Wifie hates Ennerdale Flake

[alexnc]

So, I've been experimenting with Aros to try to be more considerate, to discover that my wife actually likes the room note of straight Virginia the most, more than the aros. And, even though she doesn't mind things like Billy Budd - hates Ennerdale enough to leave the room - and that was outside on a screened porch on a breezy day! I think the word was it smelled like 'air freshener'

Lighting up Ennerdale around any person let alone a finicky wife... What were you thinking, man?

One of the many reasons that I smoke Lakelands. ::

You know, in 38 years of marriage my better half has not once complained about tobacco smoke. Not once. God, I got a jewel! :D

A lucky man you are indeed! I'm yet to find a blend that doesn't bother the girlfriend's delicate nose, but she bares it because she at least thinks the pipe makes me look charming.

I'm an English smoker mostly, though I dabble in a bit of everything. English elicit the strongest reaction, which I guess shouldn't surprise me.

My wife dislikes the room note of everything, some more than others. I smoke outside so I finally started ignoring her for the most part, though if I know she will be outside with me I'll smoke one of the less disliked.

 

[buroak]

Bares it, does she, because she's charmed by your pipe? When did the topic change? :D

 

[hawky454]

Time to find a new one....
... a new blend of course.

Same here. Must be more common than I realized.

Ennerdale is one of my favorite smokes...It does keep the wife and mosquitos out of my hair.

My wife doesn't like MacBaren's Vanilla Cream. She says it's too strong and it makes her eyes water. Today I purchased some Ennerdale Flake and Bob's Chocolate Flake as my introduction to Lakeland blends. If the wife doesn't like MacBaren's Vanilla Cream I may get run out of the house with the two new Lakeland blends. I'll find out tomorrow when it arrives.

I would keep the Lakelands outside for sure then - it's all outside for me anyway. The only ones mine hates are Lakelands. (& St Bruno, Condor, Halberg Green.... I guess there's a few when I think about it)

 

[Chasing Embers]

Would definetly lead to some wild arguing and me lighting 5 pipes at the same time with the worst smelling tobaccos I could find - just to clearify my point! Guess I'm just an a-hole...

:worship:
:rofl:

What are you guys smoking that you get bad comments on the smell? I'm mainly smoking Va/Pers which she loves the smell of ("deliciously fruity"; "pleasantly smell of lemons and sugar/caramel") and (heavy) Kentucky Blends like Bold Kentucky, Old Dark Fired, which also doesn't seem to bother her.

I wasn't aware of the fact, that the smell of pipe tobacco is such a present problem for a lot of pipe smokers. Guess I'm just lucky, too!
Change the blend - or the wife!

Try smoking C&D Crooner, my neighbor jumped out of the window after I smoked it.
