Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Before I get flamed by the ladies here (pun semi-unintentional), the title is from Kipling's "The Betrothed," 1886. That quote popped into my mind when I saw this morning's story 'bout Bubba's tastes in cee-gars. Maker of World's Most Expensive Cigars Says Bill Clinton a Client Not a big Bubba fan, but hey... "Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!" And for fun: The Betrothed "For Maggie has written a letter to give me my choice between "The wee little whimpering Love and the great god Nick O' Teen." [He weighs up Maggie's looks, and what she will be at fifty; the limitations of monogamy against "a harem of dusky beauties"; and the relatively unknown woman against the tried and tested "Counsellors" and "comforters". His conclusion is:] "And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a Smoke. "Light me another Cuba - I'll hold to my first-sworn vows, "If Maggie will have no rival, I'll have no Maggie for a spouse!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Har! Read the article, Dusty... these ain't Roi-Tans~! But I wonder how Hillary feels about 'em... Might be why they have separate beds rooms cities states... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Mike Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm still hung up over the proposition that Hillary counts as a woman... not that I doubt Bubba would rather smoke a good cigar than be with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Scalped Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 About the time my very best friend and I got old enough to start getting interested in girls his father said that to us many times. I never knew where it came from until now. I always thought his dad made it up. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawnee McGrutt Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Be careful, Slick Willy, cigars, and women are ingredients for jokes that can get you warning points. If Bubba offers you a smoke, say no thanks. I have been told you never know where it's been. Shawnee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I thought Monica stopped him from smoking seegars. Blackfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Not necessarily (or at all) a Bubba fan... but a good cigar is sooooo enjoyable... Unfortunately, asthma and a history of bronchitis make that a rare treat for me. But on a special occasion... it'll happen. My humidor is handy. Nothing like HE smokes, but hey... good enough for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
