Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...

[lenguamor]

A cigar line or a brand with a stupid ****ing name will definitely put me off. I might try it at some point if it crosses my path, but I won't seek it out.

And the simple fact is that a lot of those lines with awful names aren't marketed for me; they're aimed squarely at someone else. The whole JdN "strong as balls" thing is one example.

I am secure in myself as a cigar smoker of almost 40 years; I don't need a nudge from the Marlboro man of the new millennium...I know what I like, and I don't really care what anyone else thinks of it either.
