Cabbage Rolls

To his great consternation, Thomas Edison often found visitors in his office helping themselves to his Havana cigars. As he could not be bothered locking them up, his secretary suggested that he have a friend in the cigar trade make some cigars out of cabbage leaves; these could then be substituted for the genuine Havanas. Edison agreed but forgot about the arrangement and remembered only after returning from a trip some time later. He called his secretary and asked why the bogus cigars had not arrived. The secretary replied that they had arrived and had been passed along to his manager. Edison then called the manager, who explained that, not knowing what they were, he had packed them in Edison's bag before his trip. "And do you know," Edison later recalled, "I smoked every one of those damned cigars myself!"

ROTFLMAO.. Just goes to show you if they taste good who cares what they are called or what they cost...Unless Cigar Smoken is just a Status thing with you..TinMan

Cuban Missile Crisis?

One day in 1961, shortly after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, JFK called his cigar-smoking press secretary Pierre Salinger into the Oval Office.
"I need a lot of cigars," he declared. "How many, Mr. President?" Salinger asked. "About a thousand," Kennedy replied. "Tomorrow morning, call all your friends who have cigars and just get as many as you can." Salinger dutifully raced out to find as many H. Upmann petits as he could find.

The following morning he received an urgent message requesting his immediate presence in the Oval Office. "How did you do on the cigars last night?" Kennedy asked. "Mr. President, I was very successful," Salinger replied. "I got eleven hundred."

Hearing this, Kennedy opened a drawer in his desk and produced a decree banning all Cuban products from entry into the United States. "Good," he declared. "Now... I can sign this!"
