Great Moments In Cigar History: The Nineteenth Century

April 4th, 2008

Some businesses are more romantic than others.

For example,
compare winemaking with toothpick-making. Now, the wine business is, on
a day-by-day basis, anything but one ecstatic Cabernet Sauvignon after
another. You have to handle distribution, advertising, labor, storage -
one prosaic detail after another. And the toothpick isn’t nearly as
boring as it looks - science journalist Henry Petroski has devoted, in
fact, an entire book to it, The Toothpick, which, critics say, makes
unexpectedly fascinating reading. The toothpick even has its own little
place in literary history - it’s the business by which Chad Newsome,
hero of Henry James’s great novel The Ambassadors, is said to have
earned his living.

Still - would you rather get seated at a party next to a wine guy, or a toothpick guy?
