The wife busted me!

Crownedone · 01-17-2012, 09:03 PM

Well as many of you know I am away from home working and somewhere along the way I mentioned to the wife one night that an order of cigars will be coming to the house. During our conversation I also mentioned, said or mumbled....something about being out....almost out....well that was weeks ago and I had forgotten the conversation. Unfortunately my wife had not.

Tonight I got my nightly call, but this time she came out with "I thought you said you were out of cigars, you got two humidors full!" Ok….now at this point in the conversation I should have just stated talking house wives of some place or another, but not me I made the mistake of " but...but,. Honey those are not my daily smokes those have been there for over a year aging....you will immediately see my mistake. I was toast from that point on. No talk of Jimi choo shoes was going to save my butt....the conversation ended with her saying “don’t tell me your out when you’re not”....and me just sounding like an old motor boat...”butbutbutbut”.

I better make that call to Jimi sooner rather than later. Just wanted to share the shame!

hahaha. Nice. Cigars are as mysterious to women as shoes and bags are to men. I have a wife with a closet full of bags that she never uses and shoes that she wore once. This works to my advantage as she has no leg to stand on with my sticks.

She'll get over it.

^^^ Very well said! I could not agree more! I had to "explain" to my wife my passion for cigars and why it is important that I get the time I need to enjoy my hobby and after a while she warmed up to it. Just takes some time...

Remember, all women have that mother hearing and memories like an elephant.

Yes! This too ^^^ is very true! It helps for me when I "PIF" for my wife. As long as she feels she is put first, she is usually fine with me and smokes!

As long as mine can go junkin' and get stuff to sell, I'm in the clear with my cigars and shaving stuff.

Ouch. I bet she understands the difference if you break down the cost of smoking a daily smoker vs a more costly well aged smoke. On second thought don't go with that argument. Apologize lots and buy more shoes.

HAAAA...HAAAAA...I actually started down that road....did not go well. just more motor boat sounds.... now I just wont order and ship any thing home until I get off the road.

Clearly, you have not correctly trained your wife that your cigars are your business and not hers.

Big Maduro · 01-17-2012, 11:44 PM

Lol. My wife found a reciept from CI today. She just kind of scowed at me.

jluck · 01-17-2012, 11:52 PM

I told the wife last Friday when cbid billed the debit card..."that will be the last ones I buy for a while".....little does she know, "A while" is a week....just wait till she sees the bill from this weeks bidding....oh crap!

01-18-2012, 03:35 AM

Guess I'm lucky, my wife would have been like "oh ok".

MrClean · 01-18-2012, 03:53 AM

My wife was kind enough to show me what I spent in the first 3 months, even I was shocked. I said the same thing "that will be it for awhile"........ 2 weeks later, another charge for sticks...... I'm a glutton for punishment.

This is me to a "T". Wife prepared a spreadsheet and I was toast as someone esle put it. Now everytime a box is delivered she scowls and says "more cigars" (with strong negative emphasis I might add). Oh well, after 28 years she gets over it. Steve

My wife used to get upset at my purchases, but now she just tells me I have a package waiting and leaves it at that. I am one lucky man.

24 hour rule: If she doesn't notice them within 24 hours of being in the house, she can't be angry about them.

chaase321 · 01-18-2012, 09:37 AM

My wife's response to my CI bill:

"Now I see what couples fight over money"

Then she walked off...the fight didn't happen, but the point was made! lol oh well...here's to buying more!

pektel · 01-18-2012, 10:02 AM

My gf (pretty much wife, been together for 7-8 years) has her own cooler of cigars. She was a little upset that I converted the wine fridge to a humi though.

All I gotta do is keep her away from the Cubans. I dont' want to have to worry about my 01 CoLa or other aged smokes disappearing on me.
