What kind of comments do you hear...
 

What kind of comments do you hear from your significant other or family members everytime you light up a stogie?

I hear these ones all the time- "didn't you just smoke a cigar?" "Pewwwww those things stink"

What are your favorites? :rolleyes:

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

compensating for something?
sad in that I smoke robustos a lot. :(

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

"Aren't you worried about your health and getting cancer."

This coming from someone who eats only organic healthy food and seems to have a cold ever other week.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

"There he is spontaneously combusting again!"

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

I hear, "wow, that smells nice"

really.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

My favorites? "Hmm, that one smells nice."

I wish I had been keeping a list.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

My wife only comments when the mailman comes...LOL!! "Did you get MORE cigars?"

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

Me too. Really. 9 times out 10 I have people say "that cigar smells great". I always pull one out and offer and it seems like 1 out 5 will take it. That being said I am always extremely aware of others and try to always stay down wind or away from the group, especially when there are kiddies around.

My family is used to it. I have a couple uncles that join in. I really enjoyed the couple times I've been able to have a cigar with my Dad and I smoke with my FIL all the time.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

That cigar smells really good baby.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

My wife doesn't mind my occasional cigar (3-4 a week). She doesn't like the smell, so I usually don't like to smoke around her. The only cigar she's ever liked the smell of was a RP vintage '90. Overall, she's pretty tolerant.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

1) You smoke?
2) Don't you run marathons?
3) Wow you're old now huh?
4) Isn't that stuff bad for you?

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

If she said somethin I probably just said Yes Dear and nodded on my way out to the smokin area.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

:tpd:

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

Your killing me.
Your killing yourself.
Your killing the neighbors.
Your killing the grass.
Youir killing the people around you.

You get the picture...

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

Like a broken record.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

I guess I'm lucky because they say nothing when I light up.


:)


Chris.....

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

"Dads gonna be outside for awhile"

or my wife usually says "That one smells good"

but I also get the "You ordered MORE cigars?"
or "How many cigars do you NEED!"

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

dont hear nothing..my gf is pretty good...she even knows whem im smoking a cc vs NC

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

I just get nasty looks....so I give nasty leers right back at em :)

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

How many cigars do you have anyway?

What could one person possibly do with all those cigars.

Its how old? Aren't you afraid it will go bad?

Wher are sending packages to now?

And the ever famous

Go ahead I am going to bed anyway.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

I get the

"You don't even know these people and you plan on staying with them for a what (herf)" or

"I don't have anything to smoke" or

"That's all you care about are your stupid cigars".

"Don't old people smoke cigars, you're not old".

"HOW much did you spend on cigars"?

"Do you really think you need more cigars"?

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

Oh yea and
"I've never seen someone SO happy to go get the mail" lol

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

All I hear is the crickets chirp.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

The one that gets me the most is the guys at the bar telling me "those cigars stink up the place" as they sit there and chain smoke their pall mall cigarettes!

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

"You smell......... interesting."

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

But remember your, "helping to save the children"

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

the girlfriend usually asks "Can I try That"? and then usually tells me if it is to her liking or not, but never sits down and enjoys a whole stick

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

:tpd:

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

Usually it's something along the lines of "oooh, what are you smoking?" or "I'll join you in a minute" or "care to try this one?"

It helps having a girlfriend who smokes cigars. <3 my Tanith.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

Still my favorite... when I first started a few years back...

"He turned into an old man overnight, he's drinking bourbon and smoking cigars!"

:r

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

I get "Are you going outside?" it is asked more to make sure they know where I am in case I am needed.

Sometimes I get comments like "Hey they smells terrible" "Thats not so bad" and twice "I really like that smell"

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

out in public I usually get some fake coughs or people telling me either that it smells or that it reminds them of their father who used to smoke.

People who know me know how much I enjoy having a cigar, so no comments from them at all.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

With the wife, I don't smoke in the house and her Dad smoked, so no real issues there. I do try to be considerate of where the direct smoke is going, but in general though, I can't say that I notice too many comments. If I wanted others opinions I'd ask for them. I keep my nose out of others business and expect others to do the same.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

I have gotten a lot of that smells good, and I get a lot of nasty looks.

My favorite was the girl that was sitting a few seats down at a bar looked down at me and then looked at the ashtray and said "your done? Don't you want to light another? I was really loving the smell"

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

The wife likes to bust my chops every so often, but in a good natured way. Lighting up just presents her with another opportunity, which she appreciates. ;)

Once in a great while if I'm out in public I may hear snatches of a whispered "...cigar..." conversation. I do recall one lady coming up and telling me my cigar reminded her of her father, and how much she enjoyed the fragrance. :)

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

What a great thread :)

I usually get....

"Poooo, you stink!" - From my girlfriend.
"James, I think your smoking far to many cigars, you will get cancer" - From my mother.
"That smells great James (with a big smile) - My father.

From this you can probably guess who supported me in getting a motorcycle and who didnt... Therefore - no motorcycle :(

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

If a stranger is bold enough to say something face to face it's usually a positive like "Smells good!" , but if they arn't brave enough it's usually the fake coughing and dirty glances.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

Thanks everyone for posting your "comments"! :tu Glad to hear that some of you get positive feedback from your hobby.

This one makes me laugh everytime you post it. :banger

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

From my nephew, "Man, that smells so good!"
From my sisters, "That STINKS!"
From my wife, I get both comments. :confused:
From my son, " Can I smoke one of your cigars?":dr

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

When I smoke around my wife, which is rarely, she usually says "can I try it?"

But because I smoke alone most times, and living in San Francisco I have to smoke somewhere outside, people have come up to me asking "do you have another one? Oh wait, that's not a cigarette, nevermind."

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

Ummm, Shawn... You need to check the humidity in that hermidor.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...

Father: What're you having?

Friends: What're you having?

Random broads: Ew, is that a cigar?

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

My significant other tells me to enjoy my cigar and stops by periodically for a kiss while I am smoking....I've got it made!

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...

"Got ahold of another one huh? Im gunna train the cat to bury them deeper"

I allways get the cat/dog turd angle :(

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

At the Blue Monkey I hear "Sir we don't allow cigar smoking in here."
(only the GOOD kind of smoking apparently, as if HALF the nasty- smelling
smoke is better than twice the good-smelling kind)

At the Sidecar, there is a sign upon entering "Cigar Smoking encouraged"
but they screw that up by for all intents and purposes being a gay bar.
But it's not a gay bar. I THINK it's a cigar bar that's popular with gays and
theater types.

At home, where I smoke the most, I hear nothing but the gentle pops of the
combustion, as I live, thankfully, blissfully, fartfully alone.

Re: What kind of comments do you hear...
 

Ah the joys of a Filipina wife as she snatches the cigar from my hand saying I'll do that for you. Cuts the tip, fires it up, gives me a big long kiss and hands me the cigar.

Most common saying - Hun, you want another cigar? I kid you not
