Cigar Social Network
Dylan and Christian: Can you knock it off already?
Just got an e-mail from Camacho announcing how the company will once again be providing the Emmy Awards with lotsa free cigars for the actors, directors, etc.
Just how many of those folks do you think use their influence in efforts AGAINST the rights of "everyday" tobacco purchasers and users like the participants here at Social Cigar?
Please, support these uberelites with free stuff if you want to, and feel free to announce it on this here forum board you kindly let us play on.
But for crimony's sake, PLEASE STOP SENDING ME E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENTS about your support of these celebrity events. Bad enough to see rich, non-customers getting freebies, but it's like a sharp stick in my eye to think of the individuals among them who would see to the outright ban of smoking everywhere if only they had enough time in front of microphones and cameras to carry off that plan.

Well, mmk may be surprised to know that Dylan himself sent me an e-mail reply telling me how to unsubscribe from Camacho's announcements. (And the "unsubscribe" link actually worked--in the past it wouldn't!)
So, Top Brass does actually look in at this site, I guess. Thanks Dylan. And mmk, the overseers are watching, continue to be good!

In the '90s, when everyone had the guts to admit that it's fun to have a stogies now and then, you used to be able to see your favorite film and tv stars relaxing with a cigar at a club on some news report, and it was no big deal. Then the next week, an interview would appear in the teen magazines where that star would disavow smoking, say they had never smoked, etc., to cover the role model thing and also fulfill the part of their contract that says that they behave properly in the public eye. Yes, it was hypocrisy, but everybody knew what was going on, just the same way we know that many of these folks probably do drugs and sleep around, but they most just hurt themselves so who cares?
But nowadays everything has become corporatized and everyone has to be good little boyscouts and girlscouts. Just as many municipalities are forcing their workers to quit smoking or lose their jobs, stars like Katy Perry who last year snatched up some of that good Camacho booty this year has to make a huge public show of how she is quitting smoking for her health, etc., and you can bet we will never again hear anything about her smoking. It used to be only raving maniac drug addicts and alcoholics who got treated this way, being forced to behave themselves, but apparently what used to be good enough is no longer nearly good enough for all the crazy people holding the purse strings. And keep in mind that the ones holding the purse strings don't have to be good little boy and girlscouts - they do whatever they want - it's only their puppet slave workers who have to toe the line to protect their insanely bulging purses.

Lol. Thanks buddy. I now feel like my effort was worth it.
P.S., it's not like it takes me hours to churn that stuff out.

What kills me is thinking about how many of the celebs aren't even cigar smokers or won't enjoy them at all. If I was a red carpet celeb I think I might go around to each dressing room and try to take the cigars off their hands through coercion or trading for other crap in the gift basket. I don't need a new phone.
Look for me in a few years walking out with an emmy and an armful of cigars.

Does anyone know what caused the boom back in the mid-90's?
