The Plight of the Schvitzer?

Short-filler, Cuban Sandwich, factory seconds. Yardgars & Dog Walkers. Premium-shaped objects to smoke when you have less time and attention to lend the experience. Might I remind you instead of machine-mades, cigarettes, and even pipe smoking (a fair lunt) before trying to find a decent cheap stogie that won't tunnel, run, plug, and also will stay lit? Oh, how the poor stay poor.

The not as wealthy stay not as wealthy. The plight of the schvitzer?

Must we always live like kings and get the gout? There's no shame outside the fat cat cigar game, unless you BYO shame to said game. Smoke premium? Of fucking course! When you can, and when that is, get the best you can. It's pretty simple. Not to mention but in closing I shall--maybe we don't have to wrap up our whole identities in smoking, and on occasion, actually abstain.

Imagine!
