WAF-wife acceptance factor

[motorjon68]

I know historically, non smokers love aros. I don’t hate them but I prefer Scottish Blend, 965 etc. Since I’m fairly new to all of this, I’d appreciate a few suggestions. My goal is to be able to smoke in the house. I was ‘crop dusting’ through the house last week. I’d probably smoke in our front room that has our fireplace. Thanks for any advice. Jon

Most of the Sutliff blends have a decent room note. Stick to aros in the house and english blends outside.

Mellow Straight VA, Burley, or Oriental, and Codgers should be ok.
I think it's the Latakia and Perique that non smokers really don't appreciate but I might just have a chill wife she actually likes the latest Mac Barren iteration of 3 nuns and says I can smoke that in the house anytime.

My wife doesn’t mind the VaPers. If she starts to demand I smoke Latakia we are going to have speaks. I can’t stand the stuff

American codger blends, every one, were intentionally blended to help a man out with the ladies.

As others have said, Sutliff has a variety of aromatics that have a pleasing room note. You can go out to Tobacco Reviews .com and look up different blends as they have a rating for room note on the different tobaccos. This will give you an idea of what might work for you and the wife. Good luck finding something that will pass the wife test.

Some blends that are generally received well by non-smokers are Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic, Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening, Lane 1Q, and Cult Blood Red Moon. They are all quality aromatics that also taste good to the smoker, easy to get ahold of, and won't break the bank

I agree.

I am blessed with a wife that likes the smell of a pipe in the house. She claims they all smell the same to her. I am going to throw some Pirate Kake in to test her soon. Also the smell does not hold in the house. That was her biggest concern. It is gone by morning.

My wife can tolerate VaPers but English's are a strict "no dice" from her. She would probably like aros but I don't smoke those.

I've been smoking some Ken Byron Ventures aros lately and my wife likes the room note a lot. I generally don't smoke in the house but occasionally in the basement without asking permission. I recommend Deep House and Diogenes Club. They're not overly limp-wristed if you know what I mean.
