I voted it depends. Generally, I follow a "don't ask - don't tell" policy about buying cigars, so most of the time the answer is No. However, if I am going to make a REALLY big purchase, I'll discuss it first. E.g., in the summer of 2008, when the first SCHIP bill was being pushed, I told my wife about the anticipated tax, and she suggested that I buy about $1,000 worth of cigars. Needless to say, I was at the computer bright and early the next morning, and much of that stash is sitting in coolerdors in my basement right now. :smokingbo
