Addicted? I think not...

[TexaSmoke]

I agree...Just smoke one

 

[Ratbert]

She would however, consider it proving her point I think.

Hell, that settles it...don't smoke one! :nono:

Think about all the times in the future when you'll be able to say, "You're wrong Honey, just like that time when you thought I couldn't go a month without smoking a cigar."

 

[Clinton]

A bet's a bet. If you smoke one tonight, even if she never finds out, you'll know that you lost. Don't do it, man.

Make sure she knows you had the chance, but skipped it as a man of honor. Then, when the month is up, smoke TEN in a week. Tell her you won and now you're making up for lost opportunities.

burn it man -- one of the great moments in a man's life in when he learns to recognize feminine manipulation and reject it --she'll be happier to ... 2 cents

 

[Irritech]

Fire-it-up!

Ditto! No need convincing me, two cigars per week is far from a habit. :guitar:

 

[Saully]

Interesting to see the divergence of opinion here. . . . Let us know what you decided to do.

 

[Electric Sheep]

A bet's a bet. If you smoke one tonight, even if she never finds out, you'll know that you lost. Don't do it, man.

That's be my advice as well.

 

[Brian]

I say don't do it. Then when the months up just bet her not to do something she enjoys for a month.:grin:

 

[jwintosh]

stupid bet to begin with. just do what she says and quit whining. otherwise, you'll be divorced twice, and you'll have lot's of smokes to keep you company.

 

[Gummi Bear]

I doubt seriously if you're addicted.

Stick it out. 2 weeks more isn't much of anything. There are times that I'll quit for a couple or three weeks just because, and with no further reason than that. As much as I love my cigars, I can leave them alone when I want to.

I was a 2 pack a day smoker for ~10 years too. Good for you for quitting.

I decided not to. I mean, yeah, maybe it was dumb to take the challenge. And yeah, maybe I am playing into female manipulation (okay, I am), BUT as several brothers on here have stated, whether or not my wife would know I smoked or not, I would know, and personally I think it would bother me. My brother even came over tonight and had dinner with me, and a cigar afterwards, and I didn't smoke. I still believe I'm no where near addicted and in the long run, I will be vindicated

 

[mwilson788]

I'll tell the ol lady to mind her own business. I'd challenge her to going a month without buying shoes. My wife stays off my back so I can't really complain.

 

[cvm4]

Just have one question: If you giving up cigars for a month what is she not doing. I would suggest that she is not longer allow to refuse you. Claim that she is addicted to power. If you have to give up something you like, shouldn't she?

:rofl:

And :applause: for not smoking

 

[AZsteelman]

well, you're not addicted...work you way up to 6 a day and then have that discussion again!

 

[joshrich]

The 30 days are up! Broke the drought with a Romeo Y Julietta courtesy of jwintosh Very nice creamy flavor. If anything good came out of this, it really made me give these smokes a chance to sit before I started back in again!

 

[JRL]

:thumbsup: Nice willpower man. Nice smoke to end the drought too. That jwintosh is a great brother. :clap:

 

[Rich K]

Way to go! Here's the question...what did the wife say?

 

[joshrich]

Way to go! Here's the question...what did the wife say?

Nothing really. She just sat outside with us and chatted. I'm not sure this is the end of it, but we'll see

 

[cvm4]

Hopefully she'll cut ya some slack :thumbsup:

 

[Trumpetchris]

I think a week would prove you're not addicted. She shouldn't be able to say anything now- plus, you're not smoking crack.
