i'm not sure either, including my own story.

Uh-oh! here's where this ~urban legend~ falls down goes boom. I remember
last year at a Cleveland gig we were talking to Karin and i asked her about
her cigar affinity. she laughed and thought it was funny that these rumours
abound about her cigar smoking. she said she does ~not~ smoke cigars, but
she added that ~if~ i were to score her a Cuban, she would try it.
(actually, that was the whole point of the conversation. i didn't wanna
drop $50 on a cigar for her if she didn't smoke, so since she didn't, i
got to save the 50.)
this part could very well be accurate:

i'm no expert on Linford anatomy, but i can't recall ever seeing a tattoo
on his arm. i also checked with db, who probably scoped him out better
than i ever did, and she doesn't recall this detail either. not that he
couldn't wear long sleeves or that Cardigan he's fond of every time we saw
him..... could be.

well, stef, true or not, it's a good story. i wonder if we'll ever know
the truth. might be kinda like the owl in the tootsie roll commercial.
