    Cigar Smokers: Cutters and Lighters

    Cutters and lighters The very best cutter I have ever owned is from Zikar. The quality is head and shoulders above any other I have used, regardless of the price.

    I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a Homburger today

    "Ask me no questions and ..." While I am prepared to be surprised, I don't imagine that if I ask Hats Plus if their Beaver brand Homburg is a good hat that I'm going to get anything but an enthusiastic "Yes!" "Puffery" is a long-honored tradition in sales and a prudent man would not rely on a...
