Quote

Is he a very mortified person ? asked St. Ignatius, when the virtue of some one was praised by others. He would give them to understand that true mortification is inseparable from true piety, not only because no virtue can long exist without constant and general mortification, but also, because, without mortification, there is no such thing as true virtue.

"Unlike many of his brothers, he [St. Pius X] does not disdain the use of tobacco ; he is passionately fond of music, and is himself a musician who, with the aid of his close friend, the famous composer Perosi, may be expected to effect considerable revival of Church music."

(note: I don't endorse smoking)

Because the Pope did not disdain the use of tobacco does not make him a cigar smoker.
