[PW] ? Groucho "Cigar" Quote (Quotation Query #638)

[Fred Shapiro]

I am writing an article about cigar-related quotations and am looking into the 
famous supposed Groucho radio or TV line, in response to the woman who had 22 
children because she loved her husband: "I love my cigar too, but I take it out 
of my mouth once in a while."  I would welcome suggestions of any books, 
articles, web sites or other sources that discuss the authenticity of this 
quote.
