Which famous cigar smoker would you like to have a smoke with?

I think Andrew Neill, as it'd be a fascinating couple of hours dissecting the politics of the day.

I'm torn between Sir Winston Churchill, who I am sure would be fascinating, and Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the great 19th centuary Baptist preacher, and I think on balance I'd go with Spurgeon. This is partly because in a former life I worked in Zaire (DR Congo) as a missionary with the Baptist Missionary Society and actually did a short course at Spurgeon's college which is located near Crystal Palace in South London.

The most famous story concerning his love of fine cigars can be found here http://www.spurgeon.org/misc/cigars.php there's also a photo of his cigar case with some of his un smoked cigars!

The following is a short extract from the account given in a Christian magazine of September 1874.

"Well dear friends, you know that some men can do to the glory of God what to other men would be sin. And notwithstanding what brother Pentecost has said, I intend to smoke a good cigar to the glory of God before I go to bed to-night. If anybody can show me in the Bible the command, 'Thou shalt not smoke,' I am ready to keep it; but I haven't found it yet. I find ten commandments, and it's as much as I can do to keep them; and I've no desire to make them into eleven or twelve."

So who would you like to sit down and have a smoke with?
