No one I know would be caught dead huffing on one A 3 dollar stogie maybe or real cigs.
I was thinking of a paint can scraping on the floor causing a spark when it ruptured.
With E cigarettes out of your purview, it was probably a poor joke on my part but only to further the fun Jon and TM51 started. There have been quite a number of LiPo batteries in E cigarettes spontaneously bursting into flames recently in peoples pockets and purses. Likely due to poor design and rash of poor quality LiPo's (poor QA on the polymer electrolyte and/or construction) coming from across the pond. They overheat due to internal shorts or too rapid charging or discharging and go off like a Roman Candle. Not necessarily funny as people have been seriously burned and hurt but the rain dance they do may be considered funny in some twisted circles.

The GIF of the guy getting off the subway was likely a hoax video, and a well done one imho, as I giggled out loud again today at it! Consider the relative size of the flames and explosion as part of the syllogism.

As for a cigar >$3; I consider a Macanudo Portofino a minimum, a Montecristo #2 torpedo as very good, and an optimum of a Bolivar Libertador - LCDH when I can get and afford them and usually imbibed with 20-40 year Presidential Port and some quality chocolate. Guess I've been caught dead, although never meeting in person...and have high hopes that I don't explode spontaneously now and be inclined to a spasmodic rain dance.

Been practicing my Johnsanese....
