While U.S. President Barack Obama tries to kick an old smoking habit, a Nicaraguan company has produced the latest in a flood of merchandise trying to cash in on his popularity -- "Obama" cigars.
Granada Cigars, a small outfit based in Nicaragua's tobacco-growing north, is using local and Cuban leaves to hand-roll cigars wrapped with a gold band that says "Obama 44," to commemorate the 44th U.S. president.

Shameful. I hope they get sued.
Putting something long and brown in my mouth w/ Obama's name on it? No thank you.
Thought that the WH was trademarking President Obama so that people can't do things like this?
NOOO! No cigars! We, Democrats don't do well with cigars.
Right! Ha, ha!
I don't think we'll have to worry about THOSE cigars being used in the ..... "unknown regions"!
How about this:
