This section of the website is intended for
the historical
and informational purposes of thinking adults. Anyone who
has been raised since the turn of the 20th century already knows that tobacco can be addictive and
lead to various forms of cancer. If
you do not smoke, it would seem illogical to start. We, in no way,
encourage people to use any form of tobacco product.
In his 1954 work entitled, "The Gentle
Art of Smoking", Alfred H. Dunhill was nostalgic for a past when
smoking was an "art" and enjoyed as a pleasurable pastime in
elegant smoking rooms. He remarked
that the "furious tempo of modern life" had resulted in tobacco, in the
form of ubiquitous cigarettes, being used as a narcotic to calm frayed
nerves and becoming a habit and therefore no longer pleasurable. Common
sense dictates that anything you do to your body in excess (a habit) is
detrimental. |
Cigar Sizes
Cigars come in many different shapes and
sizes. The diameter of a cigar is measured in increments of 64ths
on an inch which is termed its "ring gauge." Therefore a 44 gauge
Corona is 44/64th
inches in diameter. The change in your pocket (assuming you are in
the United States) can be used as quick and dirty ring gauges.
