Let me start off by saying that this entire post is merely to vent to other cigar smokers. I’ll give a little background before I delve into the story so that everyone can understand where I’m coming from. I have, CORRECTION, I had a really nice humidor fully stocked with goodies from numerous companies including a good amount of sticks from a recent newb sampler trade. The humidor was great and the sticks were always perfect.
Now back to the current situation, for the last 3 months I’ve been living with my ex-girlfriend because we signed a lease together but recently separated. Last week I found a place to move into and I was excited, apparently she did not share my excitement. I went to Greensboro all last week for work and came home on Friday night. Oddly enough, she wasn’t at home when I got there, she also had responded to any of my calls or text messages while I was out of town. A note was pinned to the front door. The note simply said “Fuck you”.
As I entered the house I found that the house that I rented with her for the past 3 years was torn to shreds. There was a kitchen knife sticking out of my mattress, my sheets were shredded, there was a makeup case impaled in my TV (a new TV at that). After calling the police and discussing with them the situation and potential legalities associated with the damage I found out that because we shared a joint home and were together for over 5 years, I couldn’t bring her up on any charges.
After standing up the entertainment center that had been flipped and cleaning up the shattered glass from all the mirrors and pictures in the house, I decided it was a perfect time to enjoy a cigar. I readied my glass (thankfully she didn’t shatter all the glasses), went to the bathroom sink where I stash an extra bottle of scotch just in case (she had taken all the others), and prepared myself a drink. After enjoying a scotch immediately and getting another I went to my humidor and found… you guessed it! NOTHING
She had stolen my entire humidor, all my ashtrays, my lighters and even my cheap $2 cutters. She knew that to hurt me the most she could take the humidor and really screw up my night. The bitch won’t respond to me about anything. She is completely moved out of the house in fact and I have no idea where she could be. I partially moved into my new apartment on Saturday, but without a celebratory cigar from the stash that I’ve been keeping for a year now, it seemed a little bit less exciting than it should have.
In the long run, I need to buy a new humidor and start to fill it again. I guess that there is a silver lining in everything, at least I get to keep searching on the devil site for more cigars, my humidor was getting a little cramped.
So lesson learned and hopefully if you are ever in the same situation you will remember this incident. Don’t EVER leave your humidor at home with a women scorned. Thanks for letting me vent, I needed to do it somewhere where people would understand the anger and frustration that I’m dealing with right now, and amazingly it’s mostly because of my humidor. Everything else is replaceable and will be purchased again in the long run. It’s just the fact that the bitch knew right where to hit me where it would sting the most.
On a side note, I will not be able to finish my mega review as the Kinky Friedman and LFD were in that humidor. Fucking BITCH!
