Where Did the tradition of men handing out and smokeing cigars after the birth of a child come from?
Where did the “tradiction” of men handing out and smokeing cigars after the birth of a child come from, whats the story behind it? Im going to be the father of twins in a few months and want to know why I would be handing out cigars.
I believe it was started by Chuck Norris. He starts everything!!!!
Nah just kidding man. I have never heard of that tradition. I don’t think you should really celebrate by smoking.
It’s because they know their lives are now over and wish to expedite death.
I think it came from I Love Lucy. In the episode where Lucy gave birth, I think they do that.
There is no clear or exact explanantion for this tradition but the info at the following link is plausible:
It was a a brilliant move by the cigar manufacturers since it helped to increase the sale of cigars./
