Cigar Smoking Not Hobby

(Moline) The practice or habit of cigar smoking does not deserve hobby status according to the North American Diversion and Needlepoint Consortium here. The committee, manned by people with nothing else to do all day, reversed a previous decision made back in March and reported by this newspaper.

     During an emotionally charged meeting several proponents of cigar smoking lit up and then stormed out of the hall.

     The final vote of 5-0 refused to recognize cigar smoking as a legitimate hobby. In further action the group did a crisp about-face on the status of stamp collecting which was deemed immoral almost three months ago as well.

     “There is nothing obscene about placing stamps in a scrapbook and then forgetting about them,” said the group.

     As expected the announcement skirted comment on the use of airplane glue in close quarters and the raising of dangerous herbs. A harsh response on the part of cigar chompers and the National Brotherhood of Humidors is not expected.
