With so many baseball parks banning smoking altogether but with cigar bars in three parks, it’s amusing to see the interest of baseball technical experts in “The Humidor” at Coors Field in Colorado.
Simply put, the thin air of Denver makes Coors Field a hitter’s paradise, but the Rockies have responded with a special storage program for all baseballs used in games. A special shed has been outfitted with computer-controlled temperature and humidification equipment to ensure that the balls don’t dry out in the Rocky Mountain air, keeping the scores down. “The Humidor” got some credit this past season for holding the runs-per-game average down to “only” 10.72 for the 81 games played at Coors.

Los Angeles, November 16 – Cigar companies sometimes sponsor events which seem a little far afield. But after C.A.O. introduced its richly-flavored Italia line in 2004, it was only a matter of time before it became a part of the National Italian America Foundation Convention held annually in Washington, D.C.
 More than simply a cigar named for Italy, the blend actually includes Italian-grown tobacco from the Benevenuto region in the filler. At the 31st edition on October 20-21, C.A.O. was there in high style, along with President George W. Bush, continuing a tradition of Presidential appearances that back to the earliest days of the Foundation’s convention.
