"The Christians met on the way many people who were going to their
towns, women and men, with a firebrand in the hand, and certain weeds
whose smoke they inhale which are dry weeds stuffed into a certain dry
leaf in the form of a muset made of paper, like the ones the children make
on the day of the Holy Ghost; and burning a part of it, from the other part
they suck or absorb or admit the smoke with breathing."
Christopher Columbus, from his Navigation diary

"Given the choice between a woman and a cigar, I will always choose
the cigar."
Groucho Marx

"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is
why I am in two-hundred-percent form."
Winston Churchill

"There is nothing more agreeable than having a place where one can
throw on the floor as many cigar butts as one pleases without the

ashtray where the ashes are going to fall."
Fidel Castro

"If your wife doesn't like the aroma of your cigar, change your wife."
Zino Davidoff

Of course, the most famous cigar quote comes from King Edward VII of
England. During the reign of Queen Victoria, smoking was frowned upon
and not allowed at court. That changed when Edward VII came to the
throne at the beginning of the 20th Century, and after dinner pronounced,
"Gentlemen, you may smoke."

A Turkish proverb states, "Allah made tobacco grow to put a smile on the
faces of men."

An unknown Englishman once said, "Blessed be the man who invented
smoking, the soother and comforter of a troubled spirit, allayer of angry
passions, a comfort under loss of breakfast, and to the roamer of desolate
places, the solitary wayfarer through life, serving for wife, children, and
friends."

Also, by an unknown author, it was said that, "A fine cigar is just like a
woman. If you don't light it up just right and suck on it with a certain
frequency, it will go out on you."

Comment made to my wife, "Honey, I am a perfectionist. I have smoked
thousands of cigars in my life. I will stop when I find the perfect one or
am too old to hold one, most likely the latter."
(Stefan Suratt, Seoul, Korea)

"Sie sollten das Haus niemals ohne eine Zigarre verlassen."
Bill Cosby, Amerikanischer Schauspieler

"In ancient times, when the land was barren and people were starving,
the Great Spirit sent forth a woman to save humanity. As she traveled
over world, everywhere her right hand touched the soil, there grew
potatoes. Everywhere her left hand touched the soil, there grew corn.
And when the world was rich and fertile, she sat down and rested.
When she arose, there grew tobacco..."
-Amerindian myth-
