How did Purrito earn his nickname?

Per Wikipedia:

"His nickname in the professional peloton is Purito, Spanish for little cigar, a name he was given in an early season training camp during his first year as a professional with ONCE-Eroski. When some of his teammates stepped up the pace on a small climb, he passed them making a hand gesture appearing to be smoking a cigar, suggesting he was climbing without much effort. The gesture was not welcomed by his teammates, who made him smoke a real cigar as a hazing ritual later in the evening"

I did a browser translate on a web page containing Purito's name and the translation was "itching".

Stage 16 - Still flogging the dead horse that is Rodolfo Torres, plus Bart de Clerq and... Frank Schleck!

Is this the stage where he's in a break, everyone thinks 'he's no threat, the beak gets 45 minutes and he wins the GC

The only scorer on today's double point stage was Mr Berk on his Bike, who managed an astounding 1st and 2nd place to propel him into first place

@Berk on a Bike now on 241 points and everyone else as we were.
