Dennis Rodman’s Cigar Budget — $30,000.00 a year!

From Rich Perelman at CigarCyclopedia:

Dennis Rodman told Rick Shaw that he goes through six to seven boxes of top-quality cigars a month and spends up to $30,000 a year on cigars.

Shaw may not have believed it, but he printed it in the newest issue of Smoke.

Spinning his story between Beverly Hills’ Grand Havana Room and his new restaurant in Newport Beach, Rodman’s, the former NBA All-Star is looking to get back into the game, looking to be a successful restauranteur and just looking around.

The author asked Rodman if “he ever gets tired of being around wild parties. [Rodman] looks over at me with a wry smile and says ‘Around? Man, I’m usually in the middle of it.’”

It’s not a deep story, but it’s fun. So is the rest of the issue, which is a better and better read under the editorship of Ted Hoyt and Mark Bernardo. Check it out.
