A Team Of Black Jack, Poker and Cigars / 04 Januar 2006
There was a time that black jack, poker and cigars were inseparable. If you thought about a black jack or poker, you thought about a bunch of middle-aged guys sitting around the table, showing off their fancy cigars, while counting their piles of chips.

Black jack, poker and cigars have been a team for many years, and it's almost impossible to keep them apart. It turns out that many non-smokers and up in the smoking areas of casinos, just because they like the combination of heavy smoke and a good game of Texas Hold'em.
