The MOB & CIGARS




























THE MOB & CIGARS

The Mob have been enjoying cigars
since the days when you could get
a nice Cuban stick. The 1920's &
1930's brought a wave of crime 
that was into bootlegging and theft.
The mobs formed families and was
given territories to control. The Mob
often open social clubs where they 
would meet and enjoy cigars and
drinks. These clubs were also the 
offices where business would be 
discussed. The contacts that the 
Bosses had would allow them the 
finer things in life like a Cuban
cigar or premium Scotch. The Mob
Bosses would often be seen in their
Italian suits, hats and a cigar. The
idea was if you were the Boss then
look like it. Some of the Bosses and
their crew would be seen on the 
street corner puffing away, now 
weather that was from stress or the
pure love of the cigar we will never 
know. The bond between the Mob and
cigars will always be interlinked in
the public eyes by images they have
seen good or bad.
