My Opa used to smoke a pipe, and I recall his tobacco smelling nice and homey, just like that. It's not all stank in smokeland! Mmm, sure, La BellaDonna.

That smells just like really nice pipe tobacco. Maybe a cherry pipe tobacco? I don't smoke, myself, but I have a friend who sometimes smoked them, and it was actually a scent I looked forward to: slightly sweet, kind of homey. Very comforting. It would not, I think, be a bad choice for a smoker of either gender on a wedding day. It was a happy smell. And I have asthma, and a low tolerance for most smells and smokes.

Preferably a very long one a la Breakfast at Tiffanys. Linda: Is it horrible to say you were probably better off for it (unless you were planning on smoking one of those nice smelling vanilla or fruity cigars)? The smell of cigar smoke sticks to clothing like nothing else.

He smoked on our wedding day. I had fantasies that I would smoke a cigar while wearing my bridal clothing. But I never did. My hubby smokes. He smoked on our wedding day.

It might not be so bad if she was wearing a 1930's style, slinky glamour gown and had a fancy cigarette holder, working the whole Jean Harlow/Old Hollywood look. But with a princessy-style gown, it just doesn't look right at all.
