Recessional
Do cigars really do that, and would Kipling really care?
Date published: 2/3/2005

A CO-WORKER recently received a lovely gift of three Cuban Cohiba cigars by way of Great Britain, where aficionados are untortured by a failed U.S. embargo. On the package was the British equivalent, in two parts, of our Surgeon General's warning. One message cautioned, "Tobacco harms you and others." A second was more attention-getting: "This product may constrict blood flow and and cause impotence."

Hmm. The English male's hierarchy of values must have changed a bit in the years since Rudyard Kipling said, "A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke."
