If you've ever been to Augusta National, chances are you've smelt it. We're not talking about fresh cut grass but cigar smoke.

"It's part of the atmosphere. it's the Masters experience. Good cigar, good golf and good weather."

It's become a part of the aroma emanating through the air at Augusta National. It's not the smell of concessions, not the smell of victory but the smell of burning cigars.

"Having been that I've been smoking cigars since I was four, let me tell you it's a true enjoyment. It's a pleasure," golf fan and cigar smoker Ramon Bardales said.

Bardales traveled from Florida to watch the world's best compete at the Masters. Along with his trip to Augusta comes a smokey comparison, between rolled tobacco and the game of golf.

"This is true heaven. Coming out here and smoking a cigar at such a beautiful place. It's apart if the culture. It's a apart of the game," Bardales said.

Golf fans will tell you it takes a good pair of sneakers, a good pair of knees but most importantly a good cigar to enjoy the Masters.

"It goes hand and hand. There's just no way you can come to a golf course and not enjoy a good cigar. There's nothing more attractive, sensual or sexy than a woman smoking a cigar and I like that," Bardales said.

We spoke with one cigar vendor on Washington Road. He tells us business is up this year. He's selling about 100 a day
