Tobacco tastes nice, which is why people, including Brock, like cigars. Not as nice as green, but like coffee and booze you get a tobacco hit also. Gives you an excuse to pause and get out of a shit office or factory job for five minutes in the past. I used to roll my own (Dutch halfzware shag like Drum and Duma ) and miss that, but feel much better health wise, and don't know how I could ever had afforded it now looking back.
