In response to another thread, I stated that I thought the most frequently HEARD quote in our various homes was:

"Honey, I won't buy any more cigars"

Please ... be completely honest ... if you've never uttered that phrase or one very much like it, let us know who you are ... Rickamaven, we know you'll sign up below ... anyone else ???? ... honestly ????

THL hit the nail on the head, I've said that too many times to count. Last time was about a week ago and then I went and won another auction last night. I guess it's a good thing I've never clearly defined what "a while" means. A week counts as a while, right guys? :)

I believe my exact quote was: "I'm not going to be ordering any more cigars." [with the ending of the sentence left off]. The ending is: ...until I free up some space in my 'dors."

Guilty: Yes

LOL, I'm not fooling anybody with it either. My wife's standard reply is,"That's what you said last week."

2nd most frequently heard quote at my house is:

But, Steeeuheeeve !!! You don't NEED any more cigars!!"

Perhaps there's actually a tie for which is most frequent ... LOL

i actually went a couple of months earlier this year. and now i am about to run out of room in my humidor. and i just ordered a box of punch punch. maybe after that one i will hold off a while. but i actually promised my wife once that i would not buy any cigars for 6 months ( man, that was a long 6 months) but it did give me time to work on inventory.

Why yes I have used that phrase. As a matter of fact I've used it when I met the Queen of England. Perhaps you've met my wife? Morgan....Morgan Fairchild....yeah, that's the ticket!

Nope, never said it, never will.

She is always saying something....or I think it's something about my cigars. Can't really understand it. It sounds kind of like a cross between a weedwacker and Charlie Browns teacher.

Waaah waah wah WEEEEEEEEAAAA nanananananah...cigars! nananaaaweeeeeeEEEEEEEEEAAAAA!

My line is "I will only buy cigars that are really good deals." So now I underbid everything but bid on more lots, it works out to about the same. I just have to intercept the UPS guy so she doesn't find out.

Sorry Steve, I buy cheap cigars in bulk and expensive ones rarely so:

Mine is uttered while curled up in a ball on a cold bathroom floor, after leaving homage to the porcelin god:

I will NEVER drink again! If I live through this night.

...not yet, honest. I get the "Don't you think you have enough cigars." look, but frequently when a box arrives, my wife opens it, unwraps the cello and places each cigar in one of the humidors. I don't buy myself much. And I put in a lot of work around the house (just finished redoing the fireplace and mantle). Cigars (last night a Ashton Maduro #40 and pint of Guiness) are one way I reward myself. I don't think she expects me to work without rewards. Begrudging me that expense would be the same thing.

Well, I am still new to the CBid game, so I have not had to say it yet. However, my first order was pretty big and my wife certainly indicated that I should not need to buy for a while. Unfortunatly, the more I read from you guys, the more types of cigars I want to try. My wife is actually supportive of me taking the time to smoke, which I do nightly after I get the kids to bed.

I recently bought a new humidor, told my wife I was running out of room. She smiled and said, I could be up to much worse things.

I'am so lucky, now to fill up the new humi.

I made an effort not to buy any until 2003 and then Bucanero shows up with the little Christmas thank you. Boy, it's getting harder to explain any delivery. Maybe I can open a P.O. Box just for specials that the postman will deliver to.

I don't have to say it. It's hard to keep buying cigars when you have no money.

"Look honey, you got another box of frigging cigars."
"Are you done buying these? You hardly smoke any." (little does she know I'm a master of hiding the smell)

never even thought about not buying more cigars. i still have a few of the leyendas i bought here a few years ago that i have turned into acids, and when they are gone, the el gozo's will be ready.

remember i just got 250 cigars about a month ago, and i have opened the last of the four humidors filled with la finca's.

no one ever left this earth wishing he had spent more time at the office, or wishing he had bought less cigars.

My wife doesn't care, but my two daughters always bring it up after I start complaining (bitching is a better word) about their salon bill. They are very savy in pointing out that I spend way more on cigars than they do on highlighting their hair every 3 months!

Daughters 19 and 17 always find their fathers weakness!

this would be a good time to point everyone to the formula, as derived from steve s. on how to make sure your wife is always ok with your purchases. thanks steve for this handy dandy way to insure staying alive another year.

Wow, alot of these replies sound so familiar! I've heard the "Joe, you don't neeeeeeed any more cigars" I've said "Ok honey,I won't buy anymore cigars" I have even used the excuse that "oh, I didn't buy more cigars! These are replacements for cigars that I got that wear stale" Whatever needs to be said to keep the peace!!

Close, but no cigar (where did that saying come from anyway?)...

I've said, "honey, I won't talk to all those damned cigar smokin' men on Cbid anymore"...

Yeah, right...

We both have our monthly (internet, cash) budgets. As long as we stay on or below then everything is fine. I like hearing, "You have a package from that CI Fulfillment place." Recieved a box of Oliva 'O' Maduros last week. She saw the unique box and couldn't believe there would be cigars in it.
