Cigars and your Significant Other - Page 4

I'm surprised I'm really the first one to say "Option #4" here!

There is no SO, therefore there is no complaining, and any money otherwise spent on said woman can instead be spent on more cigars

The wifey calls me a cigar snob. It's my ADD nature to know/research/etc. all I can about something I like or want to get into. She doesn't seem to care either way. She'll hang out with me while I'm smoking. She doesn't like my clothes after a good, long herf - heck I don't either. She's not a big fan of the stinky garage after we have a men's meeting, but she's very tolerant and I try to be thoughtful and respectful. She probably would wish I saved the money instead of spending it, but I'd find something else to spend it on. I'll definitely keep her!

Shhh, what Cigars? oh that smell?
I think that's from the train.
Wait, I wasn't even on the train today.
It must be the smell in the car. or maybe the guy I stood next too, what ever. What else is news. How was your day?

I usually get my wife a Java or a Kuba Kuba. The conversation goes something like this:

Her: "Did you go to the cigar shop today?"
Me: "Yes"
Her: *Angry Face* "How much did you spend?"
Me: "I got you a Java Mint toro"
Her: "Aww thank you!"
Me: "What's for dinner?"

I wonder how many times cigar wives/ SO's have asked that.

I met my wife while I was working in a cigar store. Over the years we've spent many good times in different cigar stores and events. Her taste in cigars leans deep into the full-bodied arena, mostly sub 46 ring. Can't ask for anything better!

lilninjabuddy · 07-31-2012, 11:24 AM

My wife is extremely supportive. She enjoys that I have a hobby, and as long as I remain fiscally responsible, she's absolutely fine with it. She enjoys the smell, and we often spend evenings sitting out on the patio, chatting while I smoke.

My wife doesn't mind in general and hangs out most Friday nights with me at a local place while I have a cigar. By late Sunday afternoon the weekend of EPIC though she has about had enough of cigars!!!

Those are probably the best types of stories so far in this thread.

Maybe one day I'll find a woman who will purchase me a box of cigars. And a case of beer. And some single malt.

My wife smokes cigarettes but dislikes cigar smoke.

Go figure. She's not a huge fan of the smell after a herf but after one or two, not such a big deal. I find it funny how many cigarette smokers I know who dispise cigar smoke.

kuzi16 · 07-31-2012, 01:43 PM

my wife supports the hobby in strange ways.

- she hates the smell
- she will smoke one with me now and again
- she hates the multitude of humidors
- she hates the money i spend
- she likes that it relaxes me
- she will go to the cigar shop with me now and again
- she will never buy me anything related to cigars
- she went to Nicaragua with me to tour factories.
- she never wants to talk about cigars.

so does she support me?
yes

and no.
