Some interesting facts!
  • General Ulysses S. Grant smoked 20 to 25 cigars a day and received gifts totally about 30,000 cigars after the successful battle at appomatox.

  • Woodrow Wilson's vice president, Thomas C. Marshall coined the phrase "What this country needs is a good five cent cigar."

  • Winston Churchill started out as a cigarette smoker. Later in life, he began smoking cigars until he became ill and the doctors told him to quit. They finally agreed to one cigar a day. Since Churchill could only smoke one a day, he had very large cigars made that could last him the whole day. (I think you can guess the name of that new size cigar.)
