Take it from someone with past experience. Don,t ever change from who you are into someone your not for a women. If you want to quit for yourself then fine but if you just met her and she is already trying to mold you into someone else it will just get worse. You will wake up one day and say to yourself " Self, what the fuck have I become and why? Be yourself and enjoy life. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Bit of a change in those two post. As BPP already said... sounds like you're trying to justify it to yourself and us differently now.
Stopping smoking cigars is going to help you get out of debt... you must smoke a ton... then again I only light up maybe 4-6 times a month normally.
What do your friends (IRL not on the web) think of her? What do your friends think of you giving up booze/smokes? Whatever you decide to do is your call but I think most of us agree you're making the wrong decision.

There is somebody out there who will take you just the way you are. Don't get wrapped up in the infatuation thing too much. That goes away and you're left with what you turned yourself into (notice that I didn't say what "she" turned you into. They are all choices you are going to make.) And don't be in too much of a hurry. Getting married ain't like buying a car. For those of us who have been through it, it is either going to be a lifetime partnership or a tremendous heartbreak if it goes wrong.
Step back, light up a cigar and take a drink or two. Let her reactions guide your decision.
Remember, the day is going to come when you are going to get tired of sacrificing the things you want just so you please her, and you will resent the whole situation.

OH! I just found something ironic as heck. Enjoy. There is always some truth in every joke.

Husband store
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is so true...
A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City,
where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how
the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE !
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as
the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a
you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the
building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband .
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and
are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are
drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are
drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

HAha, yeah that was my post.
I had actually thought about stopping smoking before I got back with her. Getting back together with her was just a good reason to do it. This thing with this girl isnt someone I just met, its been an ongoing thing for about 7 years now.
Cigars arent a big part of my life as it might be to some of you guys so its not too hard to give up. I dont drink alot either so that wasnt really a problem either. In my mind, its just a couple small sacrafices that I could make to make something else happen.
Im sure you all love cigars, but have they ever loved you back?

Wait wait wait... getting back with her... ongoing (and obviously off going) for 7 years. Anybody else hearing those loud ass annoying warning sirens?
My cigars love me back everytime they touch my lips.

I can only mimmick what everybody else already stated. You should have to change nothing about yourself for anybody. I can empathize with paying down bills, etc. I am in the same position. However, it's about priorities. I don't buy what I can't afford, and it never comes before priorities.
If you truly enjoy a good smoke (and drink, or both) every now and then, do it. If the lady doesn't like it she needs to go. You will be miserable in the long run if you change yourself for someone else.
Light up, and enjoy.
again,emp...your mind was made up...go back with her...let her mold you into what she wants you to be...get rid of your cigars and don't listen to what EVERY one of us had to offer......have a beautiful life together....
i'd run so fast...no pussy is good enough to take your balls...trust me..

Kid, you gotta ask yourself one thing, "Is the fuckin I'm getting worth the Fuckin I'm getting" Hint, the fucking will soon stop but the Fuckin goes on forever.

You want to quit because you want to quit? If that were the case dude you wouldn't be using getting back with a girl you've been on again off again for 7 years as the reason. You posted a thread saying I quit I THINK, again if you really wanted to would it just be an I think? Then you make the statement that cigars aren't that big of a part of your life, you joined a cigar forum on which you post at least once per day on average, seems to be adecent sized part.
Here's the deal like BPP said you made up your mind before you posted this thread so just say "hey guys I'm quitting cigars." You wanted this big ol response of good idea guy but come on you're asking cigar smokers. Hey man if you really want to quit then that's awesome but from your posts it sounds almost like a guy beat into submission and now trying to convince himself that he's giving up something he loves because he wants to. Just not buying it.

I agree with the others, NEVER settle, and NEVER change who you are... You'll only be miserable....

Weak man , real weak. I cannot see your angle because I am married to a woman who occasionally smokes cigars with me and occasionally drinks beer with me. She does her things and I do my things and we do things together.
I think you should throw the cigars in the trash can so your testicles will not be lonely
