When do you own a box?

Shading is just for presentation.
Many boxes, in spite of color segmentation have various shades within it.
In fact, many boxes have had one shade on the top row with yet a different shade on the bottom row.

Obviously, this is a truism. And, were I to say "I just bought 3 boxes of Punch Rotschilds, you'd assume I have 150 cigars."

However, were I to say, "I bought 3 boxes of cigars last month - one Punch Rothschilds, one Oliva O Coronas, and one AF Chateaus." One may or may not assume they are still full. However, I have the boxes - they are in my humidor - and some are more full than others. Do I have boxes of those cigars? Yes! With the cellophane off, most who would look into my coolerdor would assume they are not full boxes.

If people come into my garage, they will see many cigar boxes, but they assume they hold many things other than cigars.

And, when I go to sell cigars, I'd say, "I have a box 11/20 of Oliva O Rothschilds for $XX.00." Or, "I have a full box of Oliva O Rothschilds for $XX.00."

I think we could be straining at grammatical gnats here. Most would define what they mean by "a box of cigars" as they state it.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

After careful thought, I want to thank all in this thread.
I feel confident I can now face my wife and make a solid argument why I need to buy more cigars.
Clearly, I now understand that I don't have the number of boxes she sees and thinks I have. What I have is half of what she thinks I have, which is twice as many as she cares to see.
So.....I will either be back around soon posting, with an accumulated true number of boxes of cigars as has now been clearly defined OR I will be dead somewhere. If the latter, please note it was my wife that did it.

My wife happened to call me and I mentioned this to her.
Here is her response, as close as I can paraphrase it:

Well then, since you don't have that many boxes, that means you can shove them all up your ..... as they will fit better now.

I've alway been told to be careful of what you ask for, you might get it.

If a man speaks in the forest and his wife is no where around to hear him...is he still wrong??

That's one way to get the Cuban barnyard smell

A box of cigars is a box of cigars if it's full of the cigars that came in it.
If it's been opened, then it's a full open box of cigars.
If I sell a box of 2006 Anejos and some are 2005, it ain't a box of 2006 Anejos.
Once it's empty, it's just a box.
For me, it's time to get another box once the first one comes out. That way the others are getting ready for when the open box is getting smoked.
I'm not sure what MOBD is talking about, but if it's a train full of cigars, I get to cherry pick. I called it first.

25 sticks in the box = A box

24 sticks in the box = A partial box

And we can give it to Richard to use on a very cold Florida day.

What happens if the box is comprised of 24? 20?
Holy crap!!! A box that comes with 24 to begin with is thereby only A Partial Box?
Man, that complicates things even more now.

I was wondering who the first joker would be, Carlos...I shoulda figured.

[groogs]

I have to agree with Addiction, a box of cigars is a full box.

Glad to help out and not disappoint.
Man can I have fun with this one for a while.

If you disagree, I have a box of Escudos to sell you for $300.

There are only 4 cigars in it, but it's a box, right?




(I am not selling Cuban cigars, this is a inside joke / lame attempt at humor).

Now MOST of us would say he has 6 boxes, but Addiction is VERY specific in his wording and says he only has 5 boxes.

Is his math or wording correct?

If his wording is true, then I only have 3 boxes.

I tried using that Fuzzy Math with my wife
Yeah, she didn't buy it.

So, if I open a PSD4 box and consume 1 or 2 cigars, do I still have a box?

If I have a box of 25 cigars and I take one out I have a partial box of cigars, but if my wife sees me take the first cigar out of the box I have a question; "and when did you buy that one!"

Carlos you'll need to send those to me so I can confirm that it is not a box

Wish I could.
Not mine.
Found it on Google Images.

I have a feeling I am going to have fun with this thread.

Is an egg a chicken or is an egg not a chicken because it has yet to hatch? If a chicken is then born with one leg, since it does not have two, is it then not a chicken, or better yet, is it a Partial Chicken?

Does it matte what you call it as it won't be able to freaking walk over to you anyway?
Next,
What if that "whatever" goes to market, is bought and cooked. What does mom tell her family she cooked?
What if it had two legs, is cooked and someone eats one leg. No longer a chicken?

This is killing me!!!
I need to know!!!
