I found this story from James Suckling and really like the pay off line:
At the Academy Awards, Irons was introduced as a "comedy superstar." Strange, considering what a serious, dramatic actor he is. But, in fact, Irons made the crowd at the Oscars laugh. And he is a smoker.
In Havana, Irons received an award from the Cuban cigar industry as "Communicator of the Year" during the February 25 gala dinner. But he also confessed to smoking both cigarettes and cigars. "I was sitting next to a very beautiful woman today, and she asked me if I smoke both cigarettes and cigars," said Irons, standing on the stage in front of about 1,400 participants while puffing on a Partagas 8-9-8.
"I do. Smoking a cigarette is like having sex, but smoking a cigar is like making love."
