| 2. Other Cigar Sayings
| 
| I would be interested in suggestions of other quotations,
| sayings or phrases related to cigars.  I know, of course, about
| the Freud quote, the Groucho Marx line about taking his cigar
| out of his mouth once in a while, the Kipling quote, the Mark
| Twain quote about smoking only one cigar at a time, and the
| quote, supposedly originated by Thomas Marshall, about a good 5
| cent cigar.
