Great Adventure Cigar

We all have it in our minds: the effigy of an avid cigar smoker. The effigy my brain generates is of somebody looking relaxed, content in his refinement as the cigar dangles from his mouth like the lollypop of a happy child.

Perhaps the effigy in your mind equates cigars with yourself, or perchance you equate them with a family fellow member – a rich uncle puffing in among hardy laughs, a jolly aunt whose cigar covers up portions of not wanted facial hair. Whomever you equate with cigars, chances are you also equate them with somebody famous.

Prominent Puffers and What They Had to Say regarding Them

Groucho Marx: Known for physical comedy and not owning eyebrow tweezers, Groucho Marx is thought to be one of the biggest comedians in history. Perhaps even more widely known and esteemed than his comedy was his affinity for cigars. For him, they appeared to be almost a permanent body part, like an extra limb.

He was once cited as saying, “Given the choice amid a woman and a cigar, I will always choose the cigar.” This could perchance be one reason why all three of his marriages ended in divorce.

Winston Churchill: A British Statesmen and eventual Prime Minister, Winston Churchill was known as one of the truest and best orators ever to have spoken. From this widely known and esteemed mouth of his, a cigar was closely always found.

He was once cited as saying, “I must point out that my rule of life prescribed as an utterly sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after, and if need be for the duration of all meals and in the intervals amid them.” Seeing how he smoked among 8 and 10 cigars a day, he seemed to utilise this sacred rite rather frequently.

George Burns: A comedian who gained fame in his early years for being so damn amusive and in his later years for being so damn old, George Burns was seldom photographed without a cigar. He took cigars with him on stage and chose what brand to smoke based on how long each brand would stay lit.

He was once cited as saying, “Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman – or a bad woman; it depends on how much pleasure you may handle.”

Sigmund Freud: The man behind the psychoanalysis curtain, Freud begun smoking at the age of 24 and averaged 20 cigars a day. A lifetime smoker, he often times believed he was not competent to work without smoking a cigar.

Though he oftentimes saw phallic symbols in everything, he was once cited as saying, “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” Yes, and on occasion a mother is just a mother rather of a love interest.

Mark Twain: The man who wrote tales of young boys learning when it comes to life on journeys down the outstanding Misssissipp’ was an avid cigar smoker. Whether smoking as Mark Twain, or smoking as Samuel Clemens, he smoked someplace among 22 and 40 cigars a day.

He was rumored to have once said, “If smoking is not permitted in Heaven, I shall not go.”

Franz Liszt: A Hungarian composer and pianist, Franz Liszt was a forefather of romantic music. Known as the biggest pianist of his time, he was attuned to great cigars.

He was once cited as saying, “A good Cuban cigar closes the doors to the vulgarities of the world.”

King Edward VII: The oldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, King Edward VII was born in 1841. A man of voracious appetite, he many times ate five meals (each consisting of ten courses or more) and smoked 12 huge cigars and 20 cigarettes per day.

With the words, “Gentleman, you may smoke,” after his coronation in 1901, he ended the intolerance for tobacco that was a cornerstone to his mother’s reign.

Whether your effigy of the “cigar smoker” is somebody famous, the product of the widely known and esteemed united together (perhaps a Sigmund Freud and Grouch Marx love child), or someone altogether unknown, avid cigar smokers have two things in common: they take delight in what they’re smoking and (as attested in the above quotes) they surely can’t complain.

One of the best CDs I’ve purchased this year
By A
Janus Stark’s has everything it takes to become a great rock band. Their slashing guitars and tight lyrics makes their firstborn album a high energy ride with no let down. Songs like ‘Enemy Lines’ ‘Every Little Thing Counts’ ‘Clique’ and ’200 Duty Free’ blast out of the speakers with astounding intensity while ‘White Man Speak With Fork Tounge’ flows from the CD player with a calm that masks the songs darker nature.

Great Adventure Cigar – Janus Stark
By Ian Platt
Janus Stark have a range of outstanding tunes that range from the calm “Floyd (What are you on?)” to the aggressive “White man speak with fork tongue”. Although I heard of Janus Stark accouple of years ago, I only found a copy of their album a few months ago … . It is definately worth listening too and will get your adrenaline pumpinging for a night out!

a will have to to buy…
By Allen (mharvey@rockbridge.net)
The three musicains in this band have come a long way from being in The English Dogs…all the way from the early eighties to now with the name Janus Stark. They have gone through galore dissimilar styles as the English Dogs…punk, speed metal, and pop punk. The album prior to this with the name the English Dogs called “All The World’s A Rage” was an awsome album and sounds precisely the same as this one… I would recommed buying it if you like Janus Stark..
