Unfortunately, due to the way that computer searches work, we need to leave off accent marks and tildes in the names of the cigars in our database.  This can lead to some odd naming.

For example Devil's Weed has a Colón vitola, named after Christopher Columbus.

In our system this becomes Devil's Weed Colon.  I don't know if I really want to smoke something that came out of the Devil's colon.  :-0

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
For this time tomorrow I may die

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.
