The New Cuban Revolution
Neil Clark writes in the Spectator about the cigar-smokers’ revolt against the smoking ban. I was naturally sympathetic towards the ban, partly because I had already seen it in action in Scotland, where I never noticed any of the No Smoking signs in bus shelters and all over the place, such as now deface England. But as someone whose smoking was confined to a very good cigar towards the end of the sort of function that calls for such (basically, if wearing a dinner jacket, then have a Cuban in the inside breast pocket), I must say that I do miss it. And I miss the smell of pipe tobacco as well, in certain locations.
