Story
As humans, we often wonder about our heroes’ (and, perhaps, our enemies’) opinions on the most assorted of topics. Mark Twain’s speech “Cigars and Tobacco” serves to satiate such curiosities. In it, he details his storied history with those two substances and his search for the “worst cigar in the New York Market.” It’s a brief treat for anyone who’s ever wondered about Twain’s tobacco consumption, or simply wants to read some miscellaneous wit from this literary master.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Don’t waste your time.
The reader doesn’t pronounce basic terminology correctly. At first I thought it was a mistake but after a few chapters it became annoying and turned it off.

Narrator mispronounces so many words
As someone who has been in the business for quite sometime, I am shocked how many noncigar terms he is mispronouncing.
“Hume it er” instead of “Hume I dor”
He also mispronounces Cognac, and aficionado.
I am trying to learn more but am concerned of the credibility of him Mispronouncing so many words
