Cigar fun facts (by none smokers)

[benday]

i once heard a customer the local b&m ask for the "good macanudos...you know the cuban ones." "he was so convincing and confident he almost had me fooled. the employee quickly said "oh yes, we have the entire cuban macanudo lineup right here!" the customer quickly found their sacred cigar and left happy.

The day before my sister-in-law's wedding I was hanging out with the groom to be and his friends. I was smoking a Padron 64, and one of the guys came up to me and asked what I was smoking. I told him, and he said, "I liked those when I first started getting into cigars, but I only smoke Cubans now. Anything else just feels like a waste of my time. I brought some for everybody. We'll light them up tonight."
While I thought the guy was a jerk, I was really looking forward to smoking a Cuban (I had only had a couple at this point).
As the night grew on, the guy pulls out his sacred stash - a handful of cigarette sized Jose Piedras - and says, "Can you believe I got these for a dollar a piece in Spain?"

There was a very knowledgable manager of a Binnies right down the street from the leaf. The guy new cigars/tobac very well. But for some damn reason the plume/mold thing he just couldn't comprehend. "Pulled these out last week only four months and already pluming!"
It's not plume dude!

Everytime I am smoking a cigar and somebody ( man, woman, child, etc.) walks by I tell them in a very nice manner,,, " you should really see somebody about that cough...it doesn't sound good" ) and I get the usual dirty look and I just smile and puff on.

This is one of the best ones I've heard yet, I have no idea how that could possibly help lol. How ever what about wetting the tip before cutting?

There is actually some credibility to this. While it may seem obvious to some of you, a very simple tip is to wet the cap a little with your lips, then carefully apply the cutter. The cap (especially true if it’s a Cuban triple cap) will come off without effort, leaving even edges without damage to the wrapper. By Inspector in Cigar Tips on Jul 8th, 09

There are others who support this as well but like with all things relevant with this hobby it's what you enjoy and what works for you.
