No, there is not a joke included here.

Just returned from a Pennsylvania (business trip) yesterday. Was in the Harrisburg, Allentown, Lehigh Valley areas. Noted many Amish and Menonite folk wandering around (this is what they do, right?) Anyway, was curious as to whether these groups partake in a nice cigar now and again. I wasn't really sure if this "hobby" would fit into their religious doctrine or not. Didn't want to ask anybody (for fear of the long, strange stares I might get). Anybody here know? I mean, our ancestors were smoking sticks in colonial times, correct? It seems that unless it were considered taboo in their religion, an Amish or Menonite (the latter more readily accept our changing world) might sneak a smoke every now and then. But, then again, what the hell do I know?

On another note, I noticed quite a few cigar stores located per capita in this area. Is PA (or this area, in general) a herfin paradise? Maybe a PA poster can better clarify this.

Finally, I'm giving html a whirl on this post for the first time. Therefore, have mercy on me if there are several strange characters or inconceivable line break protocols broken here.

I grew up in PA and most of my family still lives there. My brother lives about 35 miles north of Harrisburg in the middle of an Amish community. Some of them grow tobacco and I've seen it hanging in their barns to dry. I've never seen any of them smoke it. I have no idea what they do with it. Maybe they grow it sell or they just don't smoke in public.
