Ridgewood Nj,the Tobacco Shop of Ridgewood has just received “Winston Churchill The Late Hour” cigars from Davidoff.
Churchill often appeared in public with a cigar in his mouth, and his cigar habit started at an early age. When Churchill was only 15 his mother implored him to give up the habit, even writing in a letter, “If you knew how foolish & how silly you look doing it you would give it up, at least for a few years.”
She didn’t just rely on rhetoric, though; she turned to every parent’s favorite weapon, bribery. If Churchill would give up smoking for six months, she’d get him a gun and a pony. He agreed to this deal.Eventually, he went back to smoking the large cigars that are now named in his honor.
