Does your wife know....?

[WFZone]

Does your wife have any idea how much money you spend on cigars each year and what would she do if she found out???

Personally, I think I would probably singing soprano the rest of my life.

[Ironman]

No she doesn't and I would be killed if she found out :smt075

yall are all in trouble when she surf here when your not around.......

[MadAl]

the obvious response if she found out would be "How much do you spend on shoes?"

[gonz]

She knows exactly what i spend on everything. Even gets bummed when i can't do this, or buy that, because theres often not enough to go around.

Other people we know spend all their money going out drinking, or on hotel rooms screwing other people, so i guess in contrast, my hobbies ain't that bad.

Hmmm ok. So, no marriage it is! hehehe:smt082

[sunivy]

I'm being bombed, hun. Really.

[Mali]

We both know what each other is spending, mostly because i handle all the money (so i can see what she spends), and i tell her when i buy something.

She actually encourages me to purchase things, but since i know the $$ situation, i usually never can afford to..

but all in all... we both know.

[Sean9689]

No wifey here, the girlfriend knows but can't say anything about it. By the time I get married, my cigar collection will be so stupid that the wife-to-be must accept it as is (that's my plan anyway).

[Black Dog]

I don't have a wife at the moment, but my plan for cigars is the same as for my firearm collection. I intend to have so many of each by the time I settle down again that she will have no idea if any of them are new acquistions or not. :smt066 :smt033

It's not always like that. My wife doesn't like me smoking cigars, but doesn't say anything about what I spend. Maybe it's because I buy about a box a month and it's not too bad. But she offered to buy me this

My knows how much I spend and even bought me an Aristocrat for an anny gift. I buy her EXCELLENT anny gifts and after hints have been dropped I buy her what she wants.

[Buckwheat]

I also believe in a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. My wife doesn't really spend any money (at least not as much as I do). I handle all of the money/bills so my wife never sees any of the cost of things I purchase (e.g. guitars, cigars, music, etc...). I guess that she doesn't care too much as long as we still follow are "rules". I've always believe that you pay yourself first (savings & retirement), then the kids (college fund), then pay cash for everything else (no rolling credit card debt, both cars paid off, 12 years left on house). I turn forty this year and it has worked well so far...

[SMOKOZUNA]

Let's just say that my wife is an accountant. She can track down expenses to the penny. ](*,) :smt089 #-o

[km13]

She has a pretty good idea, not exactly. But she doesn't worry as we don't do without adn I don't do much else.

[jcleer1]

The wife has never asked, and I'm not sure if she really has a clue as to much $$ I have tied up in inventory. I think she would s*#@!! I made the mistake once of telling her how much a bottle of Walker Blue Label was and now cannot bring one home for that reason. I could, but it definately would not be worth the bitching.

[Halon]

I don't flex for no one..

All I have in this world is my balls, and my word, and I don't break 'em for no one, you understand?

My wife knows and has recently laid the smack down. :smt079 :smt086 I am currently engaged in covert negotiations and am making progress :-\" . She allowed me to start a buying club and just recently allowed me to make a purchase from a BOTL. So, slowly but surely things are looking up :-k .

Hell no,

But seeing I have a gun collection over 30k before we were married, she doesnt complain too much. Thank god for business accounts.

[Rank_Tyro]

By the time I ever get a wife, I am hoping that I will have brainwashed her enough that I will be able to continue smoking and buying.

Although, to tell the truth, that is on the low end of the scale....
If God's willing, and the river don't rise, I'll have a woman brainwashed enough that an open marriage and seperate vacations will be the issues instead of cigars. :)

[caudio51]

She has somewhat of a clue but not really. I won't fill her in on the details.

She wouldn't care but would look at me like I am crazy.

[cvm4]

Nice topage! :thumbsup:

MY wife has no clue of how much I really spend on cigars and accessories. I have my Cigar of the Month club that goes right to the house but everything else gets shipped to work.

My fiance knows how much I spend. She doesn't care, she actaully contributes to my habit by randomly buying me cigars

[ohpus]

I do a lot of trading with a lot of VERY generous brothers!!!!!! I don't even want to think about how bad she would wig out!!!!!!! Now I need to go buy some more smokes just to calm down from the thought of this thread!!!

[Shawn]

My wife is home when the mail runs so she knows all the packages I get. I have never put a cash value on the boxes and she doesn't ask. Of course, she's trying to get that nose job she has always wanted. So, it all works out.

[cvm4]

Hmmmm...

[goin' fer smoke]

Looks like this has been bumped...

No, I intercept about half the other half she see and half of those I clam are bombs (thanks for the excuse guys)

I think I have about worn her down and she just ends up shaking her head...

[Kenny]

The question in my house DO I know what she spends on cigars. Her and one of her friends went on a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas and let me tell you. She brought back several Cuban Cigar and here is the kicker. TOLD me Im not to smoke them because SHE spent alot on them. Still to this day I have no idea what she spent.

[Headbanger]

Nice top Cliff! :thumbsup:

I am on the don't tell and hope she don't ask method of buying.

[coyote_5]

Ha! Funny thread, nice topper.

My decent into the sickness ;) is still in the infancy stage. So right now when packages arrive she's still pretty easy going and okay with it.

Yesterday one arrived and she was like "MORE cigars?!" but she had a smile on her face so I think it's still all good. I think it helped when I showed her it was the butane I was expecting last week....

I do have 2 more packages arriving late this week or early next week....If they show up on Monday I'm golden cause I get home before her that day and can intercept the mail. :yes:

All in all, I think she's on board with the hobby for now.... come to think of it, last weekend we were at a family function (her side) where she was telling everybody how she bought me a humidor and now I'm obsessed with buying cigars....get this, you guys'll get a kick out of this one, she said: "He's got like 75 cigars!!!" As in, she can't imagine needing to have 75 all at once....





sheesh. Maybe I AM in trouble....

Later!

Pretty funny, but this is where a lot of folks are at. Just gently correct her and explain the 75 count humidor is your smoking stash. The larger storage unit is full of boxes and offer to show her.

[Halon]

I currently have my 2 coolerdors, my desktop, and my 2 large travel humidors at the GF's apartment cause I spend all my time there. It's not so much that she's mad about how many cigars I have, but more about how often I smoke them. Which is bullshit, cause I smoke maybe 4 times a week at most.
I'm getting a house soon and I'm building a walk-in. It's gonna be sweet. Prolly build it on a small (like 2") platform and make it so I can take it down with relative ease cause I'll move when college is over.

[Dougful]

My solution has been an expensive one with the wife. I just spend as much on her as I do on the hobby and it keeps the even keel.

[eodcole]

My soon to be wife likes wine. So while I'm traveling to different countries I will buy a bottle or two of wine for her. That way she gets something and I have my cigars. It seems to be working thus far. However she does not know how much I've spent while here in Turkey and does not know about the two coolers I have full of boxes. She'll find out in Sept when I send them home in the mail. My tactic here was to just get the "what the hell?" reaction once instead of time and time again when more and more boxes show up.

[vperlman]

She doesn't know, and she wouldn't care. Same goes for me regarding her wardrobe and accessories.

[dpricenator]

No WAY. Maybe if I go to the B&M while we are out, but she thinks everything I bought here was a gift. She has seen a couple of charges oin the card anbd I always get a scolding. So I just go in the garage and sulk while smoking a great cigar. haha
