Of stogies and state
Likewise, not all California legislators have been invited into the tent. Those who have usually return to their offices with a keepsake. “You can always tell when someone has been to see the governor,” says Assemblyman Greg Aghazarian, because “they’re running around with a cigar in their hand.”
‘Do you like stogies?’
An economy of cigars has burgeoned in the Capitol. Even nonsmokers, who predominate in the Legislature, seek out the governor’s personal stogies -- which are actually Daniel Marshall cigars with “Arnold Schwarzenegger” printed in gold on their cellophane wrappers. (Daniel Marshalls retail from $100 to $200 for a box of 25.)
Aghazarian describes the gifting process: Schwarzenegger invites you into the tent, opens a humidor or a box of cigars, pushes it toward you and says (cue heavy Austrian accent), “Do you like stogies?” or “Here. Have a stogie.” Aghazarian says he has received “a number of them.”
