makes you feel like you're having an affair doesn't it? Better get a P.O. Box or have them delivered to a friends house on the QT.

Listen, because of cigarbid I am on a first name basis with the UPS driver. "Hi Jim, how can you find time to smoke all these cigars?" I ask him to just leave the box on my porch without ringing the doorbell. Can't you just hear the theme from "Mission Impossible" playing? BE NICE TO YOUR UPS DRIVER!!!

...I have to admit I sometimes overbid a lot just to avoid the smaller "smiley" box, which is a dead give-away that I've been on that damn CBid Internet site again. However, I have to agree with jreddoch (not about the affair part) but think about having them delivered to a remote location, such as your local smoke shop (where they really love you and your habits).

I have my cigars delivered to my business, then during the evening I rearrange cigar boxes in the cabinet, telling my wife it's rotation time. Then when her and the kids are asleep I quickly bring in the cigar box(es) and put them in the space readied, and it only takes a few seconds. Then I go back to the garage and finish my cigar. Sometimes she does notice new boxes in there, but she probably only notices one out of every ten I put in there.

At my place, even if I've been lucky enough to have the delivery overlooked, the cc bill never is ... do your wives not notice the cc bills? or are you the only one who sees those?

The Porch thing would work except the dogs see/hear the damn truck and start announcing his arrival! Such is life!

Are we really fooling our wives, or are they thinking "this is good for a new pair of shoes at Foley's"?

Man,I'm not married but you guys got it tough I'll tell ya. When the SO finds out I got another package of cigars she'll usually call me at work to let me now it got there.Hmmmmmm? It could be the only reason she does this is to torment me, because all I can think about is what excuse will I use this time, to get off a little early.

Same as Jimbo. She calls, "you got another box you ****, I wish you would die."

I don't see a problem.

Steve, somebody else must have been using my credit cards, 'cause there's no way I could spend that much money on cigars! (I tried that one on the wife and it didn't work, oh well)Barry

are you guys all p***y whipped?

don't you think your wives know whats going on?

toby is no mother theresa and i'm no albert schweitzer, but i keep buying bookcases and making shelves for her barbies and beanies, and she removes the cellophane (i'm a cello off kind of guy)from the cigars before i put them in the humidifier.

perhaps you need family counseling like we did, to tighten up the partnership.

jreddoch is right... be nice to your UPS driver. In the most recent issue of the J.C. Newman "Wrapper" there was a picture of two UPS drivers smoking cigars... LMAO

My UPS driver is retiring next week after 38 years with them. I've got some special smokes set aside as a farewell gift.

I get the usual..."What's in the box....MORE cigars!"

Then I reply..."What's on your feet...ANOTHER pair of shoes!"

Then we don't talk for a week, we must have been made in heaven.

I posted the following to the 'Psychology of Cigars' thread and am reposting here to fix the screw up!

........................................


And another thing, I wouldn't relate your cigar purchases to your woman's shoe purchases. From a woman's standpoint, I'd compare your sticks to their sticks...lipsticks that is. It's a more realistic comparison.



My SHOES avg. $150.00 per pair while my LIPSTICKS avg. $12.00 each. Probably still slightly higher than your avg. per stick price but closer by comparison. Unless wifey poo is shopping at the Payless shoe store!



And just like in Fubar69's story of trying to find his cigar...we woman can never seem to find the right shade of lipstick either. I suppose for all of us, it's a lifelong mission!




BR>


I should add that IF she hassles you about yet one more box from CB, just waltz over to her cosmetic drawer or wherever she keeps her 'stuff' and start handling each and every cosmetic in there...SHE'LL SHUT UP IMMEDIATELY...TRUST ME...


.....................................


Hope this insight helps with your mission...

I have to say, reading this is really helping reduce my stress levels. It is good to know I am not alone in this. You people are too funny, in a scary and real sort of way.

If I had $5 for every time she's said "Steeeeve ... you don't NEED more cigars!!!" I'd be able to pay for about the next 4 or 5 months worth of shipments ... of course, I am quick to point out that (as some of you already know) that some of those cigars are for HER, but that doesn't help much ... I've begun asking every day when I get home "did I get more cigars today?" so that she'll see that there are a lot more days I don't get a shipment than days I do ... it doesn't really help too much, but ...

and as for Moreno and his "You people are too funny, in a scary and real sort of way" remark ... "YOU people" ... inasmuch as you're posting here, aren't you now one of the group?? ... which reminds me ... if you want to be an accepted member of the group, you should know that tradition here requires you to send a "welcome me to the group" cigar to EACH of us here ... don't send Lone Wolfs unless you want a bad rep ... send a cigar that will be indicative of who you are and what you want us to think of you each time we see your name, OK??? ... that way, when she says "Steeeeeve, you don't NEED more cigars, I can say, "well, this is one my new buddy Moreno sent ... it won't be on the credit card" ... (a BIG improvement in the moral at my place)

I've got an understanding with my wife. She lets me purchase cigars, and I let her cook and clean for me. I don't see what the big fuss is all about...

gater, I see I have something to learn from you ... she does the cleaning, but I do the cooking ... it's no damn wonder she's on me about the cigars ... with my latest buys due on the UPS wagon tomorrow or Fri, do you think I should call the house and tell her it's on her to cook dinner tonight???

Steve...point taken about the "You people..."
After I spend more time reading these, I may be able to throw in a wise-ass remark here and there myself.
