Minding One's Manners in a Cigar Bar

[blessednxs65]

Again, nothing earth shattering but, I found it to be an interesting read.

4-5 matches... or 10 seconds with a torch lighter:grin:

Hemmingway was not himself an avid smoker, his occasional Havana habit putting him low down the list of famous tobacco lovers and certainly behind American novelist Mark Twain, who was known to frequently hit 40 cigars a day.

I'm assuming this is a typo, even if he was smoking very small cigars. Otherwise all I can say is holy shit.

Or only finishing a 3rd like the guys at CA!

I considered that, but even if he was only smoking 1/3 of a cigar, let's say he is smoking toros, that is still 80 inches of cigar every day. AKA about the equivalent of 13* whole cigars a day.

*Using toros as an example, I'm also about half drunk, so this math may or may not make sense. :bottle:

One more reason for me to want to visit Lebanon...

I'm guessing the cigars Mark Twain was smoking where small cigars that looked rough more like a J Fuego Origen Original but prob even smaller and not like a premium toro size cigar. But just a guess.

Anyway it was a fun read.

Interesting read... not everyone abides by the 1 or 2 puffs per minute.

This one is always a challenge for me. I like to smoke a little on the fast side. Usually it's uneven burn and the threat of tunneling that slow me back down to the 1-2/minute range.

Awesome article. It definitely encompasses the "culture" that is cigars.

Great read.

Samuel Clemens was noted for typically smoking petite coronas, coronas and petite perfectos - all three were the most common sizes of the time.

Also he was noted for smoking cheap cigars, many of mexican in origin, which means most were less packed/underfilled which means they would tend to burn hotter and faster so 40 a day is feasible...
