OT:I do smoke a cigar now and then. Don't ask me why; I do not know.

My guess is it's not because you think you look cool with a cigar in one hand, a martini in the other. BWDIK? BTW, I always enjoyed the aroma of quality tobacco, especially when it was curing rather than burning (I grew up in Durham, NC), but I generally avoid fads (sometimes I short them) and have no desire to die of cancer.

Regards,
Bob

PS: Yes, "mindshare" is both a recent addition to the language (not sure if Webster's picked it up yet) and a good hype word (perhaps even a fad), but it did, initially and until it became overused by those with little "share" and less "mind", have a conceptual meaning.
