This poll is motivated out of capricious curiosity. My spouse is very supportive of my interest in cigars. I started to wonder if we could collect some answers for other contributors of FoH. The poll allows multiple choices for each answer.

Best,

Pete

When I met my wife I was already smoking cigars and she has always

been supportive of my cigar hobby. She enjoys sometimes, cutting

and lighting my cigar and after a few puffs hands it over to me.

For the holidays or other occasions, most of the time she buys me cigars

from my local cigar retailer and she knows exactly what I would like and the wrapper shade.

Once I was talking with my retailer and he said that my wife was more difficult in choosing

my cigars then I , even asking him to open several boxes before selecting . :flower:

Who's complaining ?? :P

My wife supports my cigars as much as can be expected and commonly gives me lighters, cutters, etc. for occasions. She has no idea how much i spend on them though. That could change things a bit...

When I grow up I want to be Guy.

me too.

And he lives in the south of France......

In seriousness,she tolerates the cigars,with the occaisional whinge.

But I still fight for the right to smoke in the conservatory,or man cave.

I kind of weigh the cost up against the pairs of shoes that seem to magically appear in the wardrobe.......

My wife isn't against it and have bought me my wine cooler to store the cigars in.

She did insist that they stay out of the bedroom using some excuse like she would rather I stared at her with eyes misted with love.

And regarding the cost, we men suffer from the inability to hide the costs of our vices, women will hide bought clothing or shoes and chew on the receipts, we fumble into the house with a box of cigars like a Neanderthal carrying a new caught pray :lol:

I started smoking cigars after I got married...until that point, both myself and my wife smoked cigarettes...my wife does not pay much attention either way about my cigars...she will ask, though, if I have my cigar and accessories before leaving the house if she knows it'll be a setup where I can smoke

I would not keep dating a girl that had serious issues with my cigar smoking if I wasa smoking before we were dating...eff that

cigars have not been positive nor negative in my relationship

My fiance is into cigars. Although she is not as serious about cigars as I am, she does smoke with me about once or twice a month. She has also agreed to a honeymoon in Cuba next March with a mainly cigar-focused itinerary. Her only condition was that we stay in Nassau for a few days after. It was a fair compromise if you ask me!

I'm glad I don't have to worry about the affect cigars could have on a relationship. Cigars have never come between my significant other and me. I think if a person dislikes your hobby/addiction of cigar smoking and leaves you for it, there were probably other issues besides cigars that caused the relationship to deteriorate.

My girlfriend of 6 years tells me that she dosent mind my cigar smoking, if im honest im not sure i believe her lol.

I think if she would prefer me not to smoke cigars, but seein as my cigar smoking is in no way important or connected to my relationship i really dont give a toss what she thinks! Lol

Some men drink excessivley, take drugs, gamble and womanise.

I just tell her im contented with cold pint a nice cigar, puffing and thinking how lucky i am to have her and all the other people i hold dear close to me.

The only issue regarding cigars that comes between us is the cost / expense.

As far as smoking - she regularly encourages me to go and have a cigar. I actually decline the suggestion far more than accept. Some days, I'm "just not it the mood". :lol:

Good poll. My response to question one fell somewhere between "Tolerates interest with good humour; might get you a box as a gift" and "Tolerates cigar smoking; s/he would prefer if you gave it up". My wife would never buy me a box in a billion years, but doesn't necessarily push me to quit. She knows what cigars are to me and likes it because it puts me in a relaxes me. She did buy me a real nice ash tray for Christmas.

Good topic! I've never had a girlfriend have a problem with me smoking cigars (most girls thought it was pretty hot actually <_<) But my current girlfriend isn't a huge fan of smoke in any way shape or form, but supports me in my hobby. I have my cigars sent to her parents's house (although they don't know I smoke cigars as they hate smoking :unsure:) and occasionally will lend me money to buy a box!

She even pushed me into buying certain limited edition/special cigars when I'm considering whether or not to buy them. She'll carry some cigars in her purse for me when we go out and reminds me to bring a cigar if we go somewhere I'm probably gonna get bored.

She makes fun of my hobby all the time yet I keep running to her and showing her my new purchases like a dog presenting it's owner with a dead bird. I keep telling her to smell the great smell but the response is always: "smells the same as the last one"

All in all she's pretty supportive, but I wouldn't date her if she pushed me to quit.

Fiancee smokes occassionally with me, (only when she's in the mood for one) and does enjoy it. I would never get into a relationship if they made me quit, it's too important, in fact, it's my livelihood. It's also never an issue but can sometimes be positive, some of the best conversations we've had has been over a cigar.

Both my current GF and last GF liked to share a few puffs with me. The current girl will even take a whole cigar on occasion. Out of the many, many, many girlfriend's I've had, I would say that these are the exceptions, not the norm. Although, I have had other girlfriends in the past who contributed to my passion, including one who bought me a very nice humi that I still use today.

It's never been a major issue with the women I've dated. They're never too thrilled about this passion of mine but none of them have attempted to make me quit either. The steps I take to minimize the 'effects' of cigar smoking, such as carrying mints with me, is also a major factor I think.

Some wine or champagne prior to lighting up doesn't hurt either :)

Mine enjoys trying a puff or two of whatever I'm smoking and actually has a decent palate. Heck she let me plant a 6' humi in the downstairs living room, and changed the design of the room to match it, so I have no reason to complain!

I didn't begin smoking cigars until after I was married. My wife does not take any major issue to my cigar smoking as she still smokes cigarettes. The problems are peripheral. More related to the cost/expense of cigars and the long stretch of continuous time I require to properly enjoy them. However, that said, she has purchased cigars for me as a gift on ocassion.

My girlfriend is supportive of my hobby and encourages me to partake when I can though. However, she doesn't like the smell and doesn't want to be in the room... let alone her actually smoking one. I guess she can't say much though since she smokes Marboro lights ;)
