Do you think you know a lot about Cigars? - Page 3

TheRiddick · 02-08-2010, 01:41 PM

We seem to be talking apples and oranges :-(

I am not against historical trivia, been reading all sorts of cigar history for years (decades, actually) now. Still, what does knowing that Churchill came up with a "paper holder" without MORE info on it do for anyone's cigar enjoyment, especially since no one has used the method since. And if I hand you a cigar, will you be able to tell me what rolling method has been used (save for the obvious figurado and machine made cigars)? That's my point, the quiz didn't do much in terms of educating anyone on much. If this is how the author of the quiz is "educating" people, then I can tell she is not making much progress. IMHO, of course, and you mileage will vary.

Possibly one of the most entertaining threads I've been through in a while, and unintentionally so! Bravo.

I don't know anything about wine or cigars.
I do know a lot about my butt itching however.
At least I fit in this thread somewhere.
