The Emotional Component to the Cigar Life or

[tone-ny]

Well this has been much in the news lately with a recent thread and has filtered into quite a few others.

So a little contest to show me what it means to feel about ones cigars. I know real men and women for that fact are not ones to show their emotions but please opine about such.

The rules are simple please make sure you have been here at least 90 days from today. Have not had a fit of asshatery or anything similar in the last 90 days. That goes for the older members! Remember I do know how to use the search functions. Please post a short 15 word or less on what emotional attachment you have with your cigars.

All this must be accomplished by Saturday, 11:59 PM EDT.

I will open the vault and part with an emotionally charged set of cigars from the vault.

Good luck to you all!

Almost as much adoration as my children, except my cigars won't date losers or wear baggy pants. :laugh:

Thanks for the generous contest!!


Edit to add thank you.

For me, this quote by George Burns says it all:

Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman -
or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.

My cigars bring peace
More precious than a beedog
No tears as they burn

I don't want to waste top shelf cigars on my untrained pallet. So I bomb.

Thanks for the input, which I like.

I can't consider this one as the 90 day rule is in effect.

Double Coronas and Diademas compensate for my lack of manhood.

Second hand smoke may indeed be bad for my kids, but the first hand smoke saves them daily.

Id marry em. Can't ever say "no," great to look at, lasts for hours.

I have not yet acquired that cigar to cause me any emotional attachment. Always looking.

I think I have had a long enough period of time in between any asshatery fits. Search is my friend and lets see HMMMMMMMMM. Yep, Aug 22 2007. Again thanks guys for such a great place to share this hobby of ours and thanks for the contest.

Edit: wait, 15 words? Damn...
