Why do cigars come 25 to a box? A lot of times the manufacturer will use a solid block of cedar to balance the box. Why not just ship 26 cegars and adjust the price? Or why not ship 26 and charge for 25?

Don't know the official reason, but I've heard that once upon a time the cigars were packed in rows of 8-9-8, much like some are today. (Also, thats the name of a brand which I've never tried). Anyhow, smokes being what they are, tradition stuck. It's like donuts. Why a dozen? and beer. Why 24? besides, I've received some brands where the block of wood smoked better than the cigars!

...and why not make rubber roads and asphalt tires? Where would the madness end! We could go on forever asking these questions. Instead....we choose to smoke, be it 5, 10, 20, 25, or 50....we just smoke. IMHO of couse ;]

I see we are dealing with an educated man. I think I hate him, no I'm sure I hate him! If you know which movie this comes from claim your prize. Only two to give out but they are quality!
