Cigars and Columbus

In the United States, Columbus Day will be observed on Monday, October 9, 2006. Not only did Christopher Columbus discover America, he also discovered cigars. On a day of such importance, it is only fitting that all cigar smoking Americans light up a stogie, as a tribute to the man who made the hobby and pastime of smoking cigars possible. We salute you, Chris, and this butt's for you!
