Cigarette name origination
Does anyone know what inspired the late Mr. Don Aronow to name his boat company "Cigarette" and why?
I have heard many 'stories' but was wondering what the real deal is and I thought this would be THE place to ask.
Thank you,

Re: Cigarette name origination
one day he was leaning on the building of donzi, i think it was the rigging shop.. anyway, we was looking over 188th street, the street he created and thought to himself what else is there to do.. as he thought he was done, he finished his cigarette and threw it on the ground. as it hit the pavement and flickered back up, still lit. the idea hit him. to make the baddest boat to date, that was the start of cigarette, and the biggest ***** getting boat to date....
