No, the one you found is wonderful! I didn't even find that one, and I searched under every combination of "Clinton, Cigar, Smoke, Smoking, and Golf" that I could think of. You are the very best.

Who was the last president who drank a fifth of scotch every day?

I'm pretty sure Bubba knew how to put it away. I'm pretty sure he was lit up like a christmas tree when he fell down the stairs at the Reverend Shakedown's house and had to get his knee scoped.

But as far as draining a fifth of scotch a day, I'm under the impression that Nixon was really hitting it hard toward the end and he would be my guess.

My Mother accused W of drinking again after he won the election and then showed up with the bandage on his face.

[SoDak]

He ate.

[MoralSense]

Correct answer is Ford, pipe. I have also heard that Laura Bush smokes, and is rather blase about it. If BJ ever lit up, there'd be Hellary to pay.

[johnb838]

You skipped Wm Howard Taft.

[Redleg Duke]

Slick...cigars...soaked cigars.

LBJ smoked cigarettes.

I believe Blubba was three sheets to the wind (six shots of schnapps, or some such thing) at Greg Norman's house when he fell off a wall and hurt his knee. The other version of the story was that he made a pass at Greg's wife, and the Shark decked him. LOL

It's not long you make it, it how you make it long.

Twenty-one great tobaccos make twenty wonderful smokes.

Have a puff, it's springtime.

Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.

LSMFT: Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.

I found these links on Mrs Bush and smoking:

That's all I could find.. I would guess that maybe she quit a while ago but still relapses from time to time.

[johnb838]

I guess Grover Cleveland

[johnb838]

LBJ was really ticked off about having to give up smoking after his heart attack. However, he did keep a pack on his night table, unopened.

And he died anyway, now didn't he?

thanks, see post 66.

[mountaineer]

Everybody's doing it!


Oops, how did "Da Reb" Jackson and Fidel get in there?

[johnb838]

I'd walk a mile for a camel... gawd those ads were well known.

[johnb838]

I thought it was Jacksons... but you're right! Thanks for setting me (and the record) straight.

[johnb838]

Jackshmmm looks like he's burning a blunt.

[jayef]

Quit bogartin' that Chief Sumsuch.

[AFreeBird]

I swear I've seen old film footage of Teddy Roosevelt smoking, I think a cigar. May not have been a "habit" per se, but I could swear I've seen pic's of him puffing away.

[jayef]

He sure does. Look how he's pinching that thing.

[RLJVet]

My guess is Ike.
