A dozen a day? I'd have to have a tongue transplant and every day is insane. Hats off to that Cigar Stud!

You and me both! Couple pipes per week and a cigar a month (or so) is plenty good enough for me... and if money was the only concern there's still no way I'd switch to some 74 cent machine-made just so I could afford to smoke like a train. (Although I do enjoy a Backwoods now and then)

Dude, if he started smoking at 18 and has kept up his 12 cigar-a-day benchmark, that means he has smoked 411,720 cigars in his life. It's a good thing he says he likes the Tampa Sweets (for 40 cents a piece). Can you imagine the cigar bill if he smoked premiums?

Smoking that crap it makes me wonder how many sheets of re-purposed newspaper he's smoked vs how much actual tobacco

I do wonder if he were to be offered "better" smokes if he wouldn't still just prefer the Tampa Sweets. Smoke what you like, isn't that what we say?
My real takeaway from this man is, if (and that's a big If, btw) I want to live to 112, I had better step up my Smoking! lol.
Good going, Mr. Overton. My hat's off to you for a lot of different reasons. 👍😀👍

I first saw him something like 8 years ago when him and Jesse James were talking, he was holding a machine gun, a glass of whiskey, and a cigar. Glad to see he's still trucking on!

I think in all my time I've spent enough to buy a Mercedes, BMW and an around the world cruise.

Seth is an intimidating presence. I'm taping that cigar to my humidor next to some old Guinness ads:

Just to remind me I actually am doing healthy things.
That is crazy and good for him that he enjoyed all his vices to an amazing age!
