For starters, I'll just go with dip.
 
Coffee
Dogfish head beer
Cigars
Retail therapy ;em
and a few others I can't tell ya....really, I can't ::-);lol;)
 
I loved coffee, til I saw what unfiltered coffee was doing to my cholesterol numbers. (we have a french press.) Now I drink tea. Is that still a vice?
I love how addicted to coffee everyone is, keepin' me in business! You should try a glass brewer called a Chemex, it's the same strength as French Press just using a very thick paper filter.

Coffee is my main vice, followed by firewood, oh and sugary snacks, maybe the breakfast croissant sandwiches at burger king, I also like salty snacks, cold water, oh and Breaking Bad and Dexter, I don't have cable so I'll watch an entire season in a night or two when they come out on Netflix...

And stopping illegal logging with my bare hands...
 
Various pork products such as bacon,ribs,wursts,sopressata,chorizo,hungarian paprika salame etc
craft beers & a couple-tree midwest others
Single Malt Scotch (when I can splurge)
Nice glass of Cabernet or Chianti w/my pasta & meatballs.
chainsaws - using them,tinkering on them,learning about the history of older ones
dark chocolate
chile peppers
antique woodworking tools,related ephemera,catalogues
various strong cheeses such as farmhouse cheddar,roquefort,gorgonzola,maytag blue (made barely 1 hr from me),pecorino romano,parmigano reggiano (you get the picture......)
Good artisan breads
the occasional apple/cherry strudel & a piece of black forest torte
 
Monster
Rockstar
Taco Bell


No, wait. That's what I live four days a week. I spend the rest of the time 'cleansing'.
 
I cant see you smoking cigars.

And as far as the"other things", you can tell us........we won't say anything......::-)

its not all that uncommon, really......my GF doesnt smoke per se, but every once and awhile, she enjoys a stogie with her brother in law....weirdest thing......

Most of what people are listing are not vices. Vices are not something you like, or even something you do every day- they are what other people gossip about.

A vice is not "Hey- that guy drinks coffee every day", it's "Homey is going to do a Hank Williams Sr. one of these days"
It's not "he likes wearing bola hats", it's "Did you hear they caught him in Bea Arthur's house wearing her skivvies?"
It's not "He likes chocolate", unless followed by "and steals cars to support the habit"

Pennsylvania. The land where you can still smoke in Bars...

I'm sure she'll correct me if I'm in error, but as I recall that pic was taken aboard a cruise ship a long way from Pennsylvania. Rick

May have been. But I was in Pa last month at the Cabin on vacation and walked into a Bar and everyone was smoking.

So used to no one smoming in bars here in Ohio. It's a little Shell Shock to see it.
