My ex-boyfriend, without my knowledge, put his burning cigarette under the water of his pool while he was hugging me and held it against my leg. All of a sudden I felt something stinging my leg and got out of the pool to find a raw red spot on my leg. I remember him saying a few minutes later that his cigarette got wet at the pool. Later I figured it out. Has anyone ever heard of putting a cigarette underwater and holding it long enough against the skin for the insides of the cigarette which are still burning to touch skin before the water puts it out?

If the cigarette was placed totally under the water, it would immediately extinguish completely and cool to the point where it could not burn you. You must have lifted your leg slightly out of the water and touched the tip of the cigarette or scrapped your leg against something on the side of the pool or something he was wearing.

Nevet heard anything about that, but i doubt that it is possible to keep the cigarette hot, or even burning when it gets wet.
