arrrghhh!!!!!

[senor_robusto]

i was sorting my humidor out this morning, refilling the humidifier, arranging my cigars.......was well happy with myself! the 2 and a half year old son was sitting playing with his lego! doorbell, postman........parcel for the missus! on my return, my son had stopped playing with lego and gutted my humidor! casualties:
4 magnum 50's!
2 magnum 48's
2 dukes
1 hdm epicure especial
1 hdm epicure no. 2
3 short churchills
2 secretos....

i was gone for approx 50 secs! he stood there saying 'helping my daddy' and smiling, offering me the severed sticks! i was not angry, just very sad! totally my fault, what was i thinking? anyway, shit happens.........i'm off to kick the neighbours dog and have a good cry in my shed! i think i'll be a better man for it!

all the best,

alex:frown::eek:

[MaledettoToscano]

All my condolences for the defunct sticks.

Might have its uses... at least if you need something to give your son a sense of guilt when he's older now you have a story to use :biggrin1:

[rokkitsci]

my son had stopped playing with lego and gutted my humidor!

Certainly you are aware that you can legitimately KILL THE BOY TO DEATH and no jury in the land will convict you.

Children are quite easy to replace. The lost vitolas, however...

I mourn for their passing and offer you sincerest condolences.

[nicwing]

I think your self control does you huge credit.

Sorry for your loss!

[moidoid]

Immediately sever each and every finger and smoke them. He'll never do it again, trust me :wacko:

[jdawg]

Sorry to hear that, Alex! :eek:

[jkim05]

Ouch, that's rough. Are they all totally dead or are some still smokeable?

[satch]

As you say: Aaarrrgh! Complete bummer. Condolences.

[senor_robusto]

thanks for the kind words all! i know i shouldn't have left it unattended, bloody postman.......bloody missus........bloody parcel that wasn't for me! my son was just being an inquisitive wee boy and he obviously thought he was helping me! ah well,so i can't be mad, you live and learn! they're only cigars, i've still got plenty left! had i'd been gone any longer, there would've been more casualties!!!

i guess i just gotta replace them!!!! it's only the dukes i'm bothered about, i only had the 2! ah well........

thanks again guys,

alex:849:

[senor_robusto]

lol! no, they're totally wasted..........had there've been anything smokeable left, i wouldn't have been bothered! they were all broken in half, twisted to death........., unravelled and gutted, insides all over the place!!! a true horror picture! :puke:

Please stop! I've started feeling physically ill reading that!

Condolences. In 15 and a half years he can start repaying you :smoke:

[saggel]

my condolences... I am really glad that I read you didn't got angry!!! Well done!!!

[Boss Hog]

Ooooh thats really unlucky. I feel your pain.

Still you can always replace them from his xmas and birthday money for the next year or two or if you still have the receipts from any of his xmas presents get your money back and replace them.
He has to learn how bad tobacco can be for you.

[peanutpete]

sorry to hear that Alex, i say no pocket money untill he is a least 25 years old :evil:

Pipe tobacco? jk, that really sucks. I remember I set a custom roll down on a shelf and it fell and landed just perfectly so the wrapper literally shattered and the cigar was destroyed. Not a good feeling.

[senor_robusto]

lol, i have to say, you guys have really cheered me up!:smile: i really mean that!! thanks a lot! though, i can't say that the suggestions of death, amputation and other forms of capital punishment were ever an option........ i find it impossible to punish the wee man! i remember a dramatisation of peter sellers' life on bbc3 a while ago.........similar situation! peter sellers was washing his car (an aston martin i think), was called away to answer the phone, his 6 yr old son thought to help him finish off..........with brillo pads! the look on his face when his son said, 'look daddy, i'm washing your car for you' after removing the paint from the side was priceless.......nothingness! i was horrified by what happened next.........peter sellers brought his son indoors and made him watch as he destroyed his bedroom and everything in it!!!

that is most definitely not me!!! lol:smile:!!! all that was lost can be replaced fairly cheaply on the internet!!! the magnum 48's are £11 here in belfast, almost as cheap as they are online ($14 for a single), so i'll buy a couple tomorrow! i think i'll be hittin' cuban lou's for a couple of singles of said casualties (the dukes for a start), $50 to get me a new selection of stick to try! saying that, a box of 10 hdm epi especials are pretty cheap, and it may be an opportunity to get a box of 10 p2's as well!!!
:dance::peace:

anyway, again, cheers guys!!! :smile::849:

all the best,

alex

[cohibaIV]

LOL....:biggrin1:

Bloody kids, ya gotta love them mate...:rolleyes:

Sorry for your lose all the same...:frown:

[Lee Nub]

Awww mate sorry to hear that. Similar thing happened to me when my son was 2. I was lying on the floor, he was fighting me. He sat across me and fell forward, shattering my nose lol. I couldn't shout at him for laughing, took loads of stick off my mates too for it lol

Good luck with getting your new stogies

[daverave999]

Oh man that's unfortunate! Glad you aren't angry with him though. :)

[roughrider]

Now might be a good time to invest in a pipe and not let that fine tobacco go to waste.

[HabanoSy]

Damn!!! That's brutal, senor robusto...

Im feelin for ya...

Boys will be 'inquisitive' boys tho...

Cheers, HabanoSy

[Nuno Sa]

Not all is lost, as some BOTl´s already posted you could use the tobacco in a pipe it´s called "Picadura" here, the only thing you have to do is to try and cut the cigars in a ribbon stile like used in pipe tabacco.

Another thing you could do with the wraper is to save it to patch some cigars that are in a bad shape with glue.

It´s a pitty to see this happen, but it´s only cigars and the joy of a children is priceless.

Next stop is to teach the little mite what cigars are really all about...

Indeed !! I feel your pain SR and would be quite upset as well but that's the kind of trouble we must take with the great pleasure of young kids. Not sure it's really of any use but i let my 2 y o play with a cigar sometimes (for a few seconds and watching closely ). Somehow hope she's learning not to destroy those beauties if she gets hold of them by herself.

[Stevieboy]

Oh man...that's a shame...well done for keeping the head!!! I'd have struggled :(
