Bad Advice
I find that, whenever I light a cigar in front of people who don't smoke, they start telling me how I'm "supposed" to do things. Because they occasionally buy cheap cigars from the gas station, they think they're experts. Does this happen to anyone else?
The worst advice I got from one of these self-appointed "experts" was that I must only use wooden matches to light my cigar.
I was camping with my brothers and some friends, and pulled out a big Churchill along with my torch. As I began toasting the foot, one of my brother's friends speaks up: "What are you doing?! You're not supposed to use a lighter!" Even after I explained that a butane torch is perfectly acceptable, that it burns clean, and so on, she continued to argue with me.
Finally, I had to just say, "Hey, I'm smoking it, not you, so let me do it my way."
Do any of you have similar stories? Share them here if you do.

The first time I ever had a cigar, my friend convinced me that the foot was the end you put in your mouth, and that you light the tip. Since the foot was the only open end of the cigar, this seemed to make sense in my young mind, despite the fact that I knew, in the back of my mind, that we were supposed to be cutting something.
As you might imagine, this was not exactly the most enjoyable smoking experience I've ever had. Obviously, I've smarted up and learnt to do things properly, since then.

lol - no, I haven't had that type of experience. And, since most people that know me know that I smoke cigars - they are usually asking for advice instead of giving it.
I would probably respond with "you have been reading too many cA articles - obviously".

You just got to ask them: "are you a cigar smoker?", then offer them a LFD Double L Chisel Gorda and sit back and watch them turn all different colors.

On a few different occasions, people have come up to me and asked for a "jump" for their cigarettes. I have always told them no, but will pull out my lighter. One time I said no and just waited for a response from the person, they had a total blank look and didn't know what to say. I waited for their reply, but they were speechless. I was kind of in a crass mood that day.
