Pulling the wife down the slope

Heavy_d · 11-27-2013, 04:33 PM

When I first got into this crazy hobby, the wife wasn't too happy about it, but she didn't say anything. As time went on, she saw how happy good cigars made me and how relaxed I was while smoking so she slowly became more supportive. I tried to get her involved with flavored cigars and mild intro sticks, all to no avail, until the day she snatched a Dante I was smoking and loved it. From that day on, every time I had a full flavored stick, she'd share.

Fast forward to today. She just found out she's getting a promotion at work from a legal secretary to a full paralegal, complete with pay raise. To celebrate we retired to my "smoking lounge" aka porch, for a celebratory smoke. I had a Cain straight Ligero while she had a Cain F, which she loved. Looks like it's time to buy a bigger humidor!

Best of luck to you brother, I cant keep any of the "GOOD STUFF" in stock.

You'll need the extra money to pay for all the extra cigars you will be buying now!!

Congrats!!!

Cool as a fan!! Congrats to you both.

That's pretty cool, man. I wish I could get my wife to smoke but it's a no-go due to asthma. I guess on the bright side I won't have to hear "While you were running errands I decided to have a cigar. You weren't saving that Arturo Fuente with the big "X" on the band for anything, were you?"

That's my worst nightmare. My future wife can support my habit from a far.

This is what I'm afraid of! I work weekends, so she's home alone with the tupperdor. May have to get a smaller Tupperware just for the special sticks and hide it!

My wife is an ex smoker so she doesn't try any of my cigars. But she does comment on the ones she likes the smell of and ones she doesn't. She does have a nice nose for a good smoke though.

Awesome dude, congrats!

Smoqman · 12-01-2013, 09:38 AM

Now THAT... thaaaat's kick ass!!

Dude Here · 12-01-2013, 02:24 PM

Awesome! Congratulations to your wife on her promotion. My old lady used to smoke the heck out of the Kahluah flavored cigars and the Java's. Hasn't touched a stogie since she got pregnant with our first kid though.

maninblack · 12-01-2013, 02:58 PM

Congrats! I'm glad my wife stays away from my humi. I don't need competition for my beloved Tats.

It's a great feeling to have the support from the missus. Congrats Brother!

X2. Congrats man!

About a week ago my girlfriend offered to buy me another cooler for my "collection." Told her I wanted to wait until mine was more full, and that an empty cooler-dor picture on this site is like painting a target on your head.

And back, and a$$, and wherever else there's room for a bullseye!

This is exactly why many humidors come with a lock and key

Just saying
