Lady and the cigar...

I am in the midst of preparing my outing with the new lady of my life. I go into the humidor to choose her a cigar, when the question of ladies and cigars crosses my mind. Do the fair sex savor a cigar ? If yes, do they require special sizes, flavors and strengths ? I have magazine images of Madonna, Whoopi Goldberg or more recently Lisa Evangelista, cigar in hand, proud to show they smoke. Are the preconceptions of cigars being man's best friend, a thing of the past ? STOP ! The new generation of cigars being produced in Cuba favors flavor over sheer power. This along with the shunning of cigarette smoking, has led to an influx of female cigar smokers. How can we forget Bonnie (Bonnie and Clyde), cigar in mouth oozing female power or Marlene Dietrich, behind a curtain of cigar smoke with a hundred men twirled round her little finger. The times they are a changing and I am trembling with excitement at the prospect of offering my lady a RyJ Cedros De Luxe No.2 and hearing what she thinks. Gone are the times of loose women and actresses being the sole female cigar smokers, bring on female emancipation !
