Your other questions seem pretty well covered but this one reminded me of a story.

My wife and I are both smokers and smoke in our basement. When I started getting serious about cigars a little over a year ago the wife told me to go ahead and give it a try in the basement. When the day came that I decided I was going to have a stick, I didn't tell anyone in the house I just lit one up. I hadn't been smoking that cigar for five minutes before the wife came downstairs to find out what the hell that nasty stink is.

The pipe on the other hand has never had a complaint other than when I was smoking Irish Flake and she was sitting about 5 feet from me. Even then, I still finished the bowl.
