Cigar Aficionado magazine paid tribute to right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh , who died Wednesday at the age of 70.
But it left out one key detail about the longtime smoker.
The tweet called Limbaugh “a giant among cigar smokers,” and the story spoke of his love of attending cigar events as well as his relationship with Editor-in-Chief Marvin Shanken, who recalled dinners in a “smoke-filled-room” and their time together on the golf course.

Twitter users lit into the magazine for the omission:
