Spousal Approval

[guado]

My wifes father smoked cigarettes when she was very young...then quit those and started with cigars.

Basically since she has grown up her dad has smoked cigars.

She never had an issue with them and always made sure I had "cigar time" whenever we hung out with friends. On trips to daytona she would always ask if I was going to stop at the indian store(cigar shop right before you get to the beach).

She has always been ok with it...although recently she mentioned I had PLENTY of cigars....and yes I do...and I don't need anymore.

The only thing she expressed to me is she didn't want me smoking everyday/all the time. I don't smoke in the house or in the car...that is my own choice.

She will try to have one with me occasionally but usually can't. I just buy her some chocolate ones or something.

No real stories other than I can no longer bitch when she spends money on what I consider to be dumb purchases. She gets me with the same comeback every freakin' time when I do. The other day, I said to her- "you spent 20 bucks on a damn bottle of shampoo???". Her reply-- "What? You spend that much on one cigar!" Shuts me right up, I tell you.

She does have an occasional cigar with me. Her cigar of choice is the CAO Bella Vanilla. I am slowly breaking her in on MC #5's now.

Every once in a while Sarah will sip a cigar with me. I tell ya, she is the cutest thing when she does it. She's afraid she's gonna inhale it, so she's real careful with it, it's too cute.

My wife is fine with it. I don't go too crazy in my purchases. I buy by the group of fivers or sampler for the most part, a bundle here or there, onesies, twosies from the B&M occasionally. She'll take a sip or two on occasion, but she won't smoke a whole one. She even encourages me to "get a nice one" once in a while. Once when I went hog wild in a month, she just said, commented that I'd spent more than usual. That was it. She's a gem.
I don't smoke in the house, except maybe a few puffs by the lit fireplace. And in her car is definitely off limits (as long as I don't get caught).

I'm still trying to decide what to spend the $500 that Pauline is giving me to spend on cigars for Xmas. ...'nuff said.

Except that maybe Godfather has some suggestions. He seems to be really obsessed with this lately.

My wife is great about it. As long as I stay within my budget and don't smoke in the house, everything is cool. Sometimes she gives me this when I start raving about some new stick that I just got, but she listens and nods and throws in the appropriate amount of "uh-huh's" to show she is making an effort.....kinda like I do when she's talking clothes, or shoes, or candles.....smiley2:

I just can't smoke in the house (Even in the basement. It works it's way up through the cracks.), or spend a huge amount on cigars. She also doesn't want me smoking every day or neglecting things to smoke. Reasonable requests in this day and age. Although I never realized how much time I DON'T have until we had the baby.

I get about three cigars a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Mostly on the weekends.

My wife got me into smoking seriously by getting me some quality cigars for a gift... so, needless to say, she's pretty cool about it. She does worry about me smoking too much, she's convinced I'm going to get cancer. But as long as I limit it to one or two a week she's okay. When she gets on my case I try to remind myself that it's only because she wants me around for a while, but it's still annoying.

Whenever I smoke (which is always outside) she'll usually come outside to talk and take a puff of the cigar. She hates it and always makes a nasty face, but it doesn't stop her from trying the next cigar I smoke.
