I'm not giving up my cigars

Earlier today, my wife suggested that we come to an agreement regarding the number of cigars I smoke. She suggested 1 per week. I told her I enjoy them and I don't want to put restrictions on them; we left it at that.......I have a feeling this will be brought up again...

btw, I usually smoke 2 per week

Outdoors, though, right? Otherwise I'm siding with her, and I like a good (well, decent) cigar occasionally. I smoke upwards of 10 a year! :laugh:

Make a deal. Use the cigar as inspiration to work something out with her. Do Freud proud.

Yeah. Give up smoking them if she'll agree to smoke yours. And while she's down there, encourage her to inhale. 😉
 
Start smoking more, like 4 or 5 a week. She'll bring it up again and you can bargain it down to 2 a week. She'll think she's won and you get to keep your cigars.

Yes, always outdoors. One day, when we have a bigger house (and I'm reaching here), I'd like to have a designated cigar room with mahogany wood furniture and rich leather brown chairs.

Tragically, I think a woman's memory-span is longer than that of a goldfish...

This is why you have to plan ahead and go overboard on everything. At least thats my plan. *chugs down a beer and smokes two cigars at once*
 
You smoke 2 a week and she wants you smoking 1? Does she desperately need a hobby, or is she just trying to tell you she wears the pants in your marriage? :laugh: I guess you just have to ignore women, otherwise they'll drive you nuts.

It makes no sense I tell you

Sometimes I'll smoke 3 a week, but never more than that.

Agreed, this sounds like a power/control thing, like she's trying to see how much she can get you to do. 1 cigar vs. 2 is silly. It'd be different if she wanted you to give up cigars entirely or limit yourself to 1 a month or something.
 
You probably inhale more carcinogenic fumes grilling on your deck a few times a week or walking down the road sucking car exhaust than you do puffing on cigar or two.

It's not like you are huffing down a pack a day of cigarettes.

And that's coming from somebody who's half a step shy of anti-smoking zealot.

Twice as unhealthy perhaps? 😉

My opinion on this matter directly relates to weather we are talking about meat cigars or not.

Did your wife ask you to cut back from two to one a week on those?
