You know, everyone has a vice of some kind. For many women it's shopping. For guys, there are much worse vices than cigar smoking. Gambling, heavy drinking, drugs, women, are all much more destructive vices that ruin a man's life let alone his marraige. Cigar smoking is pretty tame by most standards and by and large it is not even considered addictive. Although many here will tell you collecting them is.

The smell of cigar and pipe smoke makes my wife, *ahem*, romantic. I was smoking a Sig II a couple weeks ago, and she asked for a couple of puffs; she loved it! She figures that she married a man, so she shouldn't be suprised when I act like one.

Great advice here from my perspective as well. My wife has a nose like your future wife and it can be difficult. All of these recommendations are things I do and it works. The Smart-Mouth mouthwash I have found especially helpful. Good luck! Steve

3. Get yourself some Smart-Mouth mouthwash, it works great.
4. Explain to her how a cigar relaxes you, and reduces your stress. If she cant understand the importance of this, then you may want to re-consider your choice in fiancée.

I like the girlfriend advice. Or maybe smoke around her girlfriends and get them to say that they like the smell. Then it will be harder for her to complain.

Winners!

My wife likes a certain hot sauce she uses on a lot of her food. I don't like the smell of it. Who am I to tell her she can't use her hot sauce when I know she enjoys it and I sure as hell am not going to tell her to change her clothes, brush her teeth and take a shower after every time she uses it! Unless I've missed something in my last 32 years of marriage, we are Equal Partners and tend to overlook each others minor "flaws" as we focus on the bigger picture of our lives.

This is the best option.

Also usually I just say something like if you quit nagging/*****ing I'll quit whatever. Next time she nags me for it I just say well it seems we both have things we don't like about eachother and you wont quit yours either.
It is noted I'm not married and never will be.

My wife of 32 years HATES...I MEAN HATES...cigars. We've come to an uneasy truce where I try to smoke when she's away or after she's gone to bed. She on the other hand tries to pretend I don't smoke cigars.

I have read online on multiple websites and reviews that O3 Purifiers work great on cigar smoke. Supposedly just having 1 in a room can completely purify that room of any lingering cigar smell within hours.

I found one here at heartfelt really quick, but there are a lot of them all over the web. Check them out.

Hate to break it to you, but she's not going to like the smell of any cigar smoke on you regardless of the type of cigar.

Just offer her some maduro to smoke. Women always long for a long hard black...

Oh where was I going with this, yeah they like chocolate. Maduro especially if she also loves coffee.

I assure you this "dislike" will turn to outright hatred for cigars after you are married. It will become ammunition during fights even if smoked outside of the house. You will get "the look" everytime you pull one out. If you are already having to alter smoking habits it won't get any better with switching cigars.

This kind of thing needs to be worked out before you get hitched. I can tell you my wife rarely says a word about me smoking in the house or my purchases. But, I have a designated smoking room and I don't question her hobbies or purchases. It's a mutual "live and let live" attitude we were able to work out between us and it works for us. If you truly want to keep this habit and not have to listen to the nagging then communicate and come up with a plan now. If not you will be jumping through hoops the rest of your life and you will still have issues.

Shawn's a smart guy. The littlest snowflakes will turn into avalanches once you're married.

Dont get killed WOOD!!!I think she shoots better then you!!!

Wood put a heater in the back room we smoke in and you'll be fine. When you move together make sure you guys get a house with a private room just for you (somewhere in the basement with a window. Use the fan).. If all else fail some get me and we'll hit a smoke shop (your driving)...
