Good day
I story is often told about how CHS was challenged by someone with regard to his smoking of cigars (being sinful). The story goes on to say that based upon this challenge CHS quit smoking his cigars. I heard this so many times and no one could give me a primary source for this story, come to find out it is just that a story with no basis in historical facts.
Phil Johnson's 2021 presentation on the question first (13 mins)
And the web site with the source information that he points to:
Spurgeon's Love of Fine Cigars
In Him
