All the Italian grandfathers smoked De Nobilis. They would soak them in their homemade wine the basement and dried them on the hood of cars. When I was 12 his grandson Jimmy and I stole one off the hood and lit it up. After coughing and almost choking we swore never again.. They looked tasted and resembled lil dog turds, not that I would know! This 'thing' no matter how small was deadly. Gramps with lil cigar would attach to his bottom lip and moved up and down like a conductor never missing a beat screaming in Italian. He found out that we raided his stach and hey yelled in 'You summana bitch' We once offered him our roach clip! It took me a decade to realize how stupid we were!

I used to chew (and occasionally light) Parodi's, and sometimes DiNobilies. From about 1972 to 1993...Maybe a Swisher Sweet now and then, too...I also drank Genesee Cream Ale, known locally as "Green Death"...
A potent combination...

That means he would have smoked roughly 7 cigars a day, every day, from the time he was age 10.

US Grant also died of throat cancer!
Imagine that! Not a bullet but cigars doomed him! He was able to complete his memoirs on July 19th 1885 and died 3 days later>

I'd say he timed that exactly right...

Those Toscano cigars are sure rough and potent. I haven't had one of those in awhile.
