USB Cigar Puts Your Laptop One Martini Away From Benderhood

We appreciate a good electronic cigar, but we never imagined that we could roll our own with USB storage.

Over at Instructables, there’s a step by step on boring a cigar, treating its surface, and then loading it with a fiery LED along with a USB stick. The result is a classy cigar USB dongle that can possibly lead to computer mouth/throat cancer. But don’t feel bad for your laptop, it’ll turn obsolete well before its needlessly induced nicotine addiction claims its life. So you’ll thoughtlessly drop your computer in a retirement home (a landfill disguised as a recycling centre) from where it will spend the rest of its days doing its damnedest to poison you back.

    USB electronic cigars are readily available as a substitute for the real thing. They're available with batterys, but also with a USB cord.
    They use liquid with nicotine and vaporize so it's similar to smoking. . .

    But . .

    BETTER!

    Personally I use e-cigarettes and have several that plug into USB for power.

    I stopped smoking the very same day I started "Vaping".

    @Xeno: Forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest, or so I hear from certain southern governors. ;)

    If your laptop does get cancer, it can always go find the nearest suicide booth.

    "Oooh. Good choice."

    @Curves: Cuban cigars are overrated. They are good but not noticeably better than other good cigars. They are only sought after because of the forbiddenness.

    I'll make my own USB cigar! With Blackjack, and hookers! Y'know what, forget the Blackjack!

    Is it Cuban? Is it legal? Do I have to cross to Canada to get one legally? Would I really want one? No, definately not.

  • VenomIreland

    @VenomIreland: Don't answer that...

  • VenomIreland

    @Darwinist: Well what else would you put in it?

    This is actually one of the more creative gimmicks and that ain't saying much.

    On a side note, did anybody have those magic cigars as a kid where you suck on the end and the tip lights up? I've always wanted one of those :(

    Bender is most commonly pictured with a cigar and beer, not a martini. I would have gone with "...one intern away from Clintonhood"

    So wait. Someone hollowed out a cigar and the best thing they could think to put in it was a glowing USB stick?

    Does it come with a fake mustache you can wear while using it?
