You must have been rushing, puffing way to fast, bet you were done that Cigar before Sun up.
Correction, just noted the time of your post, so unless you started watching at about Four PM, having finished that large Cigar before Midnight is near suicidal.
Sometimes it does take me a fairly decent time to smoke a Cigar once it's lit, but seldom any longer than the time spent puzzling over which end to light.
Reno's only trying to ensure that you'll be in tip top shape prior to the Cigarfest & Orgy II.
