I could not compare, never had rock before, never will after this I hope

That is crazy. I was at a herf and a friend was telling me how last week he was smoking and had a bead come out (one of the hair beads). That was enough to make me sick.

Dude... your cigar ROCKS! :-)

Sorry... bad joke. Glad you could still enjoy the stick. :-)
[Reply]

nah, I can laugh about the joke so its pretty good :-)

the cigar is pretty tasty, almost burning my knuckles smoking it

So you decided to smoke rock but found you didn't like it until you cracked your cutter.
[Reply]

but is the smoke purple?
[Reply]

Glad you're enjoying the cigar anyhow!

Obviously it was a (Rock)y Patel! :-)
[Reply]

Now that is funny right there! :-)

Looks like a Madagascar Vanilla nugget!!! :-)

The rock is called a "heating stone" made to ensure that your cigar is at optimal temperatures during smoking. End of thread. :-)

I have seen this one other time when I was smoking a Thompson's 'cigar' given me by my brother in law. The stone was no where as large as this one though.

I've heard the rumors/urban legends of military armorers shipping home a weapon piece by piece. Maybe that roller was trying to steal the factory a little at a time and relocate to the States! :-)

Sorry 'bout your cutter but you ended up with a good smoke anyway, as well as a good story and souvenir.

Must have been a Cohibo!

trust me, it's cheaper to buy it in the US and send it over. For example, a Palio cutter is about 35 bucks in the US and triple that price here.

I have found plastic a twine in cigars but never rocks...
[Reply]

That's suck bro
[Reply]

What the?...

I've had long hair, plastic threads, and a small metal nail.....but a freaking rock? I can just see the rollers at the local cantina, " What did you guys roll in the cigars today?" " I put in some plastic threads", "me?.. I put in some long hairs from the woman next to me!", "Oh, yeah?! I put in a rock! Lets see that Gringo suck on that cigar. HAHA!"

You are now the Charlie Brown of CA.....you got a rock.
[Reply]

Lol the Charlie Brown of CA :-)

still not clear how it got there, but it does keep smoking cigars exciting, like the prizes they pit inside boxes of cerial
