I aint talkin about bombs or coffee, I'm talkin about an addiction to variety, and that next "must have stick" that everyone's been talkin about. Sigh, oh well, I suppose it could be worse; I could be outta beer with no ducats to get more

That is funny, would be funnier if i did not know exactly what you were talking about.

Sometimes it's wonderful to be single, although when I open the credit card bill this month I suspect I'm going to bitch at myself. Deposit on an Aristocrat, a box each of RyJ Churchills, Siglo VIs, RASSs, Padilla 8&11 robustos, Bolivar Churchills & a couple loose sticks of Tatuaje Miami's - this month's statement is going to be grim.

Gulp...yup. And when yer in it, and getting all that stuff, the total isn't a consideration, the thrill of the hunt is. Awww hell, it's only money.

Amazing how it hits so close to home for so many. Myself included. Ah yes the dark side. Stogie Kanobie One says.....

[Dr. Stogie Fresh]

Well Klugs, I usually reserve this prescription for only the most desparate cases, but, sadly, yours seems to fit the bill. THus, I will share with you Doc Stogie Fresh's 8-Step Program:

1. Admit you have a problem. [Okay, it seems you have done this. So far, so good.]

2. Believe that there is a higher power greater than yourself who can lead you back to sanity. [Well, of course there is. Doh!!!!! Who do you think has been leading you to BUY all this stuff? (That's your story... stick to it)]

3. Admit to this higher power, and to the rest of the country and world, including third world countries, and countries that have never seen a cigar but have seen plenty of bombs, and your priest (if you are catholic) and every person in your life who smokes, who ever has smoked or who has every breathed second-hand smoke, the exact nature of your wrongs. [Done.]

4. Make a list of all persons you have harmed, and be willing to make amends to them all. [I don't know about the rest of the gorillas, but I'm feeling pretty wronged here. No, I take that back, after seeing the wealth of your new humidor, I'm feeling like I just got slapped like a RED-HEADED STEP-CHILD!]

5. Make direct amends to such people wherever possible. [Now here's were it gets good... The Doc says that you need to ask every gorilla who you've wronged, thought about wronging, or potentially wronged, for their addie so you can start some regular and sustained bombing. I'm talking scud missles here.]

6. Cut up the credit cards. The wife's credit cards. [Nuff said.]

7. Start a cigar business so you can have more write-offs. At least hang up a shingle.

8. Have a good laugh at the above 7 steps because it is physiologically impossible to generate ulcers when one is laughing. Plus laughing is good for the soul, for the spirit and for your health. It's great to keep our ups and downs in perspective, but your keen observations make me believe that you have a better handle on our common obsession that most.

Cheers!

Doc
