Cigar etiquette

[Tomm783]

There was a thing on BBC recently about body dysmorphia i want to get my missus to watch it! Shes not extreme but does have traits!

And if this means I have more disposable income ... well ..

I think it?s a sign of the times unfortunately. The practice MLW works at does Botox and fillers as well as dentistry and she makes the most of mates rates. Came home yesterday and she?s moaning that her lips hurt and look like sausages. Thankfully the swelling is already subsiding and she?s looking normal again.

She doesn?t need it in any way shape or form, but they don?t listen... a bit like me and cigars then!

No, just fighting what she sees as the ravages of time ffs. She's 56 and looks 40 and I've had 34 years of people saying 'Is that your wife?!' because she looks so good. Anyway she works full-time and its her money so who am i to quibble?

Oh I don't know Simon. Cigars are my meditation therapy. Which I say helps everyone around me. Home and work!

Exactly, sometimes she will tell me to go and have a cigar if I appear to be stressed or grumpy grumpy_pickaxe.gif

Anything our lovely ladies spend on their appearance is of course for our benefit too, whereas our cigar habit is totally selfish, unless you are lucky enough to have one that appreciates the aroma of a fine cigar - unfortunately my wife isn't one of the them.

I'm lucky, I sleep with my hairdresser! Who I hasten to add is keeping quiet about cigars as she's just signed up for two grand's worth of facial treatments [ATTACH=CONFIG]32707[/ATTACH]

MLW, who I tell often is lovely and doesn't need all these expensive treatments, also does hair and some skin treatments that means I have to stop .. well slow down .. my cigar buying.

I don't dare sum everything she's spending on this however... [emoji848]

Indeed, agree with your thoughts entirely. I also shave my our hair these days & have done since my barber of 20yrs put his charges up to E19 to trim what little I have left & talk fishing. Now I go to the cafe with a smoke & talk fishing there instead. Wife's last hairdressing bill in Belgium was E170! Had a bargain in Porto on hols & she & our daughter shared a E65 bill.

Of course this doesn't match my spending but if you add their spending on shoes & handbags Oh, & a brand new Nissan Juke a few years ago (my old car is worthless than a E1K) then we more or less equal out.

Well I don't know about 'filthy rich' but Id be a lot richer without CAD! But happier? Ah well there's the rub...

argh - the dark thoughts of 'did I just spend that'! but I look at what my wife spends on hairdressing (and is mighty frugal) and pound for pound it still knocks CAD into a cocked hat! but then as a massive slap-head, I have shaved my melon for the last decade or more so haven't spent a bean on hair cuts either!

Happier - the rub indeed my friend!! BOTL's are able to find a moment and be lost in a simple pleasure - something increasingly difficult to achieve in this age.

I've never really come across anyone having one...but when I've had them out people are quite complementary about the smell and just ask loads of questions...however I do find a lot of people have the wrong idea about people whom smoke cigars.

They generally have the idea you gota be fillthy rich or someone who's well connected.

I've only had one guy comment as he was walking his dog past us in the park one afternoon as we were sat on a bench I was smoking an open master at the time. He just said that smells great as he walked past. I just replied glad you like it!

If they're non-smokers sitting at a table with an ashtray they can just get stuffed. We'd never light up if there wasn't one.
