I don't have anything against Bill or Gurkahs. I would never pay that much for a cigar but would smoke one it it was given to me. I would be polite and smoke it even if I didn't like it.
Some Gurkhas I've smoked tasted like dusty air to me, some different ones were all right.
Bill's retired, as long as he stays that way he doesn't bother me a bit. I read somewhere he likes his cigars box-pressed anyway.
That made me truly laugh out loud.

Eric let me "enjoy" (and I use the word enjoy very loosely) this stick with him and a few others at Dom's a few years back. I remember comparing this to rolled-up, wet newspaper with a hint of dirt flavored pepper.

One thing I did like about President Clinton was his love of cigars, his choice on women not so much. But I think Gurkha is name dropping here as I am almost positive the President smoked Cubans. Gurkha needs help avoiding CI close out prices so hopefully borrowing the Presidents fame helps him out.

Doesn't matter what would accompany the cigar. I'm not smoking a Gurkha.

If you see me smoking a Gurkha, I've been kidnapped, and am trying to signal you. I'm counting on you, friends.

There's a story Kinky Friedman tells about this. That Texas Jewboy loves his cigars, and dotes on CCs. At one function, he reportedly handed a CC to Clinton. Bubba looked at it and it and remarked "Kinky, this is a Cuban cigar! I'm the President! I can't smoke this!" Kinky retorted with "Mr. President, don't look at it as supporting the Cuban economy . . . look at it like burning their crops."

Wish I could try one. Probably the best cigars ever!
I guess this is what 'flat broke' means in the Clinton household.

Yeah, but at least this time, he didn't inhale.

Default Re: $1000 cigars for Bill

Can I laugh at how idiotic it is to pay a $1,000 for cigar and actually think it's better than other cigars or am I suppose to take that serious? As for Clinton, he put his cigar up a woman's vagina, how freaking disrespectful to the cigar? The whole situation wreaks of stupidity unless you're like J-Z who probably lights his cigars with $100 dollar bills.
