what to do when your wife buys cigars

[jmorgan]

So I just found out that my wife got me a present for christmas, she bought me a gurhka sampler. I tell her every year that if she wants to get me something I will tell her 3 things I want and she can choose one and every year she wastes money on something I dont want. Hell for 50 bucks I could have got 2 packs of baitfish and saved 10 bucks.
So what do you guys do when someone gives you something you will never use? And more importantly how do I stop her from getting shit I wont smoke or use?

Shit...you should be happy that she's buying cigars period! My wife mentioned yesterday that I shouldn't buy any cigars for the whole of 2014! :thumbdown::what:

Agreed---my wife doesn't like the fact that I smoke cigars but she knows its a hobby I enjoy and will support me in it. She normally hooks me up with a few smokes or a gift certificate to my local B&M each year for Christmas. Go enjoy em!

Dave is right.

This year I gave my wife the cell phone number to the owner of my favorite shop. I said "give him a budget and tell him your my wife. He knows what I like".

I ended up with twelve good sticks and possibly the best cutter I've ever had in my stocking.

What would you want her to do if you bought her something she didn't like?

Mine tells me if I buy her something she doesn't like, and then returns it. Seems to work for us as we don't keep something just to make the purchaser happy...we're not that politically correct.

Time for a new wife? But that'll be more expensive than the $50

Looool my better half doesn't have to buy cigars, she steals them from my collection! Really though, she has a 150 count humidor packed with nothing but the finest of sticks yet she still buys sticks a lot.

She did well on the haul. I might have to get me one of those stickers

I've gotten cigars as gifts seveeral times and 100% of the time they are smokes I would never buy myself.

The gift was made with the best of intentions so I take them and smoke them with a smile.

My local B&M puts out a color Christmas catalog in early November. I circle a few things and if she gets one I'm happy. This year she knocked it out of the park. I got two Rocky Patel samplers and a Brick House sampler with ashtray. For my Birthday she bought me a Xikar and gift certificates to my B&M. She is supportive of my hobbies.
