This is exactly why I get so skeptical when people go "deeper" in our ritual, or try to argue the antiquity of the order. Sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar.
This is a good point, and I'm glad you bring it up. Some people can get carried away. But as the great standup philosopher, George Carlin said "Some times a cigar is just a cigar, but sometimes it's a big brown dick!" I dislike that many who dismiss the subject of symbology, or the mystical roots of Masonry dismiss everything about it rather then submit it to the "sniff test".
