Famous Cigar Smokers and Their Cigars
 
I'm wondering if we can assemble a list of famous cigar smokers and the cigars they favored. For example, we all know that Winston Churchill smoked RyJ Julietta #2's, and JFK smoked Upmann Petit Coronas. Are there others you know of? It would befun to try some of these famous men's cigars.

I grew up near NYC, and I recall that there was a cigar shop that JFK had leased a locker from, and that they still maintained his locker even though Kennedy had long been dead. I can't recall which cigar shop it was, but they said they'd never sell his cigars. Anyone know which shop this may have been?

The referecne I was recalling simply said that he bought them in a store in Hollywood. Didn't name them. But other references I just found suggest they are Parodi or Toscanelli cigars. I don't know if this is accurate or not.

I know Daniel Craig has a cigar habit. Apparently he likes cigars from that island.
