    Its hard to be humble when you own a Donzi. (In my humble opinion).

    ok , I've seen the story of the resto on this boat before but it begs the question , did Don actually ever run a Formula named 'The Cigarette ' .
    I was always under the impression that that name didn't come out until boat company number 4 .

    From his day with the Beatles...that's Ringo...I'd say it's a 'yes.'

    Don

    always liked the name cigarette which he knew of as a NY kid hearing stories of the rum runner that was too fast to be caught "the Cigarette"

    Cigarette, owned by Mobster Vannie Higgins, out of New York harbor, the fastest of the Rum-runners, capable of 42 knots


    I know we have talked about this before but if you get to see the history channel special on prohibition and rum running it is well worth it it truly is the start of our addiction .

    stories of the black duck, the artemus , fishermen buying army surplus liberty engines and hopping up their boats to go faster than the CG!

    a good watch with a neat bourbon and a fine stogie


    When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
    When the waves are high and the light is dying,
    well raise a glass and think of me...
    When I'm home again,
    boys, I'll be buying!

    Yes , I know why he chose the name 'Cigarette' but did he ever run a Formula named 'The Cigarette' ?
    Not taking anything away from this guy's resto but it possibly muddies the waters of history .
    I'm a bit skeptical .
