Arch West, 1914-2011


The man credited with creating Doritos has died in Texas at the age of 97. Arch West is reportedly to be buried with a few handfuls of the chips he created before they put the dirt in the urn according to family members.

Here at the Cigar, we can shed a :_( for Mr. West- after all he invented some dangerously addictive tortilla chips that we adore. Seriously: those regular flavored Salsa ones- Doritos Company, if you're reading this, please, please, please, bring them back!! Or maybe you shouldn't- I'm trying to lose some weight and get back into a good workout routine, after all. Though it should be noted I was 50 pounds lighter when I was eating those crazy addictive Salsa Doritos by the bagful, so maybe they should bring them back, I don't know.

Anyway- if you've got a bag of Doritos handy- the one pictured above has long since vanished into my belly, then grab a handful of the glorious things and eat them in tribute to a culinary genius. Mr. West, you will be missed.
