Humidor Tetris is kinda like you re-arranging your water bucket collection to fit one more bucket on your veranda. ;)

Thought my wife was a keeper after 32 years until I come home and she tells me my cigars are taking up too much room.....

Maybe the load of custom rolls from the Cuba trip sitting in the freezer put her over the top :huh:

Of this I have no doubt!!

All this only because she has no idea how much money you're spending on them. ????

Oh she knows. She handles the bills. :) "It's OK honey." That keeps me in check...sort of :)

Mine checks on my fridges and recharges my beads as needed while I'm away

There have been a couple occasions where I've gotten a text saying (top draws were sitting at 58% and the beads were dry AF. When was the last time YOU checked them!?"

 

I should really wife her one of these days...

Yeah humidor/coolidor space is at max capacity right now. She had to do some serious finagling to get 4 boxes and the "cigar chalice" (box pass cigars) to fit in there.
She will have to do it again tomorrow too. I am desperately looking for a 150 qt. Cooler I can grab on the way home on Friday.

True Story: So my uncle Ralph asked my Uncle Mike (Head of the family--oldest of my dad's 9 siblings) if he could have his permission to get married. My uncle Mike said "But Ralph, you are ONLY 38!!!!"

Ok I'll translate. 

You have a cracker wife when...

the old girl makes a game of stacking 4 boxes of cigars and a giant "box pass (a bunch of people mail a box full of cigars around the country and swap cigars they want with other cigars of around equal value in the box, then send to next person--Tim happens to have one of these at his house)" into your humidor for you while you're working at a place not close to home.  Then she surprises you even more by sending pictures of this game she played while you were at the place of work not close to home for you to see.  

I love my wife (I am sorry but I am not sure this translates--I've been around married people from the US for over 1/3 of a century and I just don't get this part.)   

 Oh well I tried!!  

:D

(ii) usage in modern parlance:

(iii) but not this:

Just go to your local Container Store or Walmart and get a couple of 60 or 70 quart containers with the rubber seal and 6 clips to seal them shut. They keep the humidity in while only costing $16 each.

This is what I have done for the time being.

You guys are lucky. Mine hates me smoking cigars but tolerates it. Constantly gives me a hard time about it. We currently have settled at a couple cigars a week without me getting  too much heat. Shes a health nut and we have two very young kids

Tell her that husbands who enjoy a few cigars and alcoholic libations in moderation tend to be more healthy and HAPPY than those who don't. It's all about moderation.

Agreed, that's how we came to the two per week accommodation
