The Instant Expert: to the aficionado, a cigar is never just a cigar

[El Presidente]

an interesting article. Not that you will agree with it all

The article likened us to wine snobs, but not snobs per se

[laficion]

Not too bad, It was indeed interesting.

I've read worse from a few journalists who write out full pages on subjects

they know nothing about, including cigars.

Simple, easy, and interesting.

It's nice to see a somewhat neutral article on the hobby. While many of us probably don't care what the outside world thinks of cigar smoking it is good to see an article not demonizing this one type of "smoking". Fearmongering is too easy a device for politicians to use. More clear minded or opposing views need to make it to the forefront.

Twain's works are already being put under the politically correct microscope. He'd be horrified at this hackery and by the negative press about one of his favourite pastimes.

Are the Taino not people? I always laugh at the colonial nonsense.
