"Cigars are generally considered male products, and some men have resisted women's usage of them"
James Belushi is a notorious example:
"Women are fashion-oriented, which means they'll do something for a while and then in three years, after they're done with it, they'll start to knock it. Well, this is not fashion, it's a tradition among gentlemen. Women should leave it alone." (Quoted from: www.cigarcircle.com).
I came across this piece and I'm ready to kick some butt on this one!
I initially started this post off with the intention of providing you ladies with a few suggestions for finding a cigar case to carry our cigars in public. The diva that I am, its important that the case be purposeful, but also act as an accessory to my personality! Most retailers are stuck on being stuck, have not got with the times, and have not heard the call of the Woman who loves a good cigar!
Most readers who have followed my pursuit of clearly defining the "Cigar Woman", are familiar with the road blocks and barriers I've been up against. I've talked about the alienation, the downward glances received from the "Holier than thous", and "do gooders" who would like nothing more than to thrust us back to the days of KP in the home refraining us from our unconventional bad habits!
So when I come across quotes such as the one given by James Belushi, I'm beside myself with dissappointment and disdain!
As a cigar enthusiast, Mr. Belushi are you aware of the changing times?
Mr. Belushi, I personally invite you to join us at Social Cigar, the revolutionary social network of Cigar Enthusionado, and Enthusionada (the "a" is for the welcomed Women Cigar lovers). Web 2.0 at its very best. A site soon to play an important role in the modern day cigar industry.
"And tell them Damsel sent you....I'm competing for a rep spot
- I'd appreciate it"
One other thing - Mr. Belushi, its our tradition too. Check out my previous post "She Smokes Cigars for Relaxation and Pleasure
and we hang out at Cigar Bars!
