Well, on your London trip you could certainly visit, or stay at, The Lanesborough, and smoke some really good cigars whilst reclining in a leather-backed armchair in a library. It's very pleasurable to recline in this bar on Hyde Park corner, watching people rushing by in the rain outside, whilst one sits in the warm, cozy atmosphere of a gentleman's club indulging in the most sensual of pleasures. No music though, alas. Would it be problematic to mail a few Cohibas from Toronto to Boston? If not, then there's no reason why this shouldn't be done. I agree with you about rushing through a good cigar like a fugitive in the garden - it's almost heretical, and denudes the experience of about 90% of its pleasure. Tobacco is certainly one of the archetypal male/female battlegrounds, and I believe that we owe it to future generations of gentlemen to fight tooth and nail to sustain the existence of pleasures so uniquely masculine.
As for God, for me life is so full of transcendent experience that I have no need of God for such purposes, although I do not look down upon those capable of deriving spiritual ecstasy from the notion - it must be very nice, to say nothing of being inexpensive. Also, we do have the notion of God to thank for a great deal of very beautiful devotional music and architecture, so there is that....

PS DrDNA, which of the Playboy cigar books do you refer to? It would seem that there are two.
