Cigars and Tobacco

As humans, we often wonder about our heroes' (and, perhaps, our enemies') opinions on the most assorted of topics. Mark Twain's speech “Cigars and Tobacco” serves to satiate such curiosities. In it, he details his storied history with those two substances and his search for the “worst cigar in the New York Market.” It's a brief treat for anyone who's ever wondered about Twain's tobacco consumption, or simply wants to read some miscellaneous wit from this literary master.
