How can I

I would first ask why you can only smoke one cigar a week to begin with, and then recommend the same way I used to hide cigarettes from my parents...Use excuses to go out for a bit. Volunteer to run pick up something from the store you ordinarily wouldn't offer to do, and have some good luck.:tu
 
I'd love to give you some great plan on how to lie to your wife, but if I were married I would not lie/hide anything from my wife. That's a one way ticket to screwing up something with the person you love.

:tpd: smart man. Just explain to her the fact that you really enjoy them and the relaxation it provides. Maybe she'll come around eventually.
 
Darrell and CeeGar are 100% correct, brother. I have been married for 24 years (we've been together for 30) and I can tell you that in a marriage, honesty is truly the best policy!

You wouldn't want her lying to you, would you?
 
I wouldn't suggest lying or hiding it. You only do that if you are afraid or dishonest. If you made a deal or gave your word keep it. Sometimes it's just better to say what you are doing and do it.

However, ease yourself and your wife into it. Maybe it a trip to the B&M or an afternoon with your friends. That is kinda what happened with me.

If you can, get her involved. Use the time you are smoking to hang out with her. That really helped with me and my wife. We would sit outside for an hour together. No kids. Just chatting and smoking. Of couse now that it is turning colder, I've moved the basement. My company, if not my wife, is the CS chat room.
 
I don't think you can get away with it without telling her. Cigar smoke lingers. Why even try? As other brothers said, ease her into it. Show her how much it means to you. If you can get her enjoying the time with you while you're smoking a cigar, she may give you more time to enjoy more cigars on your own.

Sounds like there is a stigma with her and cigars. Get her past that.
 
Trying to lie to your wife is something I wouldn’t recommend, if anything she would get even more upset at the fact that you lied rather than smoked a couple more sticks.:2 In any event tread lightly and carry a big stick :ss
good luck
 
Personally when confronted with a simular situation I told her cigars are like shoes for men -

This helped her understand why I was always buying them, searching for the perfect one, needed more then one a week, and was always asking myself does this cigar go with that ....

If you can try to speak her language it will help. If that doesn't work just start smokng the biggest cigars you can find.
 
Like NIKE says...Just Do It!

If nothing else this will open dialogue where you can explain to her your side of this. I had quit smoking cigarettes about 3 years ago so when I started getting into cigars she was not pleased (that is putting it mildly). It has been three or four months now and she has finally seen that Cigars and Cigarettes are COMPLETELY different and now she does not mind at all. Hell if it is nice enough outside she will even go with me when I go out to smoke one.

Either way life is too short to NOT enjoy it.:2
