Co-worker brought me cigars back from Canada. LOL!

[BigWill]

I have this great co-worker from Canada and she knows that I'm into cigars. She's so nice, she brought me several cigars back from her trip to see her parents.

What she brought is the funny part, she brought me a pack of Canadian Backwoods and something else called Primetimes. The Primetimes have a filter like a cigarette. I graciously thanked her and accepted her gift.

Would any of you smoke one to be nice? I don't think I can...

[KoreanCowboy]

Probably better than the fake Cohibas she could have gotten you!

[finecigar]

Save the backwoods for whenever you are drinking beyond your limit and need a few puffs and will have no memory of it... But those other "cigars" are basically cigarettes to avoid taxes (at least that's how they are in the states)

[thebigk]

I think of the Backwoods like the fat ugly girl it's fun to ride until your friends see you and the filtered ones need to go

[stogieluver]

She doesn't like you, does she?

[madandana]

We used to smoke alot of Backwoods. I always enjoyed them. Not top notch but good when fishing mowing the lawn.

[Laxman]

Nice gesture but I would toss both in the can.

[poisonowns]

That is definitely something my wife would do. All the best intentions but the end result is kind of meh.

[Maplepie]

if you could, send an unopened one back to Canada. label it 'Cigars' and i'll toss you a fiver. i REALLY wanna see what customs would charge me when they see that there's ALREADY a canadian health sticker on them.

fun little experiment, not that i think about it.

[maxcjs0101]

OP didnt mention that his co-worker was into or knew about cigars.

In my opinion, that was kind. I've not tried primetimes but the Backwoods is pretty decent for its price, unless you're comparing them to Cohibas which i believe most of you here wont.

[BigWill]

Just to be clear, I really appreciate her effort.

She knows nothing about cigars but thought enough of me to smuggle some back. I knew that this group would see the humor in her friendly gesture. Thanks all of your input.

[CdnLimitada]

Did she need to smuggle them? Are they Cuban? Never heard of either.

naaaaaah, they're crappy lil' American sticks that taste and light like cardboard. i could've grown better tobacco with a sunroof!

[Fosgate]

It's the thought that counts. My family has a tradition of smoking backwoods with some home mix schnapps when ice fishing overnight. I'd still dive into one just to remember old times of sleeping overnight and finding the shack is buried in snow and we may not make it to shore anytime soon.

Quote of the day there!

[Skyfall]

Backwoods are awesome!!!! and no i'm not joking! They are a rite of passage.

[PapaDisco]

Clearly she thinks you're a manly stud! She brought you cigars in faux burlap packaging. ;-)

[BigWill]

She told me se smuggled them, she thought she was breaking the law. That makes it even better.

[Edwhatever]

That girl's a keeper, breaking the law for you!!!

The Blackwoods Watermelon flavour was pretty cool i thought actually. Might get one these days to reminisce

my rite of passage

[AbuAmelia]

The first cigars I started smoking were backwoods.

[Skyfall]

I catch more fish when I smoke a Backwoods! It's Science!

[PapaDisco]

lol, o.k., now you guys are just making **** up!

[potpest]

Ill smoke anything, no harm in trying them...unless your worried you might actually enjoy them

[Fosgate]

True story! Plus it keeps the mosquitoes at bay!

[fingerburner]

What a sweetheart. I'd keep them just because of her gracious intent.
