Good Luck

Not a matter of financial "crunch", all the bills stay paid and the wifey does as she pleases. Nor is a matter of the wife objecting to me smoking cigars. She just used to take my "Boy, this is a great deal and I need these for my humi so I'll have a great variety" at face value......because she really had no concept of how many, and how many different cigars I already had. That bubble has now burst and I must further the wife's education on why it is necessary to have lots and lots of different cigars......and lots and lots of the ones you really like......and lots and lots that you can give to friends and not miss.......etc.....

Ya'll know what I'm talking about.

Women understand "on sale". I too like to buy cigars on sale or some other special price.
Women understand "variety". Just check out some of her collections.
Those two are easy, however, "lots and lots" could be an issue. I like to buy ahead and let them age a while in my humi. I feel this is a necessary step and so the majority of my cigars are aging and will be consumed in due time.
Some cigars are not always available. Buy them when they are available because the price will most likely go up next time around.
Cigars will never loose their value. What, the life of a well kept cigar could be 50 years? Oh, I wish I had some 1958 Dunhills in my humi.
Lastly, explain to her that you intend to seek help for your obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I recently got some Dunhills as our smoke shop started carrying them. I really like them, they are smooth, no harshness or bitterness, they shift flavors several times very subtly, and smoke perfectly. I didn't even know they made cigars until a few weeks ago, I thought they only produced pipes and pipe tobacco.
