Story of my life!That's some funny stuff, but I don't know how you can one up your old man, lol
First LFD I ever had was a Double Ligero, and I made the mistake of smoking it on an empty stomach. I am pretty sure I turned a shade of green that day. I had no idea how strong it would be. Now, it's one of my favorite go to cigars.I'll share the story of my first cigar with my dad, let's just say I was "18" for the sake of legality..
I was on summer vacation from high school and came down to the DR to spend a week at the factory with my dad, This was around the time he was making prototypes for the original LGs, so a little over 11 years ago. My dad and I were sitting at his desk and he reached across and handed me a cigar (LGs are quite full bodied for those that don't know) and told me to light it up. I lit it and started puffing away, he looked at me and told me "You know, if you really want to taste the flavor you need to inhale", so I did, because I knew nothing about how to smoke a cigar at the time. I spent the next 5 minutes in the bathroom on my knees in front of the toilet and I could hear him laughing at me in the background. I came back with some choice words for my beloved father and he told me "Now you know how not to smoke a cigar".
... I hope to have a son one day and do the same thing to him.
You're not alone my friend. The Double Ligero has claimed many victims!First LFD I ever had was a Double Ligero, and I made the mistake of smoking it on an empty stomach. I am pretty sure I turned a shade of green that day. I had no idea how strong it would be. Now, it's one of my favorite go to cigars.
Now that is really funny to me! Coming from a guy who does not layer cigars on a multi-cigar day. I can smoke an LFD Chisel with my morning coffee and nubbed a Meaner Digger the same day.I'll share the story of my first cigar with my dad, let's just say I was "18" for the sake of legality..

I dang near spit my soda out my nose, that's funny. I could see this as my screen saver....
I've stuck the lit end in my mouth before and burned my tongue.... twice. That was an unpleasant experience.Alright...since we are a brotherhood, and I'm completely secure, here's some of the damn fool things I've done while smoking a cigar. Caveat: they're all alcohol-related...learn from me.
1. Ashed in my beverage; drank it anyway.
2. Cutting the wrong end of a closed foot cigar.
3. Attempting to smoke the business end of the cigar, only to singe my face.
