PASSING OUT CIGARS
In primitive ceremonies on individual blessed with the arrival of a baby shared his fortune with the community, to avoid the envy of both his fellows and the gods. The smoke of a proud papa’s pipe drifting toward the heavens was a sort of appeasement to the heavenly powers. Today’s father’s distribution of cigars to celebrate the arrival of a baby may be regarded as a modern variant of this ritual.
