Cigars Help Athletic Performance

[Mazeman]

Did you know that Michael Jordan smoked a cigar before every Bulls' home game since 1994? It helped him relax on the ride in. I learned this in his recent Cigar Aficianado interview.

Since the performance-enhancing properties of cigars are clear, should cigarsmokers.com start their own Olympic team? I'll throw shot-put!

I always wanted to try the high dive........ How many points for a belly flop?

i'm sure you'd get a lot of points, but they'd be delivered post-humously.

On another point, the general trend seems to be greatness aided by a cigar. We have the aforementioned Jordan, and the great Bambino, we also have Winston Churchill (great enough to have a universal cigar size named after him) Sigmund Freud, Groucho Marx (And Karl as well), Me, Jack Nicholson, Fidel Castro (at least he's famous/infamous), and Al Capone among others. Cigars are a symbol upon themselves of success, that's why all the evil/money-hungry super-rich stereotypical soulless CEO's always smoke cigars (that, and they can afford to smoke them).

Considering the height of the platforms they dive off, I might need a good cigar to stop the pain after a belly flop. When I was younger I belly flopped off of a 15 foot jump, I can still remember the sting......

I loved the way you worked yourself in that list....... Very subtle!

I'm terribly sorry, i forgot to mention Mark Twain, the classic self-acclaimed purveyer of "The Worst" Cigars

The list should have loked like this...

I apologize for the lack of such a great cigar-person in the origional list.

Sounds about as good as playing lawn darts at night.

[cls515]

just because the greatest basketball player of all time smoked a cigar before each home game does not mean cigars enhance athletic performance. Traffic was bad and he likes cigars.

[nhcigarfan]

Yes but it doesn't mean it didn't enhance athletic performance either.

Besides, considering the level of golf John Daily play's at I think I need more booze and cigars. Just to improve my game you know...

That is NOT a winning attitude Mr. Chamber. TAKE A LAP!

The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.
