Smoking without the proper tools

[BORIStheBLADE]

Today I was bringing some smokes for a guy on my job that just started out smoking cigars and he didn't show up. I guess hes done doing his thing on my job so I won't be seeing him again. I didn't pack a lighter or cutter because I didn't plan on smoking at all, but since I had a few stick that were going back in my humi I wanted to fire one up.:angeryell:angeryell Damn it! No cutter or lighter. So I sat there for a couple of minutes to see if I can MacGyver this one. Ok.... So luckily I packed him a RP junior and my cars cigarette lighter would light the stick. I found a leatherman in my center console with a nice sharp blade that managed to cut it.

So whats the most ridiculous thing you have done to smoke a stick without the necessities?

I bit the cap off, while driving and pulled over next to some kids walking and asked to use thier lighter.

Used a dullass french knife and lit it off a pilot light...The stick had a propanious finish with notes of butane!

Bit the tip off of an RP Sun Grawn Torpedo and lit it with a pine comb that I pulled out of a pile of burning brush. Ahhh, the deer camp. I will be there again soon!!!!

On Vacation in Aruba I wanted to try a cigar on our last night there. I bit way too little off the end of a Cohiba, then tried lighting it on the beach in the wind with matches. Barely lit, too little a draw, this is not the experience that got me into cigars!

bit off the end,dropped my lighter in the pool,used a dry tree branch lit by the firepit.. it made for a good stogie.. damed sailor jerry!!!

 

[BORIStheBLADE]

Ok.. you guys make mine look like nothing.

Lit it with a twig which was lit by the single match I had at the time (ye know 'em short, paper ones) which was what I used as a puncher. (I brought the stick, yet no tools...never happened again.)

Using my fingernail as cutter is not beyond me, but I never had a lighter problem... so I guess short of borrowing someones I have never been in to much need.

 

[amgracing]

i didnt even think about asking for a lighter lol like i said.. sailor jerry

Saw a guy light off a citronella Tiki torch at one of my parties, this is why my free cigar box has yard gars in it, the people who know better get a visit to the humi.

Cutting with a scaple or toasting the food with a coal from the camp fire is about as crazy as I ever got. Usualy I pack twice as many cigars and assesories as I think I'll need.

 

[Moro]

What were ye doing with a scalple on the first place, Mitch?

Dosn't everyone have some? I keep them with my sutures, Epi, O2 and IV's.

I did special warefare in the Navy and since the medics get shot at too, we all learn what we can. I'm nuts in many ways, this is just one of them.

Hey I have all that stuff and used the scalpel just a week a go to cut my cigar.

 

[Moro]

Oh, ye're Navy. Thanks for shedding some light, mate. I actually intended to join the Navy here after high school; only to find out me flat feet (no arch) was an impediment...

Flat feet will keep you out, but if you call them flippers they'll make you a diver!

 

[smokinghole]

I didn't know flat feet still kept you out. I thought that was a thing of the past where marching was real and for long distances. Not to mention during the drafts with so many people to pick from they could be a little more critical on what they accepted.

The worst I've been without tools are two separate occasions. I was in Rome and did not have a cutter because it got confiscated by the Swiss Guards at the Vatican so I ended up using a wine bottle opener (the knife part) to open the head. Then recently I had ran out of butane when leaving turkey and broke down to use paper matches, the cigar had a strange crappy taste to it. Other than that I have a cutter and lighter with me as often as possible.

 

[Shmear]

Hmmm when we wanted to smoke a cigar and didn´t have a cutter we would cut it with my mom´s kitchen knifes... i mean, it wasn´t the best, but we were trully desprate hehehe.
