    I fell out of the cigar loop for a little while. I want to get back into the hobby and, I was talking about it with my girlfriend and, found out that she fully supports me in getting back into it. I'd say that I'm pretty lucky as well. I think that we all have supportive significant others in our endeavors.

    Yeah, I'm burning up the boulevard! Thanks for the welcome back! I drop in and out. I've been gone for probably two years now.

    My fiance is very supportive of my cigar smoking hobby, and she always encourages me to have one when the mood strikes me.

    My boyfriend smokes cigars, I smoke cigars, my mom smokes cigars (I know there is a joke there somewhere...) So yes, we support each other's hobbies.

    My soon to be fiancé is okay with it. She's yet to buy me any cigars and thinks I have too many sometimes but generally doesn't say much if I buy more. In fact she actually talked me in to buying one a couple of weeks ago. She also said she is willing to try one but hasn't yet.

    No, she is completely against it. My gf is in dental school and constantly talks about how bad cigars are for you.

    Aj, sorry to hear about that, Keep at it brother you will find something sooner or later, my wife and I both smoked and quit a few years ago (see 10+ years ago), I started going to a B&M back in mid 09 after I got hurt and had nothing to do, around Oct/Nov 2013 I decided to start having them at home to enjoy in the back yard and garage, at first my wife Hated it (smell was her only issue though) someone gave me a mixed bag cigar gift for Christmas and there was a few Drew Estates Kuba's and Dirt's in it, before New years I lit one up out the side yard tinkering, and apparently my wife had the kitchen window open because the next thing I knew she was at the garage side door asking me what I was smoking, I thought OK here comes the (smell is getting in the house speech again) but no, she actually asked if she could try it, she Loved it and has been having a cigar every day with me now (but it has to be a flavored/infused cigar) she now has her own cooler and we enjoy 1-2 hours everyday together (have been 1-2 times something came up and one of us was gone all day) but it has been nice. Only trouble now is when ever I am looking at ordering something she gives me the stink eye if she notices there not "Her" cigars lol

    My wife has never said anything about my cigar, ummm, "hobby". It's never a money thing because in an average month she spends more on hair and nails and stuff I consider a waste of money than I would on cigars. We each keep what we consider within our budget for whatever we want, so whatever makes each of us happy works both ways. She has bought me cigars for Christmas, or Birthdays, but that's like me trying to buy her a pair of shoes... I would not get it right. And we have been married twenty-five years. We don't argue about this sort of thing.

    I've been trying to get my wife to try one, maybe I ought-a go get her an infused one to try. Besides the smell she's fine with my hobby. She does look at me crazy when I get four packages a week from ccom though. Now I just ship to my office lol.

    Woman I dated for a little while this past fall was pretty hypocritical about it. She didn't particularly like me smoking cigars and gave me some grief about it if I smelled like smoke at bed time. However, she thought it was perfectly okay to get baked with her friends, or have cigarettes when she was out with her friends and come over with those smells on her. But that was really the least of our conflicts. :)
