Excellent question, Rick. Soon as I make her some coffee, I am going to ask her.

Many of us DO these things so we can LIVE to function in the real world!!! LOL

For me, My wife complains about the quantity of cigars I have, not the money spent. She would like me to quit. Her Father, who smoked cigarettes for many years, had part of his lung removed several years ago and she is very concerned for MY health. I also smoked cigarettes for many years and quit about 7 years ago. I smoke cigars as a treat for myself (approx. 2 - 5 per week). I figure the less she knows about my cigar purchases, the better.
As far as smoking in the house, even if she didn't mind, I probably still wouldn't since it is a very heavy smoke and hard to get rid of.

I AM THE MASTER OF MY DOMAIN !!!

Low

PS.. shhhh..don't tell my wife I said that...

It’s a courtesy thing Rick. I know she doesn't like the smell of cigars so I don't smoke them in the house. In return she makes sure to dispose of all feminine products in such a manner as I don't have to see them.

LMAO @ Lowman - Yeah Right! We are really believe the master stuff.

I am fortunate beyond belief. My wife is very understanding and tolerates the smoke (stink) of the cheap cigars (You All Know What I Mean) but enjoys the smell of a the premium sticks. Can't ask for much more...I even get to smoke in our house. I have my own room for cigars and computers my hobbies.

Regards,

Can't smoke in the house because of youngest allergies and respiratory problems. But even if not, I wouldn't because of the smell. As for buying, yes, she doesn't like it but it's fivolous spending that falls in line with hers. LOL . I also don't buy from about May to Sept (unless local) because of the heat here. Cigars don't fair well sitting in the heat of Arizona.

My girlfriend doesn't mind me smoking cigars. At least not yet. And I don't have money to spend anyways, so she can't complain about that either. She tried to smoke one with me once, and hated it. So I'm hoping she won't try to get me to quit anytime. I better buy her more flowers soon.

So I ask the important question to all of you, "When does one give up smoking cigars from the request of a loved one?"

It's been requested and it is my decision to not quit. Selfish yes, but it's my choice and it's a decision I must live with. I've probably done more damage to my system smoking cigarettes for 15 years than I'm probably doing with cigars. It's a gamble with health I'm sure, but one I'm going to take.

Regarding smoking in the hoouse - my son has asthma and bad allergies so I don't. Regarding spending on cigars - my wife and I work from the same "purse" - hers - LOL. No really, I don't hide what I spend but don't let it get out of hand either. Both my wife and I are relatively careful about spending. This enables us to live a relatively nice life.

wrong question.

correct question is, "why would a loved one ask the one she loves to quit doing something he enjoys. smoking a cigar"

what will be the next request? (demand)

don't even worry about your health, like the dr says to the 60 year old man who has just married a 20 year old, "too much sex could cause a death" to which the 60 year old says "if she dies, she dies"

i smoked cigarettes from 1948 until 1988, switched to a pipe until 1995, and now cigars.

my dr asked how many a day. i told him his question was irrelevant and shoed him a 5 X 38 and the famous amlhambra 8 1/2 x 52.

the point to all of this is an MRI i had 2 years ago showed my lungs to be clear as a newborn baby.

smoke lots of cigars, eat lots of good chocolate, stay up all night and go to work half asleep, work out at least once a month, buy a car that is more then you can afford, and enjoy the good life.

My wife is very supportive of my wonderful habit. Cigars causes her breathing problems, plus it does make house smell. I agree on both accounts. I have nice basement area in winter, with stereo, tv, stocked fridge, etc, in summer same amenities but on screen porch. She never complains about the almost weekly shipments, life if good.

My wife knows what makes me happy even if she doesen't particularly care for it. She bought me my first huumidor as an annivesary gift and buys me special cigars as gits. She suprises me sometimes with her knowledge of cigars even though she doesn't smoke. I didn't think she was paying attention. LOL

I have my own credit card and checking account seperate from household stuff. So she never asks how much and doesn't need to. She does comment under her breath every now and then when she buys me cigars as gifts as to how expensive my hobby is.

I have a ventilated room to smoke in because I have house full of Parrots that are sensitive to such things so I don't smoke in other parts of the house.

The best part of it all is that she is my Fishin' Partner!

Rick,
you feeling important?
I like loud music, but I don't play it at midnight when my families sleeping. Whipped?
If Toby woke up tomorrow with a phobia of hummingbirds what would you do?
A wife's objection is not a demand to give up your enjoyable obsession.

I don't smoke in my truck because I don't like the way it smells for the next three to four days. I don't smoke in the house, despite the fact that my wife (ex-cigarette smoker) said, "I don't care if you smoke in the house," because I don't like the way it smells for the next three or four days.

Rick, I think you should become the new spokesman for the tobacco industry with a pitch based on the fact that smoking hasn't killed you yet.........how naive you can be, Grasshopper.

Being PW does have its good side, Rick. The P side.

I make all the big decisions in my house, like whether we should go to war with Iraq and how long to torture Saddam before allowing him to die. Just to be fair, though, I let my wife make some of the little decisions, such as whether I should smoke inside or outside.

"important"

i am 5'1". so i am a little guy, living in a little house, in a little town i never heard of until i moved here. my importance is about the same as the little cast iron cat we have to keep the door open.

if toby developed a phobia with hummingbirds, i would try to cure her or i would have to euthanize her.

we are on a tobacco board and you think i am naive because i'm not dead yet.

mark twain spent the last two or three years of his life, in perfect health, writing and smoking cigars.
why didn't he get out of bed?

a limo pulls up to the front of a very fancy hotel and the wife goes in registers, tips the desk clerk $100. and tells him to have someone carry her husband to the room and set him in an easy chair.

the desk clerk asks quietly, "can't he walk?" to which the wife replies






"of course he can, but he doesn't have to"

This is something I do not understand.

Why would you have to hide anything from your partner??

I guess I view this different. Russ is free to buy anything he wants just as long as we have the finances to purchase it. But, on the other hand...we discuss everything. We hide nothing from one another. I love for him to buy cigars...it makes him happy. I just wish I knew more about them so I could make confident purchases for him.

I do know....If I found out Russ was hiding something from me....I would kick his A$$ and than smoke all his cigars...I wouldn't even share!!! LOL

Mrs. Usahog --- you are a lot like my wife. I now know that Russ is a very luck man ... we keep nothing from each other, and after 15 years of marriage ... it works ...

... a lot alike, that is, except for her smoking my cigars. She can't stand them ... but she doesn't stop me form doing what I enjoy.

After all ... there are a lot worse things that I could 'pleasure' myself with, that just wouldn't be cool with my life's partner ...

Hey Rick,dad gum if ya ain't had a couple of good post.You either moving toward the right or i am moving toward the center,Nahhhh.Any way I like the tip bout opening the shipments from the bottom.Tired of lugging the old shop vac in to suck them dang thangs up.On another post. I am lucky to have a wife that feels the same way as Mrshog.Wife never complains about my Cigars.Makes it easy on my Birthday,Christmas,etc.She thows me her credit card and says Ya wana bid on some Cigars. Have had the pleasure of getting to know USAhog and find he shares a lot of my views.One last thing,Some of the other post reminded me of a very old Redd Foxx joke.Fellow brought a box home one night,The wife asked him what he had in the box,He said we needed a pet so I got us one.She peeks in the box and jumps back,Thats a skunk why in the world would you bring home a skunk and where will we keep it? Fellow smiles at her and says, We will keep it in the bedroom.Wife says what about the smell? Fellow says-Hell Let Him Get Used To It Like I Did:)

I may be just a young punk whose not married, but when I start getting sh*t from the lady for too many cigars, I bring up her $200 hair cut, her many pairs of shoes, and constant luncheons with her female friends.

I bet I get more enjoyment per dollar from my cigars, then any $200 dollar hair cut.

Robby, that was GREAT!! Flowbee. Hilarious!!

I can't complain, my wife cuts my hair every three weeks.

I am truly blessed with the best wife in the world. She supports me in all of my hobbies including hunting, fishing, shooting, cigars, Kentucky Basketball, bonsai, etc... She enjoys a good cigar with me on occassion. I have to keep a stock of her cigars in the humidor cause I never know when she will want to join me for a smoke on the patio. She went deep sea fishing with me on our honeymoon and loved it, she picked up shooting even though her grandfather and uncle committed suicide with guns, and I've transformed her into a UK hoops fan (which is saying something seeing she went to UC).

I am truly blessed to be married to my wife!!!
