It's a fun fact that he's kept under wraps. Not only does he light up a cigar, he has the UA photographer take a photo of him and the cigar, but does not allow it to be released. He is planning on releasing the photos once he's retired.

Beating the shite out of Tennessee every year, in his opinion, is one of his best legacies as the Alabama head coach.

Only impermissible if the cigars are not purchased by the players.

Pretty much nobody knows, which is why I started the thread, dipshit.

Did you know that major life insurance policies don't penalize you for cigar smoking, unlike cigarettes?

So has every coach since the 50s. Ut does it when they win. Started by trainer Jim goosetree.

Bama actually has to turn this in as a violation in every year we win.

I believe they still do the Orange mashed potatoes and orange cake at every meal that week also. All meats have an orange theme. Orange chicken, etc. I know aj took a photo a few years ago and the flight back meal had steak with sweet potatoes, orange cake, Orange juice and orange peko tea.

When the game ends the smoke in BDS is a sweet site. The one game where no stadium security bothers with people smoking in the stands. Hell, I gave a security person a cigar and a light right in the stadium one year.

Widely circulated facts that he's open about. The information in the OP is not. You're welcome.

I'm aware of the tradition. Not many people are aware that Saban partakes, because he doesn't allow photos of him with the cigar to be released, and it's out of character for him to celebrate in that manner.

So Henry can't light his own cigar?
