There is this old guy who rides around in an electric wheelchair in the town I live, and as a stainless 'hook' for a hand ... sort of a 'legend' around these parts (they call him 'hook'), and is well known and liked by almost everyone in the town.
One day I met up with him in a local bar, and offered him a Cuban Diplomaticos Torpedo ... and the guy (missing half his teeth as well) proceeded to do the same thing ... only by the time he finished, it was dripping!
It was so gross ... I almost threw up right then and there.
When I asked him what the hell he was doing ... he replied, "well, isn't that what you are supposed to do?" It was also his first Cuban cigar.
The worst part, is he only smoked it down about an inch, thanked me ... stuck it in the ashtray and 'motored' out the door.
It smelled so bad of raunchy, rotten breath ... I had to go outside to catch my breath, and then find another table.
Unfortuantely, that experience will forever be imbedded in my mind ...
