    Tenners, Twenties and Fifties. Which is best?

    On the tail of the tailor question.For lighting an expensive Cuban Cigar.

    I find that fifties tend to linger a little too long, the cheap paper of tenners too quick, but twenties seem to be just about right.

    I never have any twenties though as I only ever carry fifties but the bar staff normally have some change.

    I did try my black amex card but it just made a mess.

    You are Dim Prawn and I claim my lowly £5!!!
    I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

      You have to light your own cigars? ...tsk
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Surely there is a use for all those lower social orders to self-immolate in order to light ones cigar....

          £50s for me, since hardly anyone will accept them as legal tender.

              It is well known among the cognoscenti that $100 dollar bills are specially designed to be used for lighting cigars. It is also well known that one must maintain a harem of Cuban virgins to roll the cigars personally on their luscious thighs.

                Not being a smoker myself I can’t recommend which note, but I CAN recommend a visit to Cuba. There is a factory behind the Capitol building that does tours. For a few bucks or euros the locals will give you as much of the local wonger as you like to light your cigar.

                Recommend you get their before Castro dies as once he has gone it’s going to get a bit silly for a couple of years. Cuba is a fascinating place, but not for the shopping!
