Button Slappers

#1

Depends of your definition of "stink". I don't believe that good quality cigars stink. The el-cheapo's are a different story. I have sat next to women, and men for that matter, that absolutely reek of very cheap perfume or cologne. That's when I too will light up a cigar. If I'm with a friend, they too will light up a cigar with the offending person between us. Plunkers are also in the deserving group to receive this treatment. Fans are not much good with a cigar on either side. On the bright side, I only play $1 and above, so most of you would not be sitting next to me anyway.

   I wouldn't want to be within 20 feet of a lit cigar. Most of them stink worse than farts. But that's why God made those nice fans you can buy in WalMart for five bucks.

Recently I was Playing at the Goldcoast, when I was suddenly
surrounded by a cloud of foul smelling chemicals. I surveyed the
situation and saw an old lady who decided cheap perfume was a
suitable alternative to a bath. I was about to light my El Producto
whan I saw on the other side of me was an old man in a wheelchair
with an O2 Bottle in tow. Quickly, I decided that lighting my fine
cigar in an atmosphere rich in fuel from the "perfume" and rich in O2
may cause an explosion. Thinking quickly, I reached in my pocket and
took out my battery operated fan, pointed it at the lady (who by the
way was playing one coin at a time), which pushed the cloud back in
her direction, she tured up her nose, and left.

I always take my casino survival kit with me, which includs the fan,
some wet wipes, a couple of cigars, two or three zip lock bags in
case I can get a trip to the buffet comped, and a couple of these
cute little drawing my grand children make to give the waitresses for
tips. (Those kids are such great little artists)

I'm inclined to agree. Unfortunately, in AC where I play the majority
of cigars have a tendency to smell like rolled horseshit. You'll
forgive me that having despaired on cigarettes every being banned from
casinos (except for designated areas), I think banning cigar and pipe
smoking is a no-brainer.

Plunkers are also in the deserving group to receive this treatment.

I think that's a bit harsh, although I would have been tempted when I
waited for a 1 credit player on an attractive machine to complete what
I thought would be typical short-attention span play and found that he
made it through 10 hours (with two brief breaks). As a whole, I
console myself that they keep the good plays in play.

You admit that you and a friend light up to drive away the person
between you. Isn't that admitting that cigars STINK?

I agree that button slappers can be annoying and that some women (and a few men) load up with enough cologne to make me sick. BUT - those do not cause second-hand lung cancer, emphysema, bronchitis and other ailments.
   I have smelled one or two very expensive cigars that did not have a godawful stink. I really don' t mind the smell of pipes, but would rather not sit near them for health reasons. If you lit up a cigar near me and the fan didn't take care of the smoke, I'd move.
   I hope you're gay (or have an extremely tolerant wife), because cigars are the best chick repellant I ever saw. :slight_smile:
