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

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.

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...

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...

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.

I say bring them home walk in and put them down on the table. When your mom freaks and starts yelling just close your eyes, put up your hand in the stop manner and calmly tell her to be quiet and go cook you dinner. That should take care of the cigar issue.
