Cigars and your Significant Other

Mr. Ed · 07-30-2012, 12:47 PM

So, I was dating someone for a while that was lukewarm to the hobby at best and so she got the boot! (Just kidding, it was time to move on for myriad reasons

).

How does your significant other view your hobby(addiction might be an even better adjective for some

)?

My wife bought me my first box of cigars... little did she know it was a shove down the slope.

Wife Hates My Cigars, But She'll Get Over It!

JenksAnejo · 07-30-2012, 12:53 PM

My GF doesn't care at all. She loves her wine, I love my cigars

Tolerates it....under the "lesser of all evils" theory...

My wife doesn't know about my lifestyle........... yet

JK she knows, but hates the smell. She always says "You stink".

Ouch! I'd have a 50/50 shot of getting a brush your teeth/use some mouthwash response, but if she had enough wine

Hmmm, what does she think you're always doing on the computer/internet then?

Jefft72 · 07-30-2012, 12:59 PM

My wife tolerates it and encourages my visits to the B&M to have some adult conversation time.

Wife doesn't mind, but anything I was wearing must go into the basement in its own basket.

I don't really get online from home. She knows about it, but not the full extent of it. She despises cigars though.
She doesn't mind me getting outside for a while though, it's the only time I am not anoying her.

My lady supports my cigar hobby and contributes regularly to it. She has been known to enjoy the occasional cigar herself.

My wife puts up with it, she uses the "how much did you spend on cigars now.." to justify buying new clothes/fabric for making clothes but she does get exasperated

Michelle is not a fan of my smoking cigars.

I think she prefers it to my previous tobacco use, Copenhagen and cigarettes.

Kellie loves to come to herfs with me...but she always gives me the "evil eye" when those "damn boxes arrive" from the postman, UPS, FEDEX, etc.

Mr. Ed · 07-30-2012, 01:05 PM

Imagine if there was an online forum for all the wives/girlfriends/significant others of cigar enthusiasts out there. What would be said?
