The First Cigar Heretic


Upon returning to Europe from Colombus' 1492 voyage to the "New World", the Spanish envoy, Luis de Torres, was arrested and condemned to 10 years imprisonment for sorcery for lighting up tobacco leaves in the manner of the "Indians" that he had acquired them from.

So it must be for all Cigar Heretics today... the Ministry of Health is watching you.
