Winston Churchill was a great friend of Odette Pol Roger the Grand Dame of the famous Champagne house.
Each year on his birthday, Odette Pol-Roger would dispatch Churchill a case of vintage champagne - usually the 1928 until supplies ran out in 1953. Thereafter she reserved the choicest wine for him; by 1965, he had only worked his way through to the harvest of 1934
When Churchill died, Odette Pol-Roger was one of those on the short list of personal friends invited to attend his state funeral service at St Paul's Cathedral. Afterwards, the Pol-Rogers searched for a suitable tribute to him, and found it by deciding henceforth to border their labels in black.
This tribute continues to this day.
I know it's Churchill rather than cigars, it's just a goody!
During an archeological dig at the Great Pyramid of Cheops in 1952, Major Arthur Bosworthy uncovered a mummy reckoned to be Byllc Lynton the high priest and advisor to the Pharaoh.
Clutched in his mummified hand was what appeared to be a Hoyo De Monterry petit robusto and the bottom of the sarcophagus contained a liberal sprinkling of a fine aromatic ash.
Bosworthy concluded that the Egyptians were far more advanced than previously thought and ventured to suggest to an incredulous public that the pyramids were in fact ?Time Machines?.
He claimed to be close to discovering how to operate the ?Time Machines? but mysteriously disappeared in March 1953. > >
Sorry??I just made that up!!!

SADDAM THE BADMAN HUSSAIN.
A condemned man is usually entitled to one last smoke, but according to a story in the New York Times, Saddam Hussein was provided with Cuban cigars while he was being held prior to his execution. The Cuban cigars were considered "mission essential", and were purchased with taxpayer dollars by the U.S. Military. A Lieutenant-Colonel is now facing a court-martial over the incident.
Another smokin cat gets smoked......Another brick in the wall..
