  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Does your wife know....?

She has somewhat of a clue but not really. I won't fill her in on the details.

She wouldn't care but would look at me like I am crazy.

MY wife has no clue of how much I really spend on cigars and accessories. I have my Cigar of the Month club that goes right to the house but everything else gets shipped to work.

My wife is home when the mail runs so she knows all the packages I get. I have never put a cash value on the boxes and she doesn't ask. Of course, she's trying to get that nose job she has always wanted. So, it all works out.

Looks like this has been bumped...

No, I intercept about half the other half she see and half of those I clam are bombs (thanks for the excuse guys)

I think I have about worn her down and she just ends up shaking her head...

The question in my house DO I know what she spends on cigars. Her and one of her friends went on a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas and let me tell you. She brought back several Cuban Cigar and here is the kicker. TOLD me Im not to smoke them because SHE spent alot on them. Still to this day I have no idea what she spent.

Ha! Funny thread, nice topper.

My decent into the sickness ;) is still in the infancy stage. So right now when packages arrive she's still pretty easy going and okay with it.

Yesterday one arrived and she was like "MORE cigars?!" but she had a smile on her face so I think it's still all good. I think it helped when I showed her it was the butane I was expecting last week....

I do have 2 more packages arriving late this week or early next week....If they show up on Monday I'm golden cause I get home before her that day and can intercept the mail. :yes:

All in all, I think she's on board with the hobby for now.... come to think of it, last weekend we were at a family function (her side) where she was telling everybody how she bought me a humidor and now I'm obsessed with buying cigars....get this, you guys'll get a kick out of this one, she said: "He's got like 75 cigars!!!" As in, she can't imagine needing to have 75 all at once....





sheesh. Maybe I AM in trouble....

Later!

Pretty funny, but this is where a lot of folks are at. Just gently correct her and explain the 75 count humidor is your smoking stash. The larger storage unit is full of boxes and offer to show her.

I currently have my 2 coolerdors, my desktop, and my 2 large travel humidors at the GF's apartment cause I spend all my time there. It's not so much that she's mad about how many cigars I have, but more about how often I smoke them. Which is bullshit, cause I smoke maybe 4 times a week at most.
I'm getting a house soon and I'm building a walk-in. It's gonna be sweet. Prolly build it on a small (like 2") platform and make it so I can take it down with relative ease cause I'll move when college is over.

Take Steve's advice, it works wonders
Does that make him Stevie Wonder?????

When my wife get's that funny "You bought MORE cigars" look, I just calmly say "Baby I could go back to bourbon like the good ol' days". The LOOK turns to a big grin as she sweetly replies " I think I see room for a few more boxes in your cabinet.......... Should I turn the computer on for you?

Works every time.
