Seriously, congrats on quitting, man. Your kid will appreciate the extra years you have to spend with him.

If you have any more of the Acid Dirt cigars, you can give them to me next week. You don't want to be tempted by having them around, lol.
I have a humidor full of stuff in the basement but I haven't added water in years! Any way of reviving them?

Finally got it licked!!! Quit several times over the past 5 yrs or so. It looks like this time it stuck,,, thank God.
Started the gym and patch every morning at 5:00 (except fishing days :-)) several months ago. Off the patch and still on the gym.

Don't ever give up trying,,, it can be done and the gym is fun,,, hey! that rhymes

If the wrappers are intact and they don't fall apart when you pick them up, they can be revived. They won't be perfect, but they'll be very smokable. There are a few ways of doing it, but I usually just humidify the heck out of them for a couple weeks.

You got it. And for the record, you would have got the reach around anyways.

11yrs and couple of months for me.

I don't have many personal positive accomplishments in life but this does count as one of the few positive ones.

The patch worked for me and it wasn't the first time but it finally stuck a couple years ago. Toothpicks are helpful also.

I'm not out of the woods yet, I still haven't smoked yet but I'm still at times wanting to smoke I threw away the open pack and sold the remainder of the carton I had so I wouldn't have them handy

I also don't drink or do any drugs I'm just a real boring guy

Congrats and "boring guys" are able to donate blood or blood products! I'm scheduled to give platelets next Thursday.


I gave up pack 1/2 per day habit for 30yrs about 20yrs ago BUT I swore to never stop drinking good beer (in moderation). A LITE beer never crosses these lips.....although some Greek Coca cola might!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
