My in-laws are in town and that is generally no too bad. Of course they take the day to spoil my kids and take us to dinner.
Sunday night I find out that my father-in-law smokes cigars. So I take him outside and give him a selection to choose from. He lights up and is very appreciative of the fine cigar. We get to talking and he says something I find odd. He says he looked inthe humi and it was a little on the dry side. It was but only a bit at 60%. He says his humi is around 85%! He actually told me he soaks the inside of the humi with distilled water too! Well I politely try to educate him but let it go.
So now its Monday evening and I come home from work and he is outside on my patio smoking. I ask if he was able to find something he liked in the humi (I reall did not care if he helped himself) and he replied that he actually went to the liquor store and bought some ciars. That is when I notice the box on the table and get a whiff of the gawd awful stench . . . he bought a box of Swisher Sweets! :0
I have never had these and never been around them while there were beig smoked. Cripes those stink. What is worse is he mentioned a couple of times how good they were!!!
So after dinner I get him a Gurkha Legend which has been aging nicely. Of course he said he loved it and we had pleasant conversation on the patio with some scotch and GOOD cigars.
Today they are heading up to Hot August Nights in Reno NV so I offered to send him with a care package of cigars since the prices will be outrageous up there. He declined and said he still has the Swishers and can buy more in Reno ??? What can ou do . . . some people are beyond help :laugh:
