Everybody knows that Christopher Columbus discovered America, but do you know that he also discovered cigars?

Columbus did not invent nor create cigars, either. However, he did observe the local natives in the Caribbean smoking an unfamiliar substance, either rolled up inside of a large leaf, or through a tube referred to as a tobago.

Columbus and his sailors packed up some of their newly discovered tobacco and returned to Spain, where the methods of making cigars and pipes were readily perfected.
