1997 Cigar Aficionado article on CBOT traders and cigars

Hedging Stress

Cigars Ease the Tension for the Big Dogs on Chicago's Futures Exchanges

Fun and lengthy article if you click on above link from December 1997 Cigar Aficionado magazine that profiles a handful of CBOT traders, most notably Tom Baldwin, and their love of cigars along w/a profile of cigar shops surrounding the exchange. I have a copy of the magazine and it's also amazing how extensive the cigar boom was in the late 90s as that issue is 587 pages!
