And your spouse wants to know how much it cost, do you?

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

Your poll is missing this option: She does not ask.0patience said:And your spouse wants to know how much it cost, do you?“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)

Also, the poll assumes the wife exists; doesn't account for those lucky lonely bastids with no wife. You remember Peter Pumpkin Eater, right?webmost said:

Typical scenario.
"What's that package?"
What package?
"The one in your hand!"
Oh! That package. It's an outgoing package.
"Then why does it have YOUR name on it?"
Wow, I must have put the wrong label on it. I better go correct that.
"You know this will cost you, right?"
Yep, pretty sure it will.
"Let me see it."
See what?
"What you bought."
I didn't buy anything.
"So Cigar.com is giving away stuff?"
Uhmm..... Yeah! That's it. I won it!
"Let me see it then."
Fine.
"They are giving away Opus X?"
Yeah........I'll go with that.
"Then I guess the shoe store is giving away shoes."
Ok.

I always discuss purchases prior to making. Sorry, can't help you.1

It's easier to get forgiveness then it is to get permission......although she likes when I get deals on Ccom:)
Long days and pleasant nights,

Just tell the truth. Besides.... the UPS & FedX guy knows my wife by name. Comes here all the time(not so much here lately though). So, when my little package shows up she just opens it up and puts it on my Humidor. Never says a word. But, maybe in the next few days she might.. expecting a package soon. lolDanny B0

If I tell her, "it's a great deal" and it really is, we talk about it beforehand and I have lots of success. This is a limited use, and sometimes I get screwed when I see a better deal the next day.
Sometimes I buy stuff if I pass a B&M and know we've got the $. But online, we talk about it. She's usually stoked if I manage to get free shipping, and might ask for some of her flavored cigars, then, too. She doesn't smoke often, but we keep a few on hand for her to join me sometimes.Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.2 -

I give my wife alot of crap about money, because I make 3 times the amount she does, but if it weren't for her diligence at keeping me in line, I wouldn't have any spending money.
More often than not, when we go to the B&M, she grabs cigars that she wants me to smoke.
And most often, there is a moontrance in there, which I don't mind smoking, because she loves the smell of it.
Most the time, I talk to her about what I want to buy and how much it is. Usually, she just gets me a prepaid Visa and tells me to figure out what I want, cause that is it.
It works great. I get a budget I can spend any way I want and not get in trouble, cause I can't go over the limit with prepaid cards.
Sometimes, she gets emails and knows about deals before I do. Like the AKA closeout. She tells me, "That's a great deal, you should probably get a box."

I try to keep things in the budget. Of course, all my cigars cost about $2-$3. It's only the ones I am given that cost more!

...and of course your wife pretends to believe that, right?

This is me, there is total transparency in my house between Amanda and I. No secrets and no lies, works for us and we celebrate 5 years in Septmeber. I make the money and she spends it, isn't that how it is supposed to workDark_Roast said:I always discuss purchases prior to making. Sorry, can't help you.

The wife? Her favorite and typically the only one we keep on hand is the CAO Moontrance. She'll smoke others, but tends to enjoy nothing larger than a corona and that only occasionally. We tend to buy tins of cigarillos or petite coronas for her. Anything larger isn't likely to get finished. She doesn't care for cherry, and a lot of the honey ones are too sweet, she says. Some vanilla ones are okay. She's enjoyed several from Tatiana, but most of those have had some construction issues which turned her off.Wylaff said:What flavors does she enjoy?Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

My wife smoked Moontrance for awhile. One day she was half way through and said "This is bad tobacco, give me something better." She grabbed a Mx2 and never looked back.Martel said:
