The good is that she only smoked a few years in her life and seems to have no addictive desire towards cigars like she does cigarettes. So, I somehow get away with the complete hypocracy of telling her she can't smoke cigarettes; but, I can still smoke an occassional cigar. I think if it was a daily or habit or even a few times a week she would think differntly; but right now she is fully supportive of my humidor and occassional cigar. I personally can't stand the smell of cigar smoke on clothes so I make it a habit to changing my clothes when I'm done, but if my wife told me I can't come inside to get a cup of coffee or whatever while burning a stick I think I would laugh and ignor (along the lines of her telling me to take my shoes off when I go inside, I'd have to take them off a hundred times on a brew day, that isn't happening...so I bought a carpet cleaner for her .

I keep hearing suggestions to try some Fuentes, especially the Don Carlos line. I think next time I got stick shopping I"ll try and pickup a some of those, even though I normally prefer a maduro.

Fuentes are nice, particularly with a little age on them. For me, their Hemingway line...particularly the Short Story...is my fall back stick

I agree Fuentes are pretty nice. I have a Couple anejo reservas resting at the bottom of the humidor right now.

Ive yet to try the Hemingway. But I really want to find the Hemingway Work of Art Maduro, theyre supposed to be amazing. I do have about 7 Opus(6 FF and 1 robusto) and 8 Anejo(1 shark, 2 #46, and 5 #60) resting in my humidor. I also have 7 2006 God of Fire Carlito and 7 2010 God of Fire Serie B. The Anejo shark and Gof Serie B are my favorites of the bunch. Though I'm still waiting to see how I like an Opus with a few years age on them so that may be my new favorite.
