Jgibv and Marty, thank you guys both so much for such kind words and support! I don't think we will be able to buy a house yet since we still both have outstanding student loans and we haven't been at our jobs for more than a year, so no one will grant us a loan. However, we are looking at some rent to own places, and a few other choices where it would be a lease and is renovation friendly. Regardless when we get truly serious about it we will keep you all in the loop... aside from the new addy that is, can't have y'all getting ahold of it
Just depends on her mood. Shes prone to exaggerate and now and then she'll start with the " all you care about is those cigars" but most of the time she's cool with it. She did get me a nice tube and 4 sticks for my birthday.

Irish, I got a guy you need to call, PM to you
I feel your pain Irish. I switched from an employee (W2) last year to a 1099, and although I make a lot more now than I did then, I still can't get a home loan because of the switch. Keep your head up though, just means you have a little more time to find the right one.
Supportive????hmm well she thinks I'm crazy but likes this hobby over my last one which was video games!! Lol she is coming around and actually laughs at some of the threads I tell her about, it's like trying to explain to my 2 year old how to spell when I try to explain our terminology. Lol I actually caught her today as I sat next to her on the bed going threw my humi she was actually picking up some and smelling them and telling whether they smell good or not! I must keep her lol I have way to much invested in her lol

My wife supports it, and actually got me more into it that I would have on my own. She got pissed when I was toying with the idea of selling off my collection.
Obviously I support it since Brett got me involved almost a year ago. Brett supports me too since I obviously can't get him off the forum on occasion and there are even days where we convience eachother it's time for a kick back and stick day together.
My fiancée bought me my first humidor and a nice cutter a little over a year ago. She says they stink, but she always suggests I go smoke whenever I want and sits outside with me sometimes.
Gibs, when God made us, he also made couple others to accompany us in life. They are all out there and we meet them in different time. Do not give up brother, life is so precious and each day is a great gift.

i envy those of you with supportive others.... i have yet to find someone in my family who is supportive of my hobby.
Mine got me into the hobby. Since we got married, my wife and mother-in-law would go pick out a cigar for me for every father's day. I smoked one now and then, but most of the time I left them in the ziplock bag from the b&m.
Last year we went on vacation with the in-laws and my wife suggested I buy a few sticks to bring along and share with my FIL. I started trying some sticks and read some forums. After learning a little, I dug out the cigars my wife had been giving me. I found several gems including a opus x with at least 5 years on it. Fortunately it survived being improperly stored.
It's been a buying spree ever since. Now she picks out which cigar I should smoke, and makes sure it's not sick. She also hangs out outside with me while I enjoy a cigar.
The other fun part is that I found out one of my brothers really is into cigars as well. Now he comes over and herfs now occasionally. He even brought me a small selection of cc's from a recent trip to Mexico.
My wife is very supportive, she has bought me 2 humidors and always tells me to herf or go to cigar events. You know you have a winner when she is in constant contact with "The Beard". When I talk to "The Beard" on the phone he will say "say hi to Shelby for me".
