Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s done this? Is there a support group?:-)

I took off the label of a perfecto, clipped the end while I was in the house. Got comfortable on the deck and stared at it and thought…humm, which end is the foot? Being too lazy to run back upstairs and compare it…I ended up lighting the head…

It’s not going to be a good day. :-)

LOL sometimes it happens, most of time it involes Jack or Sailor Jerrys :P

I have actually heard of people doing that on purpose just to give a cigar a different perspective.
[Reply]

This would be one reason to leave the label on.

That said, yes...I've done it. It was a figurado on a very dark hot-tub night. :-)
[Reply]

Yep - done it myself. And yes the taste changes to me when smoked backwards.

I accidently dropped a cigar after cutting the foot, picked it up and started toasting the foot. Luckily I noticed pretty early and stopped. After looking and thinking about it, I recut the foot and toasted the head. I was pretty new to smoking at the time and felt pretty stupid.

I must try this with my next stick.

Cigars are blended and rolled to be lit from the foot end. If you were to light a cigar backwards, you would be smoking the stronger half of the cigar first, leaving the rest bland by comparison.

I understand this I'm just a little intrigued.
[Reply]

So, what were to happen if I cut my cigar in half, then smoked both halves backwards?

Ha ha I did this a few days ago with a small stick that had no band. I felt real bright, but it tasted just fine.
[Reply]

Ive never done this, knock on wood
[Reply]

I haven't done it yet, but I can see how it can easily happen. :-)
[Reply]

Total protonic reversal.
[Reply]

I did this on a 5Vegas Relic the band had fallen off of... it was.... odd.
[Reply]

So I shouldn't try this?
I was going to do this somewhere in the vicinity of the Large Hadron Collider and see what happens.
[Reply]

Depends on which half you smoke first. :-)
[Reply]

A good way to tell on a perfecto, even without the band, is that the head of the cigar's got a cap on it.
[Reply]

Haven't done this and don't plan on doing it.
