(The Wisconsin cold doesn't make it easy to grab a quick smoke, either.)

That's awesome bro! I just had twin girls on Dec 2nd so I know the hectic part. They look like a couple of little fellas in the pic, how much did they weigh?

And congrats!!

And congrats!!

The bigger one was 5 lbs 10 ounces, and the little one was 4 lb 6 ounces. Fortunately, they're gaining weight quickly and doing well.

Congrats to you too! I was shocked when I found out that we were expecting twins, but now I can't imagine it differently.

Wow, I see there are a lot of us in the same boat. I smoked my first ever Diamond Crown Maximus on Friday afternoon when I had to shoot into the office and I honestly thought it was horrible and thought about chucking it a few times but struggled through it. Saturday afternoon I started to feel like I was hit by a Freight Train so I am guessing that more than likely that was the reason but I have not had a smoke since than being I still feel like crap. I'm hoping I feel better by the weekend but it looks highly unlikely. Why is it when your sick, you seem to crave a smoke the most?

12/19/08. Nothing since that morning. I've been around family for the holidays ever since. I'm traveling now, but I'm in the one area where I don't have a go-to B&M or bar to enjoy a stick . . . and it's COLD outside.

I know how you feel, I have not had a smoke in 9 days. I have been sick, but I think I am feeling good enough to smoke one tonight. I have a few new boxes that I have been dying to break open.

Well, in spite of urges and ample opportunities today, as I worked from my patio and the weather was not a factor, I held off for day 5.
Tomorrow, day 6 will be the next challenge.

I am one of those living in the frozen tundra, and I haven't had an opportunity to smoke a cigar in a week and a half. I'm going to try my hardest to try and fit one in sometime this week.

I'm right here with the rest of you chest congestion guys . Had it for 2 weeks before Christmas and thought it was gone , 3 cigars around the holiday . The following Monday after I woke up , felt like I had cinder blocks on my chest and 10lbs of cotton jammed up my nose . Been coughing and hacking ever since , just wont go away . I think a Z-pack might treat me right . To all those affected , Get well soon , to the others , enjoy your smokes .
