Cigar Enthusiasts New Years Resolutions
As a registered Cigar Enthusiast, self-ordained Keeper of the Vitola and full time curmudgeon, I, Bob McDuffee do hereby resolve:

1. To quickly renew my membership in Cigar Rights of America or if not a member, to join.
2. To experience cigars that I may have passed up as 'not my style' in sizes that I may have considered 'not my style'.
3. To treat every cigar with the respect it deserves, except the really awful ones of course.
4. To stop saying body when I mean some subjective sense of the weight and mouth filling characteristics of smoke.
5. To consistently use the term body when referring to the complete sensory experience of a cigar as a means to describe the fullness of flavor, the strength of flavor, strength of aroma and quantity of smoke.
6. To never, ever smoke a flavored cigar.  Since this one violates #2 above, I may have to reconsider.
7. To always carry a cigar in my pocket, to wear my Tobacco University pin with pride and to make certain that everyone around me knows I am a cigar smoker.
8. To provide to at least one other cigar enthusiast a unique cigar that they may not otherwise try.
9. To never allow myself to consider that I may not have time for the relaxation and enjoyment of a fine premium cigar.
10. To faithfully listen to all episodes of DogWatch Cigar Radio and Cigars One to One while reading the amusing Arzt of the Cigar, Cigar Curmudgeon and Wrapper Chatter.
11. To remember that cigar enthusiasts are people too and to remind my friends, neighbors and family of that often forgotten fact on every possible occasion.
