Oh yeah, it is also waterproof up to 100 feet. Cause you know we all love to smoke a fine cigar while in scuba gear.
Does anyone have any good book or website recommendations on where I can get good, unbiased scotch and/or cigar information. Something like a Scotch for Dummies or Cigars for Idiots?
