This is one of the reasons I like you, PKM. You aren't one to over analyze.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
PKM is genuinely easily amused. That's why I like him. Perfect for the LTE.
But truthfully a cigar is never just a cigar. It's a symbol, a very versatile symbol of multiple uses. It can demonstrate for some, the air of superiority. . . . Rush Limbaugh for example, and Fidel Castro. But it means something furtively unworthy of respect in the case of hey hey Billary Clinton. It's something you don't even have to actually use, as in burned for it's incense values. Just waving it around is supposed to demonstrate any point you wish to make authoritatively.
