Montecristo Rock And Roll
Jul 15th, 2010 by Admin
This cigar smokin’ guitar playin’ rock star was standing around the front of our house this afternoon making a terrible racket and scaring all of the dogs and children in the neighborhood…. Rock musicians are known for their wild and crazy behaviour and the stories that spring up from backstage antics to tour bus fights and mad raging bouts with drugs and alcohol keep us all entertained for hours but what isn’t really known, or documented, is the amounts of cigars that are smoked by them. Brian Setzer from the “Stray Cats” is known to be a devoted cigar smoker, as is Tico Torres, the drummer for “Bon Jovi”. I’m sure that a lot of Montes are smoked back stage as are cigars from many cigar producing countries, whether Cuban or not!! Stay tuned, as in this next little while I’ll do a lot more research into who is smoking what in the wild world of Rock and Roll….. If you know of any musicians that love the odd stogie, leave a comment.. Thanks!

Jim Babjak, guitar player for the Smithereens, Rick Neilson, guitar player for Cheap Trick, and I’ve heard that Steven Tyler of Aerosmith has an affinity for Acid cigars (still counts!) are among a few I can think of offhand.
Rick Neilson?? Wow, great!! I’ve always been a big fan of “Cheap Trick” and think they were an awesome band to see live.. Acid Cigars still count but nothing like our good ol’ Cuban favorites!! Good for Steve though…..
Thanks for the comment!!!
