You want to have more fun with your cigar? Get this book! Because you've laid out a lot of cash to smoke that stogie, you might as well impress the folks that don't care how much you paid for it. This book is loaded with tons of fun gags, tricks, and things to do with your cigar and smoking stuff. For less than what you'd pay for a couple of good smokes, you'll have the stuff to light up a good smoker and be the life of the party. I know, I've been getting big reactions from ideas in this book every time some one fires up a cigar. It's show time! Oh, and it makes a killer gift for your favorite cigar smoker. I've given away a bunch to cigar-smoking clients with great results.
