"Only rich snobs smoke them."Probably used to be true, so...meh.Oh, and can I read the article?

I would say maybe the movies? Especially mob movies I would think. Didn't the main character in The Sopranos smoke cigars? Im not sure. Just my 2 cents.

Random enough, at the start of every episode of Undercover Boss, they talk about rich CEOs and show a guy drinking scotch and smoking a cigar. I think they also mention that said bosses are out of touch with their business.

Giving the puke the courtesy of a post is more than hes worth. Hes clearly a whack job.

John, you can't cut out half my statement!It's a fair statement to say that cigars are associated with the rich and powerful. No?

I've said this somewhere else before but even though. I know cigar aficionado gets bashed, especially for its rating systems, I think that the magazine does a nice job of promoting cigar smoking in a positive light. I'm not into celebrities at all but when when one graces the cover I think it does the hobby good. Assuming it's not rodman.

True. I don't know for sure but I hope he's never been on their cover.

I couldn't see the cigar over the crazy, so I don't think he's going to harm our standing in the community. I think the current dislike of cigars is also partly just about the overall disapproval of smoking in general.

Well, just drop a line to his buddy Kim, in N. Korea, stating that DR wants to take over, problem solved. L'il Kim will have him run over by a tank.

Dennis Rodman apologized Thursday for comments he made in North Korea about a detained American missionary, saying he had been drinking and was under pressure as he organized an exhibition game featuring former NBA players.

I think there was a time when only the rich and powerful drove cars - not so much these days.
