Life as a cigar smoker

[sepp]

4. I'm always thinking, "Will my package be there when I get home?"

4.5 Get's moody when there's nothing in the air so there can be no package...

[CanuckSARTech]

LOL. All agreed, and so true!!!

[PigFish]

I will venture out on a limb, a broad limb, to say the following. Comparing the genetic makeup of many an extreme cigar enthusiast one would likely find that there exists a gene that dictates extraordinary tastes, both physical and otherwise, a characteristic for good conversation as well as augment, a lust for the sublime, charisma, a herd mentality and tendency to fraternal behavior, and shall I say it... an admiration of big ****!!! -LOL

Cheers, Piggy

Here here on the **** front.

Isn't it a wonderfull world where people with diametrically opposing views on politics can unite over a large set of chuds.

[NorCalAaron]

Thats about on par with me as well. It is a powerful hobby.

What say our female members?

Sounds familiar, but I'd change the order a bit:

1. Wake up in the morning thinking of what I will smoke that night.

2. Go to sleep thinking what I will smoke in the morning.

3. I'm on FOH daily, mulitple times, when I never belonged to a forum before.

4. Have thoughts of cigars at least 5 times a day. (sadly, I know it's more than that)

5. Can't remember important dates, but I can recall all the CC's I have smoked and whether I liked it or not.

6. Have more cigars than I can smoke, but still look around online for new ones....daily.

7. Always anxious about being questioned by wife, "How much was that box of cigars?"

8. I'm always thinking, "Will my package still be there when I wake up?"

12) Using empty boxes as kindling to start the fireplace.

Don't have to worry about the weather or wife. I smoke inside when cold & the wife doesn't mind cigar expenses. I take care of her very well.

What say our female members?

After reading the various replies, including my own out loud to Lady Piggy; while understanding that she is not a member here Ross, she wholeheartedly concurs with my sentiments.

By the way Ross, when did you start becoming so politically correct?

Lady Piggy... Harley chic, cheap sunglasses and big ****! -LOL

[Colt45]

By the way Ross, when did you start becoming so politically correct?

What you decree to be political correctness, I consider simple respect and common courtesy.

[El Presidente]

Lady Piggy... Harley chic, cheap sunglasses and big ****! -LOL

Ray..How did you score such a hottie

Point well taken, my friend, forgive the friendly jab! So do you like big **** or not, oh courteous one? -LOL

Rob... she has poor judgement and since I don't drink she does not see me as a competitor for the wine budget! I lay no claim to having strong points beyond my passion for cigars and good humor. -Oink

[mbrody]

I'm part of the club, with a few exceptions here and there. One topic that Piggy brought up, they really don't have to be big for me to admire.

[cigcars]

*From one of the female members on the forum - yes, AGHAST!!! What do you MEAN!!!?? HOW can you do it!? What do you MEAN using those precious boxes as kindling!!!?

[PigFish]

Ray..How did you score such a hottie

Oh and Rob... she would love you mate! She would be in your lap in a few hours. Just ask our mutual friend from Dubai!!! She loves all my visiting dignitaries especially after a few glasses of wine!

I was gonna' post a pick but I don't want to incriminate our mate with any seedy digital history!!! -LOL

[cigcars]

*Next, in answer to the statement about opening the boxes several times a day just to savor the aroma...actually, my BROTHER is the one who does this regularly! He is an ex-cigarette smoker and loves opening the humidor lids admiring my collection. He says he would try a cigar, but he is just fixated on that he will inhale, no matter what I school him on and try educating him about - that you don't inhale, just puff. No can do, says he'll inhale, so he just doesn't partake.

*(thought you were gonna hear me regale about them "****" didn't you!)

[CanuckSARTech]

DAMN, Mazola!!! You might have just given me ammo for a great new signature line! LOL. THAT should be our new forum tag-line!

What say our female members?

Ooooooh. Touche.

LOL. P'wned!!!!!

[Van55]

I recognize all of those symptoms (except I know my "package" is always safely attached). I concluded I was addicted when I realized that I was evaluating every damned prospective purchase in terms, not of US Dollars per se, but of boxes of cigars. E.G. that new dishwasher is 2 boxes of Cohiba Esplendidos!

[Leopolis Semper Fidelis]

I would ask the shrink if he had given any thought to seeking proffessional help,to help his tendancy to over analise!!

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

Yep,me too,now when's that package due...?

Shrinks are the craziest ones around, anyhow. Apparently, more of that occupation commit suicide than any other group.

I do the same. They're great for that purpose. What else should one do with a whole pile of cigar-less boxes?

Build a throne? I think guy posted a pic of a pile of empty boxes in a corner that almost touched the ceiling.

I'd take out #6 (my wife is not a nagger and is pretty supportive of my cigar habit).

But I would add

-- have to constantly resist the temptation to open the humidor several times a day just to smell and look even when I'm not going to smoke.

Oh yes, that smell

[asuavea1]

Ok, given the responses to this post looks like I'm normal.......for the most part

[thechenman]

Wait...you mean this is considered abnormal behavior?

[Jesuscookies]

The best part is trying to explain these behaviors to your "normal" friends.

And piggy gets a "harump" for the big tata's
