You got BUSTED
If you find any really good deals, I'm sure we can work out some kind of trade.
good thing for you that I only have your office address, I've been known to throw gasoline on a fire![]()

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't get a letter from OFAC.
I feel your pain though.![]()
Well, I have a similar ban, purchase-wise. Money's tight, and the wife is cracking down a bit. But I am lucky in that she doesn't mind me smoking cigars, and even has one herself once in a while.![]()

You know, if you're in a financial crunch, then everyone should do their part. And, IMO if you're spending too much on cigars then you're in violation. BUT, if the budget is not too bad and I mean like not in bankruptcy, and she is still on your ass, then let me suggest, she is also investing a few clams on some luxury items. Dude, you don't have a chance at the sneaky game. Women have a natural ability that you will never match.
Good Luck
Man, I just tell my wife off if she tries that with me. I ask her how much money she spent on cartons of cigs during the 14 years we were married before I started smoking cigars. Nuff said - I have a lot of catching up to do.
There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
I whore myself out to upper east side old women to pay for our luxuries, my wife is cool with it, they mostly just want foot rubs and conversation.

Not a matter of financial "crunch", all the bills stay paid and the wifey does as she pleases. Nor is a matter of the wife objecting to me smoking cigars. She just used to take my "Boy, this is a great deal and I need these for my humi so I'll have a great variety" at face value......because she really had no concept of how many, and how many different cigars I already had. That bubble has now burst and I must further the wife's education on why it is necessary to have lots and lots of different cigars......and lots and lots of the ones you really like......and lots and lots that you can give to friends and not miss.......etc.....
Ya'll know what I'm talking about.
Women understand "on sale". I too like to buy cigars on sale or some other special price.
Women understand "variety". Just check out some of her collections.
Those two are easy, however, "lots and lots" could be an issue. I like to buy ahead and let them age a while in my humi. I feel this is a necessary step and so the majority of my cigars are aging and will be consumed in due time.
Some cigars are not always available. Buy them when they are available because the price will most likely go up next time around.
Cigars will never loose their value. What, the life of a well kept cigar could be 50 years? Oh, I wish I had some 1958 Dunhills in my humi.
Lastly, explain to her that you intend to seek help for your obsessive-compulsive disorder.
I hear ya I haven't been able to buy a box of cigars in a good bit.
The picture of Jamie trying to stuff cigars in his cooler with the wife waving the AMEX bill is pretty funny. You guys all gave him some good advice, but Jamie, its just a matter of time before the perfect storm hits again. You need your own Credit Card, with a bill that goes to the office, not the house. And you probably need a storage unit too.
The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown
