This blog is dedicated, but not limited, to the discussion of the finer things in life, Cuban cigars, Belgian beer, straight razors, music, food, family and friends (in addition to the ramblings of an old-school cat trapped in a modern world.) Bienvenido, and enjoy.
A travesty.....that cigar in Churchill's mouth IS history. But everyone wants to be so PC these days they would rather airbrush over history instead of displaying it for the true grit and grime it really was.
History at best is flawed, much less editing photos. By the way, Churchill was a racist....he felt that both the Blacks in Africa and the Irish were subhuman, and that the British Empire could "raise them up".
Back to cigars, for those that do not know, one size and shape of a cigar is a "Churchill ", and another cigar is a "Sir Winston".
Know that is just plain stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnd frightening.
Maybe they would prefer a picture of Hitler....he was intensely anti-tobbaco.
ReplyDeleteDidn't the "Politically Correct" do the same thing with the classic photo of Miles with a cigarette in hand?
ReplyDeleteYes they did, in addition to a photo accompanying an article regarding Miles' contributions to fashion.

ReplyDeleteChurchill basically chain smoked cigars.
