JohnS Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 This was my thought but there is a very strong need to watch where you ash. Yes, especially if you are in your favourite reclining chair! I'm lucky, my wife grew up with her dad smoking cigars all day everyday. So granted she's not huge on giving me a hug the moment I finish a cigar lol she is pretty tolerant. But like said above, I will occasionally get that, "you remind me of my dad" hahaha Seth My wife is fairly tolerant too...I do very much admire her for that!
meatball41 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 like the proverbial lead balloon. Smoking in a cigar room really fries a good suit. Smoking on a balcony has almost no lasting effect at all. Throw a smoking jacket over your rig and you get surprisingly good protection (even in an enclosed space) that will keep your suit out of the dry cleaners. Febreeze is of no help. There's another scent remover that works better, but I've forgotten the name at the moment. Will check it out when I get home. I have a hoody sweatshirt smoking jacket that works great for an outdoor smoke.
leftimatic Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 My darling wife puts up with dirt, welding and grinding metal, smoky burnt metal smells. (The only smoking jacket I have is the one that grease and oil catches alight when I get it to close to the torches). Concrete in every pair of jeans I wear. The odor that comes with the form oil that keeps the concrete from sticking to the plywood that holds it in place while it dries. Most of the time that's just straight diesel fuel not pretty. Oh yah there's the pressure treating stuff and sawdust in general. Creosote on occasion. Plus the fact I live on a farm that raises chickens and pigs and grows most of its own food from the manure that comes from the animals. And we burn wood all winter for heat. I think she may very well welcome the sent of old cigars. I never heard her complain. Some ladies appreciate us rough and tumble types. I do have a couple nice suits and dress jackets and the like that I am sure she would have a fit if I smoke or work in or around. 1
Lasabar Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Never has really come up. During winter I smoke inside but only if she is long gone to bed or is out with her friends and then I'm in bed before her. The next day I don't like the old smell so it's off to the washing machine they go. She never has really complained.
RijkdeGooier Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 My smoking outfit (whatever I wear at the time) invariably goes outside to air out the minute I step through the door. A quick shower and a change and I'm as good as new for the wife...
alloy Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I usually put the clothes into the washer and take a shower. Wife says "good as new!".
TheLiquidGator Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 One day she mentioned my coming home with stinky cigar clothes. My clothes get saturated when i spend a few hours smoking at the local cigar shop. One day, during the Summer, I had an idea. Our garage is in the back of the house. So I pulled into the garage, closed the door, and stripped naked. I walked into the kitchen where she was cooking dinner. I barked out, "hi honey am home and I do not stink." Walked over to the bar and fixed myself a drink. Never had an issue since. 2
emr Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Spray on some cheap vanilla scent cologne; then you got yourself a $300 Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfume
JohnS Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I usually put the clothes into the washer and take a shower. Wife says "good as new!". I just got reminded, first thing in the morning, that I needed to put mine in the wash...aah, it's so good!

vatche03 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Enjoy a great smoke indoors or outdoors Leave the clothes outside to air out for at least a couple hours. Shower, wash face, brush teeth, mouth wash Throw the clothes into a bag and tie up for laundry day Repeat!

PapaDisco Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 smoke naked? Please promise this isn't going to be on the next video review! 1
Carpenter69 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 With a new baby coming in July I'm gonna be back to vatche03's routine. My wife is a drill sergeant when it comes to smoke around babies. My grandfather channelled camel filterless with the windows rolled up in his Ford Ltd. Nobody ever came to our rescue as kids. Lol
Kyoung Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Nice smoking jacket and a quick shower does the trick for me. That being said, the girlfriend generally enjoys the smell on my clothes so lucky me!
FLB03TT Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 It's the other way around with me. She loves the smell of a cigar but she smokes ciggies and I hate the smell on her. Recently she started rolling her own so I got some nice aromatic pipe tobacco to mix in a little with the regular stuff. It adds a nice aroma without affecting taste too much and it makes it much more tolerable for me. Lately she's been taking puffs off my cigar and really likes it. She hasn't smoked one on her own yet though. And: My youngest daughter will smoke a cigar with me on occasion when she comes to visit. I guess I'm really blessed too! -Dan I think Ken suggested that your wife should smoke naked... 1
nick2021 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Put my clothes in the washer when I return home or after a herf, easier that way and wife doesn't complain
leftimatic Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I traded mine for my cigar habit. true story! A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.
CigarDarr111 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 I traded mine for my cigar habit. true story! Everyone has a passion in life.. some are willing to sacrifice more than others for their passion.
Borgy Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I have a passion for both I dare not get rid of one or the other its like having one leg either side of a barbed wire fence go to far either way its gunna hurt.
dougincanada Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Take up pig farming. That way cigar smell is an improvement. Regards, Doug 1
PapaDisco Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Zero Odor is the other spray I use. It's not perfect but it does work quite a bit better than Febreeze. https://www.zeroodor.com you can smell quite a bit of chlorine in it, but it's never adversely affected my clothes (e.g., it hasn't bleached my navy blue suits white )
Fosgate Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I guess I must have not been real clear. I traded her for cigars. We split up (second best day of my life) and I started smoking cigars with a few friends frequently while going through the split as stress relief. The relationship 10 times better. Cigar doesn't get pissy and say things like "fine" or "whatever" or get on your case for not fixing the squeak in the door hinge for a year. The sex is comparably equal since I wasn't having any anyway (at least not with her). But ironically both require me to take shower after getting them all hot and worked up. When that happens I have to say the cigar takes the prize hands down. I would say some cigars are worse than others. macanudo maduro 1997 limiteds are just absolutely rank for days so much so that a local bar owner said I could smoke anything but those in his smokers area cause it was really bad the next day. To get the smell out of coats I just hang them on a coat hanger in the garage or on the deck. Clothes go straight from there to the wash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
CaptainQuintero Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Lucky it's never been an issue at all, it's just a part of who I am.
