Rather alarming occurrence while smoking...thoughts?

Sorry to hear about that...pretty bad when it gets to the point where you're concerned about getting burned. I imagine this will draw some interesting responses from Gurkha lovers/haters. Not sure why it would just go up in flames like that though....

Check the band again. Sure it wasn't a God of Fire?

That was actually a thought I had...whether it had maybe hit a dried beetle egg...

Air pocket (spot of missing tobacco. Maybe some tobacco (Binder/Filler) fell out with ash in your lap igniting the wrapper)? Just a guess.

I would say no to the beetle egg because we smoke them all the time!!

It must have been a hell of a flame to reach the hair on the back of your head! LOL

The "backdraft" theory makes sense to me.

+1 to this... The draw was fine, almost a bit loose. The ash was not very long...no more than an inch. The backdraft theory seems the most viable though.. In any case, it definitely tripped me out.

Stop eating burritos before smoking your cigars. Sounds like you hit a methane pocket.

Are you sure someone wasn't playing a trick on you and stuck a match in there? The back draft theory makes some sense but the tar the that is has built up is very unlikely to combust in any manor similar to the such. The tar build up is also why the cigar is more likely to to go out when you are closer to the end of the smoke or atleast go out more quickly. This is really strange and I really don't have any explaniation. Wish you had it on video.

Yeah Hays who did you get the stick from? I wish you would have gotten it on tape too! I bet you were moving pretty fast after you ashed on your pants and almost set your hair on fire.
