CIGARISTICS
["According to an enterprising American scientist a man's character can be told from the way he smokes a cigar."—Weekly Paper.]
For, instance, a man who snatches a cigar from somebody else's mouth and smokes it himself may be assumed to be of a grasping disposition.
The man who while smoking a cigar burns his finger is a man of few words and quick of action. Plumbers never burn their fingers like that.
The man who smokes his cigar right through without removing it from his mouth is a deep thinker. Lord NORTHCLIFFE always smokes one cigar right through before deciding what England really wants, and two when he has to decide which Cabinet Minister must go.
The man who accepts a cigar from a friend, lights it, sniffs and drops it behind his chair has no character worth mentioning.
