He has 25 cigar butts, so he makes 5 cigars.  Then he smokes them, hacks up a lung, and is left with 5 cigar butts.

Using these, he makes one more cigar.

Ok, this is a fun little word game.  I'm going to give you a series of words, in no particular order.  Three of those words are related by a word you have to come up with.  For example.

foot
room
fire

Those three words can all be tied together with the word ball.

football
ballroom
fire ball.

The word that ties them together can be placed in front of, or behind to make sense.

I'm going to give you 27 words.  when you find the right words for all of them, you will be left with 9 words.  Those 9 words can be cut down to three, and then finally you will have one word.

Make sense?

I'll post the words in the next post.

Is that list of words already seperated into groups of three, e.g. the frist three then the next three, etc., or do we have to match them as well?

You have to match them as well...  :)

And I should mention, I'm not looking for one person to solve the whole thing.  You can just start guessing on the first sets.  I'll keep track of who solves the most, and that person can do the next riddle.

what about versions of word? are they all two word phrases? Or can "of" be inserted?"

also, will you tell us which ones are right?

Pretty good.  You've found a few of them.  I'm going to say that if you get two out of three, I'm going to declare it right, and give you the third, rather than make you go back and try to figure out what the correct third is...  

Blank (point, stare, entry) - Legion
Station (radio, work, train) - e
Stone (atlas, cold, age) - e
Wild (life, flower, hog) - e

So, I'm going to go back and update the list of words, taking out the ones that are complete.  That should narrow the list down, and help out a bit.

Oh, and there is no need to use 'of' in anything.  Just the two words.
