I think if you are a single being placed with a threesome it would be common courtesy to ask if any one would be offended or allergic to cigar smoke.
Most smokers I know are VERY considerate of others and would have extinguished the cigar immediately, IF you would have told them you [or your wife] are allergic.

Did you inform this person of your allergy or just vent on TOTV ????

By the way...it is not bad manners to smoke on the golf course; cigars or otherwise. Leaving butts all over the place is not OK though.
