I'm serious. I couch it in hilarious terms, and for the people who have seen me do this in public, I'm sure they all have gotten big laughs, but it works. You have to put that cigar wayyyyyy down in your mouth and suck it, suck it, suck it really good, but gentle, with soft pressure and full lips. And you have to make the cracked or peeling part of the wrapper, really, really, REALLY WET, SOOOO WET, . . .
And you WILL be able to smoke that cigar. I've done it several times, and as a matter of fact, on the last box of Hemingway Masterpieces I bought, nine were for giving to others, and one is for me. Well, the decision as to which one was made when I opened the box, and saw that there is a distinct slit almost all the way down the length of one. If you think I'm throwing out a cigar that I usually get for $12.50-$14 apiece by the box, and that can retail for $20 for singles, that's crazy. :duh: :duh: :duh:
Just give it a nice BJ, and you'll be able to smoke it. You might not want to do this in front of friends, family, surveillance cameras, etc. There's always some Wisenheimer in the crowd to say, "HEY, you do that REAL good." :dunno: :sm_angel:
