“It’s about the notes, Sarah,” I said, puffing with the intensity of a steam engine. “Can you smell the hints of cedar and toasted almond?” Sarah stood in the doorway, waving a can of industrial-strength Febreze like a defensive weapon. “I smell a garage fire and the reason our life insurance premium is going up. Also, you look like a mob boss who’s being forced to live in a shed.”

Never entered one of your giveaways before and I like this prompt.
She started out disliking how many packages from Bath PA show up on our door haha. I explain that they’re a discount site and I only buy stuff that goes even further on sale. So now she shows indifference. Like me she’s a huge Tony Rice fan so she really likes the Southern Draw Manzanita even though I’ve never smoked one around her. And every time I light an Aganorsa signature selection maduro she comments that it smells amazing. Always says she’s gonna pick me up something cool from a shop when she goes on trips without me. Never does. That most likely includes the trip to Florida she’s leaving on tomorrow. Love the reviews and stories

My wife hates the ones that “smell like butt.” By this, she usually has sniffed out a Sumatra wrapper from across the room. Certainly some Habanos and even some Broadleaf gets the proverbial stink-eye, but that lady can identify Sumatra leaf with extreme prejudice!
The only stick she’s ever said nice things about was when I got twenty Oliva MasterBlend 3 lonsdales from CigarPage last summer. She was a fan.

I’m extremely fortunate that my better half seems to be fascinated by my cigar obsession. I tend to my cigars as one would a garden and she enjoys watching the discipline that comes with that. She actually reads every review of each cigar I smoke (about 600@yr). Needless to say, I hope this lasts till my last puff on Earth!

Alanna has a love/hate relationship with my cigar affection. I got her to smoke cigars with me. I have her try all sorts of stuff and she’s developed a good palate. So she really doesn’t give me too much guff. She knows I’m a deal seeker, a nicer label than cheap, so money’s not a problem. Her biggest complaint is about how many cigars I smoke because she’s worried about my health. I assure her the stress her crazy ass puts me through will kill me long before cigars will!

To be honest, I’ve never discussed this subject with her, but she likes to make little snide comments like, “Gawd! How many cigars do you need?” or, “You got a package. I think it’s more cigars,” Comments like these imply a certain dissatisfaction on her part, but she’s never explicitly said anything.

My wife doesn’t just tolerate cigars, she weaponizes them. She buys me sticks because she likes that I have a hobby that keeps me calm, then uses that fact as leverage whenever I look at a new box. She sends me outside to relax and keeps me there. I’m probably the only guy who gets gifted cigars and audited at the same time.

I like to spend time on the back patio when I smoke cigars. When we first got married my wife said she like the smell because it gave her fond memories of her grandfather who was always smoking in the basement to get away from her grandmother.
That was 16 years ago, now she tolerates the smell and says my cigars have gotten stinkier. Maybe so, but when she comes out to join me and smoke a joint, I think her weed is horribly stinky – it didn’t use to be though.
I got lucky with my wife, she’s great. She doesn’t complain and let’s me indulge in all my weird hobbies without saying a thing. And I leave her alone to all her weird hobbies. Win win.

My wife are “young seniors”. Of all things, our refined daughter got us into cigars about 5 years ago. Since then, a reasonable chunk of our fixed income goes to the pursuit and enjoyment of a good cigar. And thank you Katman, for your profane yet educational reviews, which has helped with that pursuit. And Cigar Page has been my go-to from the beginning. So, to answer the question, cigars are a mutual indulgence with the only firm rule being, “never ever in the house”, which I have no issues with.

What my wife hates about cigar smoking By Don Cavanaugh
To her, a cigar is not a relaxing ritual. It is a traveling cloud that clings to my clothes like it signed a lease. The smell follows me indoors, sets off her allergies, and occasionally turns into a coughing fit she never volunteered for. On top of that, she sees the time commitment as a slow burning hourglass where productivity quietly drifts away. What I experience as peaceful downtime, she often experiences as lingering smoke and lost time.
