Just Days till the Tobacco Ban

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

All Right, my town has adopted a smoking ban for all public facilities, with only minimum exemptions. I’m so done with my human rights dwindling down, I’m fed up. I do not apprehend why non-smokers have such a aggressive personal opinion on what we smokers want to do. I understand that smoking is harmful, but I made a conscience decision when I took up smoking, alert to the fact it was harmful. Just because non-smokers want me to give it up, doesn’t mean that it will happen. Smoking in bars has been a favor, but most restaurants provide a designated smoking room. If non-smokers do not want to be in the smoke, don’t sit in the smoking room, you are not forced to sit in smoking. And as far as the employees of these restaurants that argue they are affected by second hand smoke, I don’t believe it. I held jobs in the service industry for over 10 years, and I know that almost all of thepeople I worked with were smokers.  Doing business with people, always, compels you to puff.  Also, I have never overheard any non-smoking co-worker ever protest about smoking while working in the smoking room. Putting a smoking restriction in restaurants and bars, will only save me money, considering I will not go out after the first of the year.

All I want for Christmas: Cigars!

Friday, December 18th, 2009

I have decided this christmas to beg for easy presents that my wife can determine easily for me. My number one gift, as always, is my favored cigar from don-diego-cigars.com. My wife won’t even have to take leave of the home, she can go online (I have all my favorites sites saved) and place the order there. As far as anything else, she can take a trip to the nearest store and pick something up. She debates every holiday that I am totally baffling husband to shop for. But we have been inseperable for almost 15 years! And if she doesn’t realize the things I like by now, I just don’t know. I always mention every holiday, “get me smokes”, I puff on 1 or 2 in a day, and that adds up. I own a humidor for holding my smokes, “what’s that for?” my love inquires. Well my beloved, it’s to keep my cigars crisp. So, if you get me some for December I can store them in the humidor for a few months and pull one when I am ready to savor one. Although I have to say, I was blessed with luck last year, my love gave me a lighter that was ingraved with my initials. The year before, she bought me a fishing pole, unfortunately I said I wanted to go fishing again someday. Well, I went fishing one time in two years, but guess what, I still puff 1-2 smokes in a day. So what do I want for the holiday this year? I want Cigars, and anything else would just be an additional pleasure.
