The Eleven (11) Commandments of Cigar Etiquette

And too did the Maduro wrapper causeth thee cat to speaketh to me and it did speaketh these Eleven (11) Commandments of Cigar Etiquette thusly:

Meow is the time to listen spake the fat tabby. (Yet too, hath I come to realize it was inded my Dachshund Ruby Vondella coming to me in a varied form.)

1. Thou shalt not speaketh with a cigar in thy mouth.
This is just rude, obnoxious, and indicative of posery as well as a severe oral fixation.

2. Removeth thine cigar band prior to lighting
We are not here to flaunt our bemoan our lot in life. We are here for the buzz.

3. Biteth thee tips of thine stogies and useth not cutting implementations.
The cap is a separate piece which comes off when nibbled wetly. Cutters (may) cause damage.

4. Thou shalt not lighteth before asking permission unless thou art alone.
Be nice. Privilege is not nice.

5. Thou shalt not looketh down at any hand-rolled cigar.
Each roller has a soul, as does each smoker, as does each hand-rolled stogie, as do you.

6. Thou shalt not covet thine neighbor's stick.
Long to smoke the stick in your hand. You will find immeasurable satisfaction beyond smoke, there.

7. Offer thy pal a smoke or smoketh not before him.
A cigar is offered both graciously as well as silently via gesturing.

8. You shall have no other accesories than a simple toothpick.
& wooden matches/spills. A tooth pick is an unplugger and a nub holder.

(& a schmatta I will sell you for five-dollars, s&h included.)

9. Thou shalt not starteth and stoppeth a stogie.
Procure the proper sized stogie for the proper sized allotment of time.

10. Be neither pretentious in the growing of your ash, nor flicketh too often.
Your character is on display here. Be not showy nor nervous.

11. Holdeth not a cigar as thou wouldst a cigarette.

Lest I shall smacketh you, n00b.

"Gay ga zinta hate" concludeth the cat.

Each of these commandments will have a posting all their own 

and eventually all above will be linked to that posting.

Each of these commandments are not writ in stone.
