Cigar Burning Today

[MarylandQuitter]

A couple of weeks ago I was going through some old boxes in the basement and found my old humidor 1/2 full of cigars, most of which were Rockey Patel's.  We had our first outdoor fire today so I decided to dispose of them when everybody came in the house for coffee.  I dumped them out of the humidor into the fire and walked away.  At $10-18 per stick, I burned a lot of money today but better to burn that crap in a fire than in my lungs.  They were probably from 2011 or so.  Yuck.

Well done MQ :-)

[SueBeDoo]

Well done, how did it feel doing that, was it hard or were you happy doing it, you should have sold them and got a few bob for them instead!!

My wife looked at me like I was insane and was pissed that I burned them all.  She said the least I could do was give them to somebody to who smokes cigars and I said nope.  I'm not going to contribute to anybody smoking.  She thought I was nuts but had totally forgotten about them for the last 3 years.

 

It didn't bother me a bit.  I got more enjoyment tossing them to instant destruction than just crumbling them up and tossing them in the trash.  Boring. ;)

Nice job MQ!

 

Should of got some marshmallows too!

Way to go, MQ!  I think you did the right thing but I am curious...would they still have been good after that amount of time?

[beacon]

Good! They look yucky all burned up in the ashes. There is nothing special about them

[Holski]

Hey, good job, man!

That. Is. Awesome!

No one should smoke them. You did right.

:)

Great! Good riddance! I wouldn't have given them away either, I don't know anyone I hate that much.

A bunch of cigars that cannot ever put poisons into anybody's body!

So AWESOME MQ!!!!

I have a Humidor 2 feet from my right hand, full of Cuban cigars and, I think, a few packs of cigarettes bought for La Bandita (a brand she does not like)

 

I have to say, I had forgotten all about them until I read this.

 

We never threw them away on quit day because not smoking was, for us, a choice. If we want to smoke, we will smoke.

 

I think La Bandita even argued that having them there helped her quit.

I would have done same thing. BUT I never liked cigars. Any packs I ever had when I quit I had to soak in water, tear up and bury in trash. Or I would have pieced them back together two days later. Not this quit, NOPE and walked away.

I bet it took a while for those to burn... lol

 

My husb used to smoke the occasional cigar, and he'd buy the expensive ones... shocking what some of them cost! 

[Leanna]

Right on MQ!

 

Good call. :)

Like a boss.

Cigars want to be burned. It's their life's purpose. What you did was too good for them.

 

Show. No. Mercy.

 

Give. No. Quarter.

 

The Sarge is thinking a good shredding in a blender, an overnight soaking water, then frozen into a block of ice, and finally ... say ... dropped in a 55 gallon drum of muriatic acid. That would do it just about right.  :)
