I had just lit a Padron Anni, and my wife comes out and sits next to me. She usually just gives me a sarcastic smirk and goes about her business. I start to explain to her about the cigar I am smoking, and how much I've been looking forward to it. She asks to taste it, so of course I oblige. She likes it. She asks me if I have any flavored cigars that she can smoke. I just so happen to have a couple of flavored smokes that were given to me, and I have been saving for just this ocassion. So I run inside and fetch a vanilla flavored Oliveros. I light it up for her, and explain the whole process, and she listens like she cares. I am floored and sitting back smoking a cigar with my wife for the first time. It was a blast.

Very cool. I'm still trying to get my S.O. past the "sarcastic smirk as she goes about her business" part :-)

I'll never get mine past the "disgusted frown as she goes about her business".
That's quite an accomplishment there, Dustin.

That is pretty cool. Congrats on the break through.

Well.......almost no one will judge you !! :-)

Just a little jokie joke there brother!! Congrats! That's a definite plus!! :-)
[Reply]

That is cool, Dustin. :-)

Been trying to get mine to try it, but to no avail so far.
I may have to drag her into it like I did with the golf, kicking and screaming, until she finds out she enjoys it. Until then, more for me. :-)

Greg G, you were looking for someone to bomb with flavored Swissers weren't you? Guess you found your target, and the good news is, he lives in California :-)

I would be making progress after 28 years of involuntary servitude (marriage) if I could get the warden past 'That thing stinks' as she goes about her business. At least she doesn't complain about me buying them or the humidors or coolers. Sounds like you had fun Dustin.:-)
[Reply]

:-)Pretty much what he said, except change the 28 to 12.

Good deal Dustin.:-)
[Reply]

That's just awesome! Would never happen in a million years on my end!

Me jealous.... you bet I am! :-)
[Reply]

Bet it made the Padron even better :-)

PM me your addy, I will send you a few others for her to smoke.

awesome Dustin... im still working on the Mrs... she used to smoke, so cant figure out the "dont inhale" part of cigar smoking. that really suprises me, cause shes a very bright woman :-)
[Reply]

Dustin there are only 2 things that I have to say. 1 IS CONGRATULATIONS your cigar budget just went up,2 your humis are now going to be raided daily, Sailkat started the same way and she has more expensive Taste than I do:-):-)

On a serious note it is Great to have Kath have a smoke with me and she's a good traveling partner to go to Herfs with:-)
[Reply]

:-) Hope the two of you enjoy the stroll down the slope!!

I believe a Patron Anni was the first cigar I asked Chris for a taste of too. It is still one of my favs.

I really enjoy sharing a cigar with him! We often go for a walk and share a cigar. He still cuts and lights my cigar for me......makes me feel spoiled!

Enjoy! :-) :-)
