Popular Post Drguano Posted July 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2019 I went along to a party hosted by one of my wife’s work mates whose spouse is “really into cigars”. This was my first time meeting them. The crowd was interesting, some would say unusual. Sort of a cross between “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Duck Dynasty” The husband of the workmate is a nice bloke and really wanted to show me his Humidor. It is about a meter tall and has nearly empty drawers of non-Cubans. He keeps it at 73% r/h by soaking sponges in distilled water. I mentioned I like to keep mine around 65% and he said that doesn’t work for him. Fair enough. Then he spied a coffin in one of his drawers and said “I have to smoke this right now!” It was a Hamlet Culebra. We went outside to join the gathering and I turned to find my host lighting up all three at once. Would you say anything? I did. 4 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I think I’d say that a great thing about them is if you have a couple of buddies over you can unwrap it and each have a cigar. I’d add that’s normally what I do. He may say that doesn’t work for him... fair enough. I should add it would be great for Hamlet to see the picture. Let me know if you mind me sending it to him.

avaldes Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I’ve always wondered how someone cuts all three cigars like that? Common sense would say you are doing something wrong if it doesn’t fit in your cutter. Been about 18 years since I last smoked a culebra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you cram it into your gaping maw and puff away! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lomey Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Like you, I would say something. My question is, what was his response when you said something?Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirVantes Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 1. Say “wow, a Hamlet Culebra! Never had one.” (Even if you had)* 2 “Had a Partagas culebra recently though.” (Even if you hadn’t)* 3. Pull up a pic of Parti culebra from your phone / do a quick search on FOH’s Daily Smoke - showing the thing being smoked the right way. 4. Show him the pic and proceed to describe the flavour only; don’t mention the elephant in the room (if you never had one, just describe a general Parti profile)* *it’s for a good cause.

David88 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I don’t think I would have said anything. I know that if I smoked a whole culebra like that, I would turn pretty green half way through. I would have just watched and waited for that to happen. Or for the lightbulb moment when he gets to the point that the bands need to be removed and he’s left with three separate cigars... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stogieluver Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I wouldn’t have said anything. That is a lost cause. Really curious @Drguanoto hear what you said and what happened next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigmundChurchill Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I have seen that before, done with Partagas Culebras. I discretely told the guy. We ended up laughing about it together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really curious @Drguanoto hear what you said and what happened next. I merely said “I think you’re supposed to smoke them separately...” He replied that you can do it either way. I said no more because they were plugged. He separated them, kept the Maduro, gave me one and gave the other to another bystander. He then trimmed the stick an inch at a time until he could breath through what was left. I could not get it to draw and made a tactical departure. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoliDan Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I wouldnt... I might try to hide a snicker. But I'll be honest, I was tempted to do this with a partagas culebra during NFL playoffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
