Hey Mike, I thought that your fantasy/dream/flashback thing was pretty cool. I didn't realise how many of them there were! Anyways, I was watching a few episodes today and I realised that there are heaps and heaps and heaps of references to cigars in Seinfeld. Whether they are being smoked or given as wedding gifts or burning down cabins in the Hamptons, they always seem to be around. As a suggestion I think you should start a new list of all the cigar references in Seinfeld. Just a suggestion.... :) It should give us all an excuse to watch some more Seinfeld (not that any of us need it)
You aren't the only one who has noticed that. But the ALA just doesn't have a sense of humour when it comes to cancer. :-)
American Lung Association http://www.lungusa.org/press/association/phlemmy1.html ============================================ September 11, 1998
LOS ANGELES - . . . the cigar-touting comedy "Seinfeld" was awarded the undesirable Phlemmy for the third year in a row during the Third Annual Phlemmy Awards held today in Hollywood. ... On the other side, "Seinfeld" received its third Phlemmy for glorifying cigar smoking through the characters of Elaine and Kramer. The episodes ignore the health hazards of smoking and instead endorse cigars as an acceptable part of show business and a way to relax and relieve tension.
"This might be understood as irony for mature viewers, but it sends a strong mixed message to younger viewers who might use it as an excuse to ignore warnings about what tobacco use can do to their health," Dr. Ford said. ... ================================================= What's irony? Obviously this doctor doesn't know.
I was on a web dating site for Quebecors last year and obviously I looked for girls who have the word Seinfeld in their profiles.. :) Anyway, there were a few and as I browsed to other profiles too, I was amazed to see how many wrote they like smoking cigars and drink cognac!?! I had the flash that this trend could come from Seinfeld, but then I tought it can't be. Obviously, TV shows can influence youger people a lot more than I tought. I love watching Seinfeld, but my life and habits has nothig to do with any of the characters, except maybe... Joe Devola Grrrr!!!! :)

Or in that case, it should be Whisky. They were talking about scottish product instead of Irish or American. Was it Hennigan's? Is that a real product or made up?
