cigarette smokers telling me that my cigar stinks. And the hot, plugged, wrapper unwrapping bit also.
  • phobicsquirrelphobicsquirrel Posts: 7,347 ✭✭✭
    Another one, I hate when the label tears apart because the moron who put on the glue put way too much, especially when it's a kick ass label like opus X!

    me three! I wish I knew why that was. my cigars probably hate me cause I keep moving them around. The worst part is that its always at that point 1/2 an inch before the band where I have to play the "is it really worth re-lighting this?" game. usually it isn't :(

    Smoking while reading a book, and the wind blows the page over, hitting my ash and getting it all over the place

    THIIISSSSSSSSSS, it irks me to no EEENNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. A really tough, tight draw pisses me off too.

    Also when people tell me that my cigar smoking is a habit and not a regular leisurely enjoyment. After all, you don't see people calling wine connoisseurs alcoholics.

    Even worse: a server at a bar crumpled up my Padron 80th Year Anniversary wrapper, and my friends God of Fire wrapper. It was the night after my daughter was born and I was smoking with my wife's brother. I gave her this look like she just ran over a baby kitty.

    Anti-smoking legislation of any kind. I don't care if it's taxes, smoking bans, federal, state, or local. I think it is all just another case of the government legislating morality and violating the rights of people and business owners.

    +1 billion. Pretty much any legislation drives me to the brink of insanity. Leave me alone, you incompetent fools.

    This happened to me and I made the bartender get in the trash and find it ! I hate the horrid taste a cigar gives off if it has not rested long enough !

    Too tight draw, especially when it's a great tasting stick - totally ruins it.
    Also hate when people ask what I "get" out of smoking a cigar. Newsflash dumb-dumb, it's a hobby, I get relaxation...

    +3 Total BS. I also hate people who equate cigars to "status"....really....come on....
  • KriegKrieg Posts: 5,188 ✭✭✭
    Here's my list:

    1. Having to relight my cigar over 3 or 4 minutes.
    2. Waiting for a long time to smoke a certain cigar, when you finally do it, it tastes like crap.
    3. The looks my wife used to give me when I decided to go out and smoke a cigar.
    4. Getting over charged on cigars at the Cigar Bar.
    5. People I don't know always wanting to use my cutter and lighter.
    6. People who chew their cigars.
    7. People who deep throat their cigars before they smoke them.

    "Long ashes my friends."

    Not having enough time to enjoy cigars more often.

    Not having anybody to smoke a cigar with! My friends smoke cigarettes and don't know how to appreciate a REAL smoke.
