How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

I ordered a new phone because I dropped and broke my old Motorola. I had already given the missus a heads up that my cigar order would be arriving soon. In comes the phone in an 8 x 6 x 6 box. Wife says, Cigars? I said, "phone." "Are you sure? It says Olva on the side."
"that's a shipping code prefix. If it was my cigars, the box would've been four times that size."
I got 'the look'. Time to go.

I had a witty reply but you got 'the look',
so you're already busted.

Chemyst :cool2:

Once you get the look, it's just best to get lost.:D

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

Or a P.O. box:)

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

yup. P.O. box. or ship to a coworkers house. :)

It rarely works, but I usually tell her buying cigars is cheaper than dropping fifty bucks at a bar and waking up with a splitting headache.

Was it the eye or was it the Stink Eye?

If the latter...forget about it.

Nothing wrong with it! Guys have vices, just like most women with shoes, shopping, getting manicures etc. If you're not out boozing and gambling away your retirement....I see nothing wrong with spending a little cash for a quality smoke from time to time. It's a great hobby, the tobacco is so much healthier than disgusting cigarettes, and man, it sure is a great way to spend a couple hours with some buddies!

Ha....I know the feeling. I have been working on the road for the last month, and unfortunately while in my hotel room alone and board I tend to shop.....! to date the wife has stacked 5 boxes(i think) for me when I return home. She has stopped questioning me about them. She just says in our nightly call " oh by the way you got another box today...." that "TONE" is there, however i'm not sure how that "TONE" is going to be when she gets the next 5 boxes I just ordered this weekend. :confused::sl

"Too many?" What is this strange language? I do not comprehend it.

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

I think it translates to; Time for a larger humidor,coolidor,wineador or.....

Too many cigars= Too few of humidors

When the credit card machine says "declined".

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

I know that look, next time have it marked Radio Active, that should keep her away

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

Yeah, I got one of those looks when the wife found a receipt from CI. Now I shred those.

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

Well Clayton..... At least she JUST gave you the look, and nothing worse!!! Let me know if you need a place to crash. I know I'm 2 hours away, but it's better than sleeping in a car! :)

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

I'll refrain from explaining to her that I bought 400 bucks worth for about 218. I don't think she'll 'get it'. I no longer frequent the B&M due to chronic douchebaggery so I go the only local all smoking sports cafe, play Buzztime poker and sip on a drink. No use explaining how much money is saved buying on line as compared to the former B&M. :D

So.... K still being a arsehole? A zebra doesn't change it's stripes, does it!!!!

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

She's not too angry especially since I never discuss amounts. She has her habits, too. Every time I come home, there's a new flower arrangement, knick knack or piece of decor stuffed in our home. I'll leave her to hers so long as she leaves me to mine.

We still need to hook up at Vitolas or somewhere in Birmingham.

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

This. :tu

And this. :tu

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

Just make sure you order her something nice and when it shows up in a small box and she thinks its more cigars..have her open it and enjoy a nice gift from you! She'll love it. :)

There's a man who knows how to keep his woman happy (and guessing). :D

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

Just Go "1 Month" Without Buying Any Sticks And You Get, "I See You're Not Buying Any Cigars This Month".:D

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

I think this is about the best answer possible to the question! It's really a matter of perspective when you put it like that....

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

My wife let's me know, with every delivery. :D
Ignorance isn't necessarily a bad thing. ;)

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

This is what I'm doing right now. Not really because she complains about me buying cigars, just trying to get ahead of the game. :r

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

I changed this to a more realistic time period!:D

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

"How do you know when you've bought too many?"

When your vendor ships you 80 boxes of Backwoods.

Oh, uuhm, hi Dice...

Enough is NEVER enough... -(P

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

its all relative...my wife can spend way more than a box of smokes cost in a matter of seconds.

try this...

i get to go to havana to shop for cigars...stop buying cigars online...internet cigar shopping (for me)is just not right...its all in the window shopping/sniffing fresh boxes and some friendly banter with the people in the smoke shop that you stalk in.

10 or 15 boxes twice a year seems to be acceptable to judy...

Re: How do you know when you've bought too many?
 

I'll stop buying cigars on-line when I can bring back 10 boxes from Havana, Derrek. :)
