Talk:Marie Mancini

Untitled
There's nothing wrong with this biography page, but it might be useful to acknowledge that Hans Castorp, the hero of Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain", smoked "Maria Mancini" cigars - this is noted in the article,  The Magic Mountain . I don't know if Mann's name is historically-based, or made-up; in the novel, the brand is claimed to originate in Bremen, Germany. These days at least one cigar makers offer "Maria Mancini" cigars; there is even a "Maria Mancini Magic Mountain" cigar. 206.248.138.250 (talk) 23:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
