the first step is to admit i have a problem. little does my wife know i discovered internet cigar buying recently having only purchased from the local b&m. i have spent into the 4 figures in the last couple weeks. i think the daily packages are giving me away. i know i can't be the first person to fall off the wagon hard. i think i need a couple shoulders to lean on. haha jeep

Don't look at the bill... Buy a wineador, and buy her some jewelry0

explain to her what Bombs are... so now when packages show up, they are just "a bomb from one of the guys on the Cigar .com Forum" I've used that one before...0

It's all about the aging. I explained to my wife, when I was in a similar situation, that I had to stock my humis to get the aging process going. Honey they're giving such good deals it would be stupid not to stock up now and they have to age anyway. Seemed to work for me, didn't have to open the closet and peruse the vast amount of shoes, dresses etc. that she has accumulated. Save that for later.0

After the 75th time she caught the ruse...robbyras:explain to her what Bombs are... so now when packages show up, they are just "a bomb from one of the guys on the Cigar .com Forum" I've used that one before...0 -

Yeah. Be careful with that though. My wife has hidden some "bombs" from me. Knowing full well they were from Ccom.
On the other hand, she somehow knows when it's a bomb.
It's really bad when they know a lot of the guys' names on the forum.
When the package from Rip showed up, she came in with it and told me it was from Rip.
All she said was, "Oh no. I want to watch you open this thing. This is going to be worth watching." ROFL!In Fumo Pax

tell her the truth. It won't hurt your case to hand her something nice as well and mumble something about thinking of you and love you and yadda yadda. If she smiles, game on. If not, start kissing.0

My wife works from home so I'm the one who gets the mail. Plus she goes to bed early! A good thing....0

+1 to this, lying and trying to get over is NEVER the right answer IMHO.james40:tell her the truth. It won't hurt your case to hand her something nice as well and mumble something about thinking of you and love you and yadda yadda. If she smiles, game on. If not, start kissing.
Spent too much on cigars? Not necessarily a huge deal, he11, we've ALL done it at some point or another. I say "not necessarily" because everyone's situation is different, but as long as you havent put yourself or your family in a financial bind, I dont think its a big deal.
If you havent, and the wife flips her ****, explain to her that yeah, you know you got carried away but you just LOVE the cigar hobby so much its a little easy to get carried away sometimes. Try to equate it to something she really loves - clothes, tennis, golf, whatever. Then explain to her that "If you came across a deal for X that was 45% off, you'd have to jump on it wouldnt you?" In my experience, there's two things women grasp the concepts of - 1) really loving something (including you) and getting something at a steep discount sale price. LOL
The most important thing is the girl loves you, and if she loves you she wants to see you happy. If she understands how much you love something, she's much more likely to accept, support or tolerate it. Your relationship is much more important than cigars and consider this - if you BS her about something this ridiculous, how can you expect her to be straight with you? :-)

I don't know know how long you've been into cigars jeep........
but if it's less than a year, be careful about buying lots of stuff.......you might find yourself sitting on 200-300 cigars you really don't like a year from now............it's a fairly common noob "trap"...............the excitement of scoring good cigars for great prices.........kind of like a hot streak in black-jack............

i'm just new to the forums. long time cigar lover. i just used to buy only as much as i would smoke in a couple weeks. now i have enough for a couple years. hahaha0

Been there, done that. Even fell into the trap of buying cigars just because they were a good deal and not because I liked them. Lucky for me my wife enjoys the hobby as much as I do. I really enjoy sitting outside smoking a cigar with her and talking about our day.jeep edson:the first step is to admit i have a problem. little does my wife know i discovered internet cigar buying recently having only purchased from the local b&m. i have spent into the 4 figures in the last couple weeks. i think the daily packages are giving me away. i know i can't be the first person to fall off the wagon hard. i think i need a couple shoulders to lean on. haha jeep0 -
No, that's not true at all. Stop leaning on shoulders and stand tall. The first step is to teach your woman that what's done is done. Been there, done that. Like so:jeep edson:the first step is to admit i have a problem. little does my wife know i discovered internet cigar buying recently having only purchased from the local b&m. i have spent into the 4 figures in the last couple weeks. i think the daily packages are giving me away. i know i can't be the first person to fall off the wagon hard. i think i need a couple shoulders to lean on. haha jeep
Me: "Babe, I bought another motorcycle. I'm going to pick it up this weekend."
She: rant rave rant
Me: ""
She: rave rant rave
Me: ""
She (getting nowhere): "So where is this one? Where are you going this time? Don't expect me to drive you."
Me: "Chicago."
... and at this point I walk away. It's essential to have a man cave.
You can't teach a woman not to complain. But you can wear her out, if you try.“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

FIXED IT!! LOL!webmost:No, that's not true at all. Stop leaning on shoulders and stand tall. The first step is to teach your woman that what's done is done. Been there, done that. Like so:
Me: "Babe, I bought another motorcycle. I'm going to pick it up this weekend."
She: rant rave rant
Me: "Alright, I'll tell the guy I can't have it. *pout*"
She: "Oh my god, is it that great a deal?"
Me: "Oh yes Dear, it's a great deal"
She (getting nowhere): "So where is this one? Where are you going this time? Get your coat, I'll take you."
Me: "Chicago."
... and at this point I do the pee pee/snoopy dance.
