Lit cigar
From A KoL Wiki
lit cigar
Like other cigars in this game, this one is just a cigar. Unlike other cigars in the game, this one is lit. You know, like your uncle at Thanksgiving, when he won't stop telling dumb jokes and pinching your mom's butt?
Or maybe that's just me.

When Used
- Before Crimboween:
|
| You hold up the lit cigar, take a puff, and blow a square smoke ring. It hangs in the air like a window, and through it you can see what looks like a tropical island. Suddenly, Uncle Crimbo reaches through the window and grabs the cigar! "Thanks, kid," he says. "You're on the right track." |
- During or after Crimboween:
|
|
| You take a puff from the cigar, and break into an uncontrollable coughing fit. This cigar is old and stale! You pitch it into the gutter. |
Notes
- Before Crimboween, but after December 3, 2006, adventuring at Simple Tool-Making Cave or resting at your campsite after using this item gave you the option to visit Crimbotown Right-About-Now, as part of the Save Uncle Crimbo! quest.
References
- The current use message is possibly a reference to the George Burns film Oh, God!, and its two sequels.
- Sigmund Freud is reported to have quipped, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." However, it is unlikely that he ever said this.
- The part of the item description that refers to your rambunctious uncle is a pun on the slang usage of "lit" to mean "embarrassingly drunk."
