Did you know,
One of the greatest cigar smokers in American history in pure volume, has to be
Mark Twain. He smoked about 40 cigars a day. He used to buy them by the
barrelful, and they were perfectly awful smelling things that no one liked but him.
Many times people try to convince him to smoke better cigars, but he wouldn't do
it. He was once quoted as saying "If I cannot smoke in heaven, I shall not go."
In recent memory is George Burns. He smoked about 14 or 15 cigars a day. He
smoked, cheap cigars, that were given the him for free by the tobacco
manufacturer. He liked them because they stayed lit on stage. One time the Milton
Berle offered him a handmade Cuban cigar. Mr. Burns asked how much it cost.
When Berle responded "$10," George Burns responded, "If I paid that much for a
cigar, I'd have to sleep with it first."
