we stogie heads may not be a terribly large group, but I'll bet you a box of vinatage Batista Trinis that we are overwhlemingly conservatives.

And a much smaller group now that the cigar fad of the late 90's is over. ......many of the fadists were liberals, of course.

I sure don't miss the poseurs do you?


when you couldn't find anything but shite to smoke and at 4-5 times normal prices.

if a box of AF Hemingway short stories or something tasty came in, they'd put limits on what you could buy.

I quit ciggies at 30 and picked up stogies at a hold-em game 5 years later...at that time...an Excalibur #1 was about a buck at the store...maybe a up to a buck seventy-five....then they went to about 8-12 bucks and now they are down to around 5 bucks retail and 3 mail order.

I used to marvel at how folks would leave 4-5 inches of a double corona of a fine cigar dead in an ashtray...hell, if I knew them or it was a babe, I'd pick it up and relight it....what a waste. I'm a nubbie on the good stuff.
