sometimes i just cant stand the conversation of some of the people that come in.
some guy made the entire place uncomfortable a few weeks about when he was going on and on and on about all the prostitutes he was able to get in panama. it was sad really. you could tell he was proud of himself for getting these women, but you can also tell that hes the kinda guy that HAS to pay women to be with him. it was one of the few times i didnt want to be in that shop.
If I don't have my good cutter or punch with me I always keep my extras in my truck just in case. I also have a cutter in my work bag and locker and a few extras around the house. They are for the most part inexpensive but I know my things have been taken care of and how they work. Certain community things tend to bother me and I often wonder how long it's been since some of them have been cleaned.
I think that we as BORKs who are regular cigar smokers should take the time out and talk to the people who are doing these types of things that are "disgusting" or that are not proper etiquette. Maybe they are not properly informed or educated on things. Granted some will just be that way no matter what, but we should attempt to educate those that are willing to learn. If not they will continue to do them when we have at least the oppertunity to share some knowledge.
As for the conversations that are disgusting etc. I don't know how you guys would handle these types of discussions but I am USUALLY polite and make it clear that I'm uncomfortable talking about the topic. If it continues and I'm in a public place I will leave or move to another location so I do not have to be part of it. Lifes too short to be unhappy while enjoying drinks and or cigars!
So I was at a Herf yesterday and there were about 10 of us there. Basically the only people at the cigar bar.
So then this group of 30+ bar crawlers came in.
they are all crammed into the walk in trying ot pick out cigars.
the 1st guy to pick out his cigar and cut it takes it out of the cello, slobbers all over it (on purpose) and then cuts his cigar w the house cutter. So naturally everyone behind him in the line watch this and then they all are slobbering on their cigars before using the house cutter.
UGH! Im glad I always use my own cutter.
Didnt help that one of them also was walking around topless. And the guy was very hairy.
I was standing outside of a bar once enjoying a stick when this questionable drunk chick came up to me and ask if she could take a drag off of my perdomo like it was a black n mild or a newport or something. I just looked at her like she was crazy and excused myself to back inside the bar. Sheesh

This may be the ONLY time I have ever been thankful that I have to order all my smokes online... thats disgusting... I would have thrown up.
"...and in the evenings the men would be men. We would sit round the fire and share a drink, a smoke and old war stories that oft dealt more with women than war it's self. There were no fathers or sons, bosses nor hands, we were just men sitting round a fire."

This.
I usually take my own tools with me when I go to the shop. They're nice enough to refill lighters for free anyways, so it's a win/win for me.
Generally in a B&M I just want to be left alone unless I bump into someone I know. I'm not the chatty type and am really just there to relax and think. I know that makes me a cigar-hermit, but I'm OK with it. I love smoking cigars with folks I know and have a rapport with, but Joe Schmoe not so much.
Case in point: Laste August for our SE Herf we were descended upon by a conversation vulture who made the conversation awkward by strangling it to death and taking it over. Seriously 2 hours worth of talk about kidney stones, the machines that treat them, and the kidney stone treatment industry. Rivetting.

Let me just tel you I had nightmares for weeks about kidney stones, lasers and old men riding motorcycles.
One of the workers at a local B&M told me a story about an individual who was halfway through his RP Edge and had to leave...another individual went over, picked up the half-smoked cigar, smelled it, then clipped the end off and put it in his pocket..........

I forgot my cutter when I went to the cigar bar last Friday for my bday...had to use the "community" cutter...as I was clipping my cigar, I was thinking about this thread...and almost threw up on the bar.

Guess she wasnt a hottie..LOL
I can do you one better; was in a B&M, with my cigar in my right hand hanging down by my side; some fat drunk chick comes up, bends over, and takes a drag off my cigar that's in my hand dangling near my waist.

It's been a long time since I've had a girl puff on my cigar. . . . . . . . I'm married.
Maybe its just me but, if the clerk you mention is a little talkative perhaps the guy or "loser" forgot or didn't realize that he had already sucked his stick before using the community cutter because he was distracted by the teller just like you were. It may not be the case but, it is possible. Sometimes people do things not out of spite but out of igorance, lack of social skills or lack of common sense. Either way, you were grossed out and that doesn't change, so I sympathize with your feeling disgusted. Hope your next B&M is better!

Why didn't you say hi to me? I don't know what you look like, jerk
What is it with people and licking/slobbering all over their cigars prior to lighting?
If you "Lick the Cap" it can create an easier time cutting the cigar. The little bit of extra moisture makes sure that the cigar stays together when you cut it and doesn't unravel as you smoke it due to a shoddy cut.

Holy crap you have to be kidding on this one. I need to know how this encounter ended!! I'm pretty sure I would've pushed that heffer over while she was still bending down then watched her try and get up like i bettle on his back. Ok, maybe not, but the thought woulda crossed my mind!
almost reminds me when in the mens room i sat a longneck beer on the pisser while i did my bidness, buzzed ofcourse, then went to grab it while i was p in and there was 2 one on each side of the top of the urinal same kinds budlight, i grabbed one i thought was mine took a swig and was a hold it nassy someones skoal spit, i spit for 10 minuites washing out with beer but never did that again,, luckily i didnt swallow that ***,lol
I was in a shop a few months ago and there was this cigar shop guy that empties the ashtrays, and cleans up the place. He was actually picking out the longer leftover cigars and putting them in his pocket. Another patron called him by name and asked if he found anything good today and he said yeah a Cohiba with the band still on it. About twenty minutes later I saw him with that very cigar clenched between his teeth.

Hey I think that was the same drunk girl that took a hit off my skin cigar last time I was there. Boy was she suprised when she didn't blow smoke. Lmao Jk, but if it's the same place in Tampa then I know who your talking about.
At the MOW Event at CFest, I saw this old man put his whole cigar and got his slobber all over the damn stick. I was grossed out. Can anyone think of a reason to cover your cigar in saliva before lighting it?
