Who smokes dropped cigars ???

[CSMoFo]

I was organizing one of my humidors tonight and I found a nice NC that I had tucked away about 6 years ago. This Santiago Cabana was okay when I got it but with 6 years on it , it blossomed into a well balanced, sweet , heavenly treasure. I marveled at each puff. About a quarter of the way through, I dropped this knuckleburner on the garage floor. My heart leaped out of my chest !!!! I picked it up but knowing what has been on my garage floor I could not put it between my lips :frownno: One of the great travesties of life.

Does the " FIVE SECOND RULE " apply to cigars ? Do you continue smoking stogies that you have dropped ??

I keep a very clean garage, I'd have no problem smoking one that hit that floor.

Brush it off and smoke it!

 

[Trumpetchris]

Smoke that bad boy. Give it a wipe off, and get back to work mister!

We are men, a little dirt or stuff won't bother us if a cigar hits the floor.

birds have left their calling card on the tobacco leaf that went into that cigar. A little garage floor dirt can't hurt.

Excellent point, plus the hands of all the handlers, I vote smoke it.

 

[jmatkins]

Smoke it.

After reading this I really really hope that the cigar factories monitor the employees hand washing practices after using the bathroom.

I would keep going. Especially if it as good as you describe it.

Two Choices

a) Smoke It

b) Turn in your man card

I would probably brush it off and smoke the rest.

I've smoked and enjoyed many cigars that have briefly been on worse places than my garage floor, but that's me. I don't worry too much about setting in on the pesticide laden fairways, a bird friendly ledge and so on. Not that I'm careless where I set it down. However, if by smoking it would have removed the pleasure it previously gave, toss it and fire up another.

I live by the Three Second Rule. It's never done me wrong. :tonguerol

Brush it off and smoke it. I have smoked dropped cigars a couple of times.
I was out smoking today and one of the dogs came up and hit my hand, so I had to pick dog hair off before I took the next puff. And they haven't been bathed in quite some time.

I doubt my garage floor is any dirtier than my mouth....

 

[Brian]

I think I heard once that close to 99.9% of bacteria can't even survive in the human mouth. So any thing that could make you sick or what not is dead once you put it in your mouth. That's just what I heard though...
