Is Africa a Continent or a Cigar?

Monday December 8, 2008
It's a sad state of affairs when a prominent politician is accused of not knowing that Africa is a continent and not a country. But if I was asked that question, I'd probably say that Africa is a Don Lino cigar distributed by Nestor Miranda of Miami Cigar and Company. The Africa Duma is a robusto-size cigar having some African filler tobacco in the blend. To find out which other countries (or continents) the rest of the tobaccos used to make Africa cigars come from, read my review of the Don Lino Africa Duma cigar.

Funny you should review the Africa Duma. Is Duma the African word for Cheetah, or is it an abbreviation for another word that ends with two s’s that might be applied to someone who thinks that Africa is a country?

The accused politician would probably stand up for your cigar smoking rights unlike the accusers themselves.

It may have been a false report, but the fact that it was easily believed shows how ignorant she is on SO many other things! Like Bill Maher says, the Republicans have the revival of the “Know-Nothing Party” in the last 12 years!

What does this have to do with cigars? I can’t join the Cigar Rights of America group (and I would like to) because Rush Limbaugh is a member and featured on their site.

OK, I just checked the Cigar Rights site, and I don’t see Rush anymore! Now I can join!
