I haven't had a cigar in 13 days...help!

OHRD · 10-19-2010, 07:58 AM

We are in the middle of moving into a new home and I've spent every night for the last 5 days painting. Before that, I was busy with a huge work project for 4 days, and before that, I was sick for 4 days. It's been 13 days since I had a cigar! H-E-L-P!!!

I've got to paint the rest of this week as well, and I can't smoke inside...I'm thinking firing up a small cigar for the ride between homes, but it's only about 5-8 minutes...any other ideas for sneaking one in? Lunch breaks are tied up meeting contractors...

Dude! Wake up early....give yourself about an hour. Make a great cup of coffee and just step outside with a small smoke! The Tat Petit Cazadores and Verocu #5 are pretty good little smokes. I hope this helps!!

Screw the painting, cigars are more important.

Take an evening off, my friend. After dinner, smoke something meaty, LFD Chisel or the like, something that'll stick with you. I think you'll find your productivity will be greatly improved.

Time to break in the new garage. I'm sure it could use a coat of paint, No?

Yes, the garage has been targeted. Added a propane heater to my Christmas list! Haven't lived in a home w/ an enclosed garage in 5 years!

i like John's idea.
finish a room and go out to the garage and enjoy your new home w/ a short smoke

Just fyi, enclosed garages trap the smell if its full of stuff or has any cloth anywhere. Some of the smell gets into the house too, I just stick to the balcony or backyard

Open a window or door... Use a fan to circulate the air.

Tried that, unless you're sitting in front of the fan, smell gets into the house, but then again, the seals on my doors probably aren't too high end! I would try it with someone in the house to see if they start smelling it, in which case you should gtfo, cause carpets hold the smell pretty darn well.

My advice, late night smoke, if I work, its always night shift, and it always ends at 10 or so, which means I usually smoke my 1 a day at 11 or so, I still get my 8 hours

Guys, I owe you one - all of you!

I did it, I broke the smokeless streak! Let me set the scene...

After a full day at work, and then 3 hours of painting, I put on a pullover, grabbed my favorite stick (El Triunfador), and headed to the back porch. Pure bliss!!! Didn't do a thing, but lay back in the chair and listen to the crickets. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Thanks for the support in a dire moment!!!
