My Wife thought to do something nice for my birthday and ordered me a gift pack of cigars from a discount vendor. You can probably guess the cigars I got, the 5 pack of Lone Wolf is the best of the bunch. Now the question is, How do I despose of these rockets without hurting the wife's feelings? Do I have to smoke them :( Send out a rocket bomb :0 Or maybe just take them out 1 or 2 at a time and toss them when at work?
Keep in mind that I'll probably get asked how they were, or which one I liked best. Maybe the "best" answer will get a "package in the mail" of the fine cigars :sign:

Put in the bottom of the 'dor and tell her your aging them. :)
 
I would recommend looking on CI's website, get a copy of the Taste Reviews for each cigar in the bunch (Actually I have heard that LWs are great) and then when she asked how the one you smoked that day from her gift tasted, you will have some good catch words. Then she won't get her feelings hurt and you can send the gars to me :D :sign:
 
i think your best bet here is honesty. it will probably hurt her feelings more if she finds out you trashed them. and you know women she will find out.
especially if you would not want to recieve anymore discount 5 packs.

then around gift occasions keep a favorites/want to try list stuck on the fridge.
that way it can still be a surprise for you and you will get something you can smoke.
my wife and i do this and it works great.

just my .02$

If it were me, I would also go the honest route. I would explain it to her and tell her that it's OK and let her go buy me something else. My wife has a very hard time finding good presents for me. Past presents include:

1) Sega Dreamcast that never got delivered (EBay scam) and we were out $200 and had just been married

2) Nintendo (original) that didn't work

3) Shirts that look like football jerseys (oops, that was her grandmother who makes that gravy that makes me yank)

You get the picture. Now I am such a bomb at Christmas, people give me freaking gift cards. So I am picky about my hobby, sue me!

End of rant, be honest, bro.
 
Agree with the rest...tell her before she buys you more. If she questions you or gets her feelings hurt ask her if next time you owe her a gift you can buy her her shoes. ;)
 
Don't say anything unless she asks. If she does ask about how you liked them...tell her you gave them a try...but would prefer to smoke your favorites. Then tell her what your favorites are. :D
 
I agree, Good Answer Beast. Tho my Jelly wouldn't buy me cigars anyway, but she DID buy me a Humi, so she ain't all bad :D
 
Got to say I like your solution best so far Beast. Always did find that not saying anything till asked worked best. :D

A rocket box is always welcome over no box at all, I always say :p
 
Here's what I'd do:

I'd smoke them even if they weren't good. Engage your wife in a conversation while smoking them; that way you accomplish two things - quality time with your best friend (aka wife) and she sees you smoking them. Now, if they're awful, after just a few "tokes" let the sticks sit there and go out. Don't finish them. After a couple, she'll see they're not that good. Guaranteed to come up in the converstion. Then you can explain your own "pickiness" and why you enjoy certain smokes like ....

Now she knows you've tried them, isn't too upset that you didn't like them because you've admitted to having selective tastes, and she'll know what to get next!
 
Beast, I like your answer best so..... Rockets are in the mail :0 Hope it finds you addressed to The Beast :p
