Cigar habit... with photos


l love smoking cigars when visiting Baja! I have a habit, that I just love. When I am finished with the cigar I have the following ritual.

Cigars are made of three main ingrediants. A filler, a wrapper and a binder. All made of different quality tobacco's, some from different countries, and all have different names.

At the end of my smoke, I like to disect my cigar, seperating the filler, wrapper and binder in a dish. '

I then light up the seperations and smell the smoke from each one, noting how different each one smells. Then I pile them up and light it up again to smell the combined smoke.

Unreal!

Am I a cigar freak? :rolleyes:

Me, before loosing 40 pounds! But, enjoying a cigar in Mulege...


And, yet another....

Housewife: "I have seven children."
Groucho: "Seven? That many?"
Housewife: "Well, I love my husband."
Groucho: "I love my cigar, too, but I take it out once in a while."

When I was a kid we'd dip cigars in liquid cinnamon. Was like smoking a candy bar.:biggrin:

Skipjack
I skipped school one day as a kid and was watching TV when I saw this Groucho Marx interview.
Groucho was interviewing a Catholic couple with 12 kids. He asked "Why do you have so many kids?" The guys says "I love my wife" and then Groucho says "I like my cigar but I take it out sometimes" they cut him off and went to a Forest Service Documentary on something like how good clear cutting was for the forest. I fell off the sofa laughing.
Did you see this interview? You are the only other person in my life who has mentioned it.
Regarding the cigar, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Groucho must not have been familiar with the following quip erroneously attributed to Freud “Just because it’s longer than it is wide does not make it phallic”.
Enjoy your cigar, just don’t think about it in this way and you will be ok.

Mood: Suicide Hot line ... please hold

Remember the Groucho Marx Show when growing up... my mom and dad watched it religiously ... and laughed at things, which I would say "what's so funny"... and they would tell be to be quite so they wouldn't miss the next line... from "You Bet Your Life"

Will also say .... some ash...

Thanks .... some nice thoughts for this morning....

Since I don't have any cigars... good ones.. that is... and really want to make a run....

Was getting Cohiba Churchills from Cuba for $125/box ... fell in love with that one... while staying down the last year... and haven't be able to make a cigar run ... but, were going to try and make a run soon... just a few days... I might be a bit harder to get back for the wife... as I would prefer to be down there, than up here... just me ... :):) ...

Here's a few one liners:

Women should be obscene and not heard.

A man's only as old as the woman he feels.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

I must say that I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a book.

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it

Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.

She's afraid that if she leaves, she'll become the life of the party.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

Why, I'd horse-whip you if I had a horse.

My Grandfather... was a real fan.. of "Mae West" he used to love her "stuff" got me into watching her movies .... really liked her with Gary Grant ... in She Done Him Wrong... her bawdy double entendres are classic to this day... IMHO

My Grandfather, after coming back from WWI, said she was the "real thing" back in the day, with all the guys....

Groucho's picture looks like a refugee from "Reefer Maddness"? What was he thinking? Great quotes!

Groucho's lines were classic, but my favorite is still WC Fields!

"There's only one way I like my children, fried!"

"A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money"

"A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her"

"I am free of all prejudices. I hate every one equally"

"I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food"

"If I had to live my life over, I'd live over a saloon"

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it"

"Now don't say you can't swear off drinking; it's easy. I've done it a thousand times"

More WC Fields

“The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath.”

"Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she'll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life.”

“The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.”

"I've never struck a woman in my life, not even my own mother."

"I was in love with a beautiful blonde once, dear. She drove me to drink. That's the one thing I'm indebted to her for."

"More people are driven insane through religious hysteria than by drinking alcohol."

"Madam, there's no such thing as a tough child - if you parboil them first for seven hours, they always come out tender."

"My illness is due to my doctor's insistence that I drink milk, a whitish fluid they force down helpless babies."
