Cigars & our better half...

[TheBigAsh]

I was just thinking that through all the years I've spent on the Big Ash porch with my cigars Ive had the blessing of my hobby from my wife. While I can't smoke in the house, she has never discouraged me from smoking my gars. In fact, there have been plenty of times she's suggested that I go and spend time either on the porch or at my B&M. She's never made to big a fuss at the money I spend on them. I kinda think she enjoys the idea of a man and his cigar rather than just tolerating it. So here's to the wives of BOTL.

May they allow us to fill up the humidor ever full.

Amen! I think most of middle-agers would rather spend the evening at our homes enjoying a great, relaxing smoke than anything else. It's always nice to have a buddy or two over to help enjoy the time with, also.

I've been lucky enough to have a lady who enjoys smoking cigars with me. She supports me in purchases, never discourages. She has helped with major purchases, even with the humidor that I had custom made by Ed of Waxing Moon Humidors. We share our cigars, and she knows the value of my HTFs so she never would smoke one without permission or without me for that matter, and the same goes for me to her sticks. There isn't an HTF or CC that I've smoked without her taking some in as well. Kinda nice now that I think of it

Cheers SOTLs!

My wife loves the smell of a cigar, she says it "smells like men".

I too am blessed with a wife who not only doesn't mind me enjoying cigars, she usually gets me better cigars than I get myself!

Very lucky that mama enjoys the aroma of a good cigar and has no problem with my smoking in the house. I do, however, smoke in my "room" that has a fan at the window to expel the smoke, and I use candles in the room as well. So, unless there is a gale blowing that turns the fan blades so that the smoke is pushed further in the house, one can barely tell there is a stogie smoker therein.

Nonetheless and even so, mama approves!

I kept it from my wife for a long time. As I eased her into the idea and educated her on cigars she is very supportive. Often on Friday after work she will ask if we can go to the local shop so I can get something.She likes the smells and will ask if I need any cigars.

My wife isn't a huge fan of me smoking cigars, but on the other hand, she doesn't discourage me from enjoying them.

Can your wives get in touch with my Gal and have a talk with her ? J/K
Love her dearly but this is one area she does not agree.

[Sadden]

She likes the smell of some and dislikes the smell of others. She doeant enjoy cigars herself but she doeant mind me smoking them. when we build a house i get a smoking lounge. qnd she encouraged me to get a larger aristocrat than i originally wanted.

I actually was dicussing this with my fiance the other day. When we build a house eventually I want a smoking lounge/office area.

My better half though is supportive of my habit. She says if it makes me happy and does not bother others, then have at it. That probably stems from the fact that she enjoys partaking in a cigar from time to time. In fact, she was the one who got me my first cigar, a Montecristo Rothchilde, while we on vacation in Miami...not even going to mention house much she overspent on that, haha! Damn street vendors....LOL

My wife HATES it with a passion...thinks I will die of lung cancer. I explained to her you don't inhale and then it's "you will die of mouth cancer then"

My right hand has been very supportive of my cigars.

My wife doesn't miss my cigarette smoking every 45 minutes so she welcomes the change to cigars 15 months ago.
She may ask "did you have your cigar yet today ? " I know that means she'd like to sit on the porch for a while with me. Sometimes I'll let her
She'll say "that one smells nice" . But I just can't get her to smoke one ! Maybe some day !

Exactly how my wife is.

Same exactly thing with me. She doesn't hate it though.. other than that.. same convo at my house.

[RevSmoke]

My wife tolerates it. She isn't a fan of my smoking cigars, and hates the taste of it in my mouth when we kiss. However, she also realizes they are a stress management tool, and therefore tolerates, and sometimes will say, "do you need to go off and have a cigar and a beer?"

To our wives!!!
