Smart guy. He changed the way television was produced, filmed, archived, syndicated and watched. Lucy, a comedy genius, was no slouch either, but Desi was the brains behind the Desilu empire.

The Cuban Romeo and Julieta cigarillos come in a tin or tin size slide box that look to be about the size in those photos . My Ma snagged some for me at an airport in Europe somewhere and just put them in her purse . They were wonderful little bastids . In my mind , thats what hes smoking :)

I agree. It is a cigarillo. Something a little bit larger than a Between the Acts. That is a cigar that will last fifteen minutes, tops. You know it is tasty.

Desi could afford the best with all that Desilu money. I don't think he died broke so much as disappointed with his own shortcomings. ---I know this last bit is not the turn of thread KK was provoking.

I don't think anyone reading this thread wants to dissect the philosophical aspects of Desi Arnez's career. That is a subject for another thread.

It is a cigarillo. I will stand by that until proven otherwise.
