Who, me?

Um .... in a word, yes.

I like my beer cheap and domestic. I'd rather have a Big Mac than most $200 meals in a snooty French restaurant. I like my women just a little bit trashy. I've proudly drunk wine a time or two ... from a box.

But somewhere along the way, I became a snob when it comes to cigars. Go figure. Are there decent machine-made stogies out there? Maybe. Probably. But I'll never know, cuz one will never touch me lips. Ugh.
