Dear Marvin,
I am a beginner cigar aficionado, only been at it for a few years now. I have found that one of
the true joys in my life is smoking a cigar outside with my Doberman at my side. I literally drool
at the sight of your magazine—I kid not (my wife gives me grief over this). I must say your
articles and picture layout are exquisite...whoever does this on your team requires an immediate pay
raise. I have to ask two questions: what cigar did my idol George Burns smoke and how often did he
smoke?
Why is G.B. my idol? He reminds me of my grandfather, who would go out with a cigar every Sunday
during a baseball game in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and lay back in the old beat-up Chrysler 300 and
light up and just sit back and listen to the game on his car radio and enjoy every inch of the
smoke and come back in the house. I remember that cigar scent in my mind every time I light up
here in my own backyard. Thanks, Grandpa, for the great memories! Thank you and your team for such
an awesome magazine! Consider me a lifelong member.
