It got that way because of - 2. Quality - Always had it and always will. 3. History - Speaks for itself. 4. Benchmark Status - It seems everything is compared to it. |
I've worked on a lot of different boats over the past year and none of the other brands were built or rigged as well as a cigarette

One of the things that REALLY does it for me is the looks.
I am just head over heals for the looks of a CIG. When one is sitting in the water and you're looking at it straight on, yuo can just tell it's a CIG. Man, I'm pumped abotu the Poker Run tomorrow now..... |
I have owned 2 and like the others have said very well constructed and rigged. My first performance boat was a Fountain, there is no comparison to the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. With that said you will pay more for a Cig,. I recently bought a 21 year old Powerplay and have been very impressed with the build quality!

The smooth Ride I think is number one in my book, especially on Lake Erie..

I recently left the ranks of Cigarette owners and, while I loved my Cig for what it was, I am absolutely thrilled with my new (to me) OL. Someone equated Cigarette to Ferrari. As a Ferrari owner, I would say the comparison is more fairly to HD, and the relationship of my Old Cig to my new OL would be comparable to a HD to a Ducati. Cig has a great history and has done a fantastic job of capitalizing on its brand such that anyone should be proud to own one; that being said, there are other, lesser known makes out there that have made some performance innovations that are very attractive. My $0.02.
