The D.C. Guys are Just Smoking Their Cigars…

Just Smoking Our Cigars…

What’s smelling up the avenues of K Street in Washington D.C.?

Ah, that pungent smelly aroma of cigar stench.

Just a bunch of guys getting together to enjoy a little smokarooni amongst fellow cigar lovers.  Don’t pay any attention to the fact that they just coincidentally happen to be from major pharmaceutical and oil companies and congress. And, from big tobacco…

They are just a bunch of smoke-loving cigar guys and gals–mostly guys–enjoying “comraderie.”

Of course, if they happen to talk about other things, “wink” “Wink” – it’s only amongst cigar lovers. And, Hey, it’s all OK with the House Administration Committee.

2010 Election in CA 50th with Bilbray and Busby
