Description

A CIGAR is like a wife! 
Put it to your lips, and light it; 
When you’ve learnt to do it right, it 
Adds a certain zest to life. 
Mind you keep on puffing it, 
Or it’s out, and can’t be lit. 
Ah, the aroma! Ah, the glow! 
Will you have one? Thank you, No. 
- Aleister Crowley, Vanity Fair January, 1916
