exactly right... out of sight and out of mind. cigar rollers wash their hands at the start of their shift, so that doesn't bother me. Maybe that is a fairy tale that I like to tell myself but it works.OK La Buzz....It's like this. Hundreds of hand have touched that cigar before that someone in your B&M touched that cigar you won't buy because that someONE just touched it. Sorry, but that's a cold hard fact.
Your drink analogy is a very bad one. That glass the bartender grabbed by the top was washed and sanatized before he grabbed it by the top part of the glass. I can understand your objection to the bartender doing this as you expect a clean glass. That cigar you are smoking has never been washed nor sanatized before you smoked it. If you expect a washed or sanitized cigar before you smoke it, you are living in a false reality. But if this helps you get over the fact that hundreds have touched your cigar before you smoke it, then don't let me stand in your way. Out of sight, out of mind, huh?
Respect is what it's all about. Put yourself in a germ-a-phobe's shoes. You might not be a germ-a-phobe... but someone at your local cigar shop could be. The thing is that we know we're a little crazy... but we can't control it. But you definitely have control over how you handle a cigar. :tiphat:
anyways... with that said can we talk about something that will put me in a good mood? like how great tatuajes are? start one of those threads and we'll love you here
