Hey guys,
Well, I gotta tell ya, this parenting thing (not _real_ parenting as much as I handle the output, my wife, the input) is pretty freakin' awesome.
The baby's doing perfect, and everything's great.
Reading over Jeff's contest rules he specifically stated that this is to be a 'sanity smoke' but I can see how it can be easily interpreted as 'when will Rob smoke his first cigar' as well.
That being said, I smoked a GOF in honor of the baby's birth on Wednesday around 7pm. That would be 3 days 19 hours from the birth.
But really, the stress didn't set in until after all the parents stopped by to spend time with the baby. They are wonderful people, with great intentions, but man, they can be a real pain sometimes.
I got to smoking that 'stress relief smoke' last night, which would be at the 11 day marker. I started with a St Louis Rey from '01 that I'd wanted to try. I fought with it for a bit, but the fugger was plugged. I snipped it in half, and it got marginally better, but eventually let it go.
I proceeded on to a DPG blue, and shit, that thing was plugged too! Oh, did I mention the RP Vintage second was plugged as well? I guess that's why it was a second.. To various degrees each of these smokes caused more stress than they relieved. Not one to give up, around midnight I went inside and grabbed a Hemingway Signature and smoked that fugger to the nub. Now THAT was the smoke I wanted in the first place!
Since the rules leave room for debate and confusion I'm going to declare two winners.
H311oLHD guessed 1 week, 2 days, 2 hrs, taking the cake for last nights marathon of plugged smokes and crappy movies! :laugh:
Tasman guessed 3 days 11 hours, taking the cake for my celebratory GOF! Oh, and the boobies swayed me too.
Great job on the guesses, and Jeff, thanks so much for the contest! It was a blast from this end, that's for sure!
Cheers gents!
Rob
P.S. Four Brothers is an absolutely terrible movie, dont waste your time. City of God on the other hand? Wow, awesome!!!
