what was your worst cigar tragedy? My most recent was I finally had a day off when my wife had work and my daughter was at school, so I decided to grab a Guinness, a Padron 64, put the TV on a Ron White stand up in the other room so I could hear it and jump in the Jacuzzi...I must of been too relaxed because only about ten minutes in the Padron fell out of my mouth and into the water...the whole moment was ruined. I actually went through all 5 stages of grief

That is certainly a tragedy...RIP to that Padron. Mine would be thinking I could enjoy a nice Cuban, that was gifted to me, while I was rather intoxicated. Set it down, it fell to the ground and got stepped on. Lesson learned, don't bring nice things to college parties.

I had a friend who told me he had some good cigars covered for a two day golf trip, so I didn't bring any. Shows up with a bunch of Thompson house blends and what not. Certainly was tragic.

Lmao that's funny.

my current worse has to be the time i was smoking my first t52 or 9, forget which one and I set it on side if my light as a stop from it rolling off. I come back less a minute later and the wind picked up enough to make the cigar angle a bit and roll away. I did manage to find it...all torn and covered in dirt :(

a gifted party short put through a wash and dryer cycle.. Fared well considering it was in a plastic carrying tube. Unscrewed it , the sight of a hot soggy deflated short was almost unbearable

I was at work using the shop vac to clean up the garage when the president of the college walked in to talk to me, when I brought the tip of the shop vac up it took my cigar right out of my mouth... the president and I had a good laugh over it, but the poor cigar:dunno: RIP

I was playing cigar tetris not to long ago and had a T52 roll off a shelf, fall about 3' and hit the corner of a box, the wrapper exploded. Cracked it from cap to foot. I spent about 30 minutes trying to repair it with pectin. It ended up smoking fine, but still broke my heart.

I had a box of Feral Flying pigs that I was sitting at the bottom of my cooleridor. For some stupid reason I decided to place a 65% Boveda pack inside. Not real smart since the weight of the boxes that I placed on top of it smashed the Boveda against the cigars and caused it to leak. The net result was three ruined pigs and several tears shed for my tragic loss. :crying:

Mine was a bit gross. I went to the IP casino with my (now) wife and we had been doing well at the blackjack tables. We left to go have sushi and came back to the tables. She sat down to play and held a seat while I went to the bathroom. On my way to the John, I lit an Undercrown toro and began doing my business.

You can probably guess what happened next....

Freshly lit Undercrown fell out of my mouth and into the urinal. While I was still pissing. Only got two good puffs off the thing.

I'd say that was a triumph. It coulda been a lot more tragic than that! Hot ash falling straight down... yikes...

The worst experience I remember happened not to long ago. I had told my partner when we get the next boar over 300 pounds. I would buy us a Bhk which I got 2 for a steep price but it was worth it. Well this is his first Bhk so we lit up and started running some dogs when I tripped into a hog waller stick and all. Needless to say it was ruined and I was nasty the only good thing is my partner had a good laugh and got to enjoy his cigar.
