Health Are you teetotal?

I like booze, mostly liquor. I don't drink much and don't end up drunk. But I like the taste and the sensation. I love how a good drink goes with a cigar, too.
I smoked one cigar since I had my last drink. What am I going to drink, a water? Eh. All my booze and all my cigars are just sitting in stasis. 200+ cubans .....

Try coffee or cocoa with cream. Fats in the cream will open up the taste of tobacco and sweetness of cocoa can go well with it too. Good tea with rich taste can do the trick too, just gotta pick the one that won't antagonize the cigar taste.
What cigars have you got? My favorites from Cuba before the communists went bonkers with the prices were Cohiba Esplendidos and Bolivars. Now I smoke Dominican and Nicaraguan cigars mostly.
 
Don't get down bro. I'm teetotal and for a while I felt kind of left out in social situations to where I'd feel anxious about them. But then I discovered coke and pills and it solved everything
What a coincidence, I had a completely different set of problems but they were also solved by coke and pills

I have cohibas, upmanns, Romeo and Julieta, Montecristo, and gloria cubano. I had a good European source for them years ago, prices were reasonable. I had to do my research and run all the numbers through the gov ran site. I maintain humidity and inspect them on occasion even though I haven't smoked in years. Lucky to have had a great local Dominican roller too.
I don't remember trying coffee and a smoke. I used to drink my bourbon/scotch/whiskey de jour and walk my dogs down the creek a lot. I have those tastes and experiences pretty tired together
 
I am, haven't touched a single but of alcohol since yesterday.
Dude that reminds me, you and I were going to do sober October. Were we too drunk to remember?

I guess we have to wait till next October. Gonna be a fun 9 months though! Fuck you, liver!

Prices spiked after Covid pandemic. Last time I was in Cuba in September 2024 they wanted $120 for one Cohiba Esplendido in an official store. That was not reasonable at all.

Yeah, work has been kicking my ass... have been super busy, stressed and drinking more than usual, which sucks as I had been cutting back through most of the year :(

I may just quit my current job and go find something else.

It sounded like your skills are in pretty high demand so yeah, if you're not happy then start hunting for better gig.

Just the fact that you're looking will make you a lot less stressed about your current gig.

Light at the end of the tunnel and all that

I might just quit and take a couple of months off. I haven't really had much time off in about four years now, it's probably past due.
 
I drank every single day for 2 years straight. No lie. Now I don’t drink at all. The hangover isn’t worth it. And having less than 6 drinks just feels stupid and like a warm up for me.

I agree I get hungover after 4 drinks now lol. a hang over of 10 drinks might be 2 days long. I was also sick of damaging my organs and not being productive the next two days.
