Like what the world needs is yet another super-strong, high-priced cigar. Where oh where is there the perfect, inexpensive, mild-bodied cigar? (All posted with a smile, not a frown!)
This is good news to the “serious” cigar smoker. If you only have time for one cigar you might as well make it one that you get the biggest “hit”.
When was the first cigar tax imposed in the United States?
