I turned the lights back up and saw my mistake. I had lit the head of the cigar and was puffing from the foot!!! What an idiot...I had to trim about half an inch off the top, to get past the burnt leaves. But it was salvaged and except for the wrapper unraveling slightly at the new tip, it smoked fine.

the only thing I recall doing was not paying attention and sticking the WRONG END in my mouth AFTER it was burning LOL! Minor tongue burn and rapid ashe spitting to follow.

He did the same thing.... Put the foot in his mouth.... but he burned his lips
While golfing I often set my cigar down before the shot. Cleat marks on a cigar makes for an EASY draw.
More than once I have got a strong metallic taste before realizing that big old cigar band on a My Father was burning.

I've done this, long ago.......not with a MF though......pretty sure it was a Gurkha Titan unfortunately......... 🤦
That's what drunk smoking, in the dark, on the porch does for ya......
Done this quite a few times on many cigars. When I fire it up I now make a mental note "Don't forget to take off the band before nubbing." Even then I still forget from time to time!
How many times I have burnt my fingers trying to get a partially burnt band off a nub. 😣
when you wake up the next day,
and the band is smoked through on the nub...
And you didn't notice at the time...
