( i am not referring to you or anyone here when I say that) Everyone has their own tastes and preferences whether it be cigars, entertainment, or politics. To me ignorance is a much more off-putting trait than arrogance and Rush is not ignorant. I agree with Rush's politics and find him very entertaining . I find the list of cigar recommendations referenced here to by and large not fit my tastes at all, but Rush is a conservative first, a capitalist second and as others have noted I believe the list is influenced by his capitalist arrangement with Finck. I have heard him say that his favorite cigar is actually the Partagas Lusitania, so he does have that going for him.

My post and windbag comments were, for the most part, in response to his cigar preferences and recommendations. I don't want to listen to his BS on cigars any more than I would want to hear a professional athlete's musings as a food critic or a Hollywood personality's take on politics.

Rush is undoubtedly an intelligent man. I agree with some of what he believes and disagree with some as well. I am put off by his arrogance. One can be intelligent and confident without being arrogant. IMO, Rush fails at this.
I would not consider him a leader by any stretch of the imagination. He is just one person who has the advantage of the limelight.

His has stated his favorite is a Partagas Lusitania? If he has said this, he changes his story for the audience just like any politician.
