So as I near my century posts mark it's hard to believe the addiction I've gotten from being on here. When I first joined I didn't know what to expect. To be honest didn't think I would be on here as often as I am. These BOTL are awesome and I've received nothing but warm welcomes, great laughs and even greater brotherhood.
So your asking why the title affair if I'm talking about number of posts and addictions. Well earlier today I tried explaining to my wife the brotherhood I have on here; something I've been missing and seriously I'm a crack addict with this forum. She tells me I'm so glad to here that for the past few nights and days I starting thinking that you were having an affair. LOL I assured I wasn't and tried to explain the BOTL to her.
My discussion question is - what did your wives first think when you first joined the forum?

I'm 23 and single... so she was fine with it lol but does this mean we shouldn't send you "special" notes and old hotel key cards in our bombs?

Damn, that would be cold (insert evil laugh here)No_one21:I'm 23 and single... so she was fine with it lol but does this mean we shouldn't send you "special" notes and old hotel key cards in our bombs?
my wife thought (at first) it was great that I found something to do "for a good portion of the day" but now she will walk by say things like "I dont think even porn addicts are on the computer that much" O-o -
She understood, I have been a part of nanny message boards over the years......

ROFL

She does raise a great point with porn addicts

To answer your question involves a little background.
When I started cigars, there was little as far as forums. For that matter, I didn't give it a thought that there was communities.
After building a large automotive technical information group, I thought if there are forums for mechanics, maybe there are for cigars.
In 2003, I started being active in an auction (sister site) forum and Torano's forum.
A bunch of other forums I visited too.
After disliking certain things about the auction site forum and Torano's forum disappearing, I pretty much gave up on cigar forums.
After some purchases from Ccom, I discovered the forum link.
I lurked for probably 6 months, before I posted here.
And it probably took me 2 weeks to make 5 posts.
Then I made the mistake of posting on the Top Three you want to try thread.
Roberto99 hit me with those 3.
Then of course, I needed payback. So from there, it kind of went south on me.
This forum and Mike's are pretty much the only ones I'm active on. There are several I visit from time to time, but rarely active on them.
Well, since I rambled on, to answer your question.
As for what my wife thinks, she thinks we're all crazy, but understands it.

I mean, if he has a nanny fetish, who am I to judge. -
I know what you mean. My wife always jokes now about me talking or texting with my cigar boyfiends.....cracks me up every time.
-
Wife hasn't gotten to calling me crazy but sure she will after a while. LOL
-
My wife always knows when you guys are texting me. My phone will go non-stop for about 20 minutes.james40:I know what you mean. My wife always jokes now about me talking or texting with my cigar boyfiends.....cracks me up every time.
Otherwise, I may only get one or two texts in 4 hours. -
exactly -- now when that happens I just say it's my boyfriends and we both laugh.0patience:

Hahahaaa!!! Too funny!! I was thinkin' Jake from State Farm too!!! ROFL!!Rain: -
That's funny! My partner is pretty supportive. In fact one of the first things she said to me about the matter was "glad you found something to do for yourself". With three kids, full time job, etc. I think she is happy that I'm taking a bit of time for myself. I suppose I should merry her at some point ....
-
Haha now that's funny, jmartinez.
You guys make me laugh.
But to answer your question .... only time the wife says anything is when I get unexpected "boxes" that show up at the front door. Especially if it's a big box or multiple boxes in a short time frame.
Usually goes something like this:
"What is this? Did you buy more cigars? Stop buying cigars, you have plenty."
"You can never have enough cigars, dear. But anyways I didn't buy them, so let me see who it's from. (Check return addy.) Oh yes it's a bomb/trade from (insert name). I didn't spend any $$, dear."
"Oh ok, so someone sent you all these cigars? .... And there's snacks/beer/etc. in the package too? You're friends are crazy"
"Yes, yes they are. In a good way." -
well yeah, i need to find my next wife when i divorce her.New Boots:

Hey John I think we married sisters. I have had that very same conversation with my wife. One thing different, she asked if there's anything she like to smoke in the boxes/bombs.jgibv:Haha now that's funny, jmartinez.

I just started but the questions didn't take long from the fiancée. She wasn't worried about an affair but she thinks my hobbies are crazy and can never understand how I enjoy reading forums so much. However, now every time she sees me on the site she asks if the sprint sale has nutting good and even likes to watch it with me. I'd call that a win. Hahaha
-
My wife said, "I'm just happy you have friends."
Not sure what she means by that... -
Lol wife just said while driving to my sisters, "I'm filling for divorce, hopefully our marriage counselor [my sister] will set you straight." My reply, "Ok my BOTLs would never make me choose." LOL!!!
-
If only there was a way we could show them that our cigar obsessions are the least of there concerns!
Aj -
Wait, she's gonna make you have sex therapy with her sister?JMartinez10:Lol wife just said while driving to my sisters, "I'm filling for divorce, hopefully our marriage counselor [my sister] will set you straight." My reply, "Ok my BOTLs would never make me choose." LOL!!!
Dude, that's just wrong. -
