take smokes home for summer, and face wrath of mom or...

**JStrider** · 04-28-2005, 12:34 AM

ok.. so ive been smoking 2-4 cigars a week all semester... the semester is almost over and I'm heading to my parents place for most of the summer...

ive got 2 main options...

leave the smokes with a friend that i trust to keep an eye on the humidity and not smoke very many... ive got a couple friends that would be willing to do this for me...

or

I can take the smokes home with me... my dad will take the attitude of "everything in moderation/ theres worse things you could be doing" and my mom would be extremely mad... my sister who is about to leave for college doesnt think my mom would be very upset... I disagree...

i just cant decide... what do y'all think i should do with my smokes for my summer break?

SEND THEM TO ME:
63 Ridge Road
Chaplin, CT 06235

LMAO, of course that's the obvious answer you're going to get from all the clowns here but since I was the first to post it, I think you should send them TO ME!!!

**QuietC** · 04-28-2005, 12:38 AM

take them home with you! Let her know atleast cigars are 100% tobacco and dont contain weird as$ chemicals like cigarettes or fiberglass like "chew"

**Bkcloud114** · 04-28-2005, 12:44 AM

Don't send them to CC...... He'll do nothing but smoke them......

Send them to me, I'll keep an eye on them....... LOL

Take them home with ya.... stand up for yourself against your Mom

Unless you think she'll get mad, in that case leave em at school....

**JStrider** · 04-28-2005, 01:26 AM

yah...send them to you guys... that sounds like a great idea...

i'm thinkin i'll bring em home... but give my dad a heads up before hand so he can help me formulate a better defense other then "theres worse things i could be doing"

**BigMacFU** · 04-28-2005, 01:43 AM

Strideman,

The best way to get an in is to take them home, but buy a 5-pack sampler to bring home to pops and introduce him to why you enjoy the hobby. If he's smoking with you, there's little mom can do, especially cause she'll see it as a great bonding point for you and him.

Best

P.S. What school?
P.S.S. Never mind, Texas Tech, Go Knight!

**Drake** · 04-28-2005, 08:08 AM

call your mom and tell her you're getting kicked out of school for smoking pot and then tell her you're joking, but that you've started smoking cigars.

**Cigar Jack** · 04-28-2005, 01:46 PM

How many cigars do you have to take home?

**jaewing** · 04-28-2005, 01:55 PM

CC . . . LMAO

You said what I was thinking when I read the first post.

Jstrider . . . how old are you? Are your parents paying for college? If so then keep the folks happy and leave them at home. Possibly bring it up casually when you are there and get a better feel for your mother's reaction.

Sure send Dad a sample pack and you will both be in the hot seat with mom

Also a couple suggestions . . .

How well do you know your local tobacconist? I am sure that if I told my guy that I was going out of town for a month or so and needed to borrow or rent some humidor space he would be happy to accomodate me - even though he does not provide this as a normal service.

Do you have a humidor? If so buy some Humi-Care or some of those beads. I believe (and someoen please correct me if I am wrong) that once charged that they will last for a couple months without issue. I am not sure if keeping the Humi closed for that long will cause some additonal problems - a good question for those here that are more knowledgeable.

Godd luck

**cockyhoskins** · 04-28-2005, 01:58 PM

Come on! You want us to believe that a red-blooded American college student can't figure out how to hide a small humidor the size of a bread box from his mother for a few weeks? Just put them with your porn, weed, liquor and everything else you have managed to hide from your mother for the past 10 years.

**jaewing** · 04-28-2005, 02:22 PM

lmfao Cocky

haha yah i dont know if my humidor will fit in the AC vent where i used to keep my porn and alcohol

shoot my lil brother might have it all filled up... lil punk took over my room...

my dad said just bring it and dont mention it and if she turns it into something we'll deal with it and if not we'll enjoy some cigars in peace...

**hex1848** · 04-28-2005, 04:34 PM

Sounds like it could turn into some good father/son bonding. Your Pop's smoke?

**wrath186** · 04-28-2005, 04:50 PM

If she really has a rabid hatred of smoking then you're probably best served by leaving everything with a buddy. I had a girlfriend who would leave the lid to my box open all day when I wasn't home. Or if it's just the smell and the inconvenience of having it in the house try being more considerate by smoking outside and maybe even offering her one. I know a lot of women who are into cigars.

I second Drake's idea, that would be an absolute riot. In all seriousness, do what I do-tell your mother that you just collect them. Tell her it's like baseball cards for adults and that if you smoke them, then the value obviously decreases. When she finds butts around the yard, do what I do and blame it on your worthless brother in law from Kansas. This works very well for me, I haven't heard another health lecture in eight months since I've done this.

**JStrider** · 04-28-2005, 06:15 PM

my dad used to smoke a pipe occasionally when and for a little while after he got out...

i'm not sure why or exactly when he stopped... just that it was before I was born...

hahahahahahhahaha!

My mom was that gullible, too. When i was in 11th grade she found an ounce of weed in my room..I was able to convince her it was a bag of indian tea leaves that i was giving to my friend as a gift.

Had? as in past tense right? I think that might be grouds for throwing all her stuff on the lawn and changing the locks of the house.

Yeah, had. I'm also into motorcycles and she started to complain that I loved the bike more than her. She was right. I get to ride the bike all I want and it doesn't give me any lip. Wound up getting rid of the girl and buying another bike.
