today was great.

today was my wife's first cigar. what was it?

5 vegas limitada 08


in a bit over a month my wife is going to vegas for work. all the people involved are cigar people except her.
she needed to be able to smoke a cigar like an old pro. she asked me to show her how to smoke.

so today, we went far a walk. i took a Davidoff Millennium blend lonsdale, and she took a 5 vegas limitada 08. i showed her my pre-lite routine. i showed her how to cut a cigar. i showed her how to toast the foot and how to puff. i showed her a bit of cigar etiquette.
then she surprised me. she pulled flavors out like she was an old pro. she noted notes of coco with the sweetness you get from molasses, a light wood flavor, and a bit of white pepper.

i thought my wife was awesome before....





she also took a few puffs of the Davidooff.
of course she liked the $16 cigar more....

i hope this leads to a cabinet style humidor.

I've met your wife and knew she was awesome before. Now she's even awesomer! That's not ever a word!

Oh snap that's the coolest.
My flame agreed to try a cigar this 4th of July so I'm looking forward to having a story like that.

Wish I could get the current flame interested. She's stopped harassing me about it, but the past three exes would all partake on occasion with me. This one ain't going near one so far.

Very nice. Some of the best times Ive had over a cigar was with the ol lady. I have the same problem, though, as you quickly found out. My girls favorites include the Casa Fuente, Xicar Conn., and RJ ISOMs. Yeah, thats a problem. Hahaha....but its worth it to have the kids sleeping and enjoy a nice cigar and movie together. Best thing for the both of us. Right on brudda. Enjoy!

I think the proper english is "more awesomer".

I'm glad to see that other wives/girlfriends are smoking cigars too. When my wife and I were in Myrtle Beach in March, we went to the Blarney Stone and they have a cigar bar upstairs. I was smoking a Deisel and my wife tried it and liked it.

Now we smoke together daily out on our patio. She started with the more mild sticks, but now she really likes the medium to full. She loves the Graycliff G2 Turbos and the 1666.

It's really great spending time together and sharing a common hobby. The side benefit is that she is getting to know cigars and gifted me with some Cohibas for Father's Day!

My wife won't ever puff because of her asthma, but she wants to. She enjoys the aromas while we sit on the balcony and chat.

My fiancee puffs on one every once in a while, but like yours matt, she has expensive tastes. She prefers the 10-15 dollar sticks. I have tried to introduce her to some more reasonably priced alternatives, but yet to find one she likes as much. Luckily, she only has one once in a while.

all this is build up to a bigger thing that deals with cigars.... but thats not 100% so i dont wanna risk cursing it.


my wife is the greatest.

she was so against cigars for so long but as we were smoking she told me that she saw how passionate i was about it and to better understand me she needs to better understand what i love (besides her)
i responded by telling her she should ask my girlfriend...

but seriously, she is awesome to even think about taking time to understand my passions. this is the entire reason why i married her. she really is my best friend. its good to (hopefully) have a live in smoking buddy.




...she drinks good beer too.
