Every cigar rolled by hand carries the pressure of labor, the signature of culture, and the shadow of politics.
Sebastian Saviano, America's Cigar Story: The History, Politics, and Legacy of Cigars from 1762 to the Modern Era

Ivan Goncharov
Art is its own thing, and so is craft — and creativity is common to both, in the same way as its absence. Without it, the craftsman is nothing, but just that: a craftsman; and not creative; and an artist without that creative spark is no poet: he is just someone who writes things.
Ivan Goncharov, The Same Old Story
