View Full Version : What did you do with your Puff "time off"?

I'm a little adult ADHD. (self diagnosed) So I can't sit still when there is nothing occupying my mind. I spent the first 3 days or so when Puff went "puff", in the grips of withdrawal Then I wandered the internet in search of a new passion. I settled into several forums on woodworking (an old habit where I have spent no time or money since getting addicted to Puff) and started putting together a list of projects and material to fill the hole in my schedule. I have a full power tool shop at home in MA but nothing here in NY where I spend the majority of my time. This time I determined that I would concentrate on hand tools and old techniques and try to eliminate the whirr of high speed motors that might annoy the neighbors. So far I have the base of my short woodworking base constructed out of scraps and cut-offs that I piled into the smoking room (2000 Maxima) on my last trip home.
I'm hoping the new distraction will keep me off of the devils site and curtail my $400+ per month expenditure on burnable assets and maybe eventually give me something to use as gifts or a second income stream. But really it is just another way to spend time and money at this point. I have my eye on hand tools and hardware that will help finish my projects and round out the capabilities of my bench to firmly hold the wood I'm working with. Hopefully the cigar savings will fund my new passion.
Not to worry. I have enough burnable stock in my humidors and Igloodor to last me through the year and probably next year too.
Did anybody else find something new to explore?

I've never put all my eggs in one basket! I belong to a couple of cigar forums, although I did spend most of my time on Puff to be honest.
I'm getting back into reading and maintaining my commitment to going to the gym. Pushing to get back into playing chess. Was never really good, but played well.

You didn't go out and buy new clubs this time ????
I spent some time on other forums, bought a few cigars and booked a much needed spring golf trip to Orlando.

I spent most of the time composing the perfect post in which I informed Puff in no uncertain terms that this was the last straw and I've had enough. Now I'm suffering from rantus interruptus...

I'm Long_Hair_Dont_Care on the Chesstime app. Shoot me a game invite if your ever looking for a game.
In my down time I joined another board(bringing my total to like 6 lol), played chess, brewed beer, and my usual dad stuff.

Pretty much the usual - work, school, and family time. Joined another forum but still missed the Puff crew.

I shoveled a lot of snow, had a few cigars and spent more time than normal playing games on my phone.
Really, with 2 feet of snow on the ground here in the northeast I can't do much else. So smoke and play it is.

I checked the Facebook page 10 times a day hoping there would be a notice on when puff would come back up. I lurked on a few other forums and read some comical posts about Puff. My favorite was the guy who said I hope those douches from Puff don't make their way over here!

This just cracked me up. I always thought a snuggy was an early permutation of the wedgie...

I was so bored that I decided to get hernia surgery, then smoked lots of cigars and drank my share of scotch while I was off of work recovering.

I didn't realize the site was down until a couple days before Cigar Bum launched. As usual I was too busy working.
