Akram sent me this:
"Q: What Are the plans of Mr. Cigar Tlas?
A: To live in safety with his family [he meant his wife, but as a devoted Muslim who already accomplished Al-Oumra, he can't say it explicitly] and children.
Q: Why?
A: Because he cannot accept being safe while his people [as his car or his cigar] is not.
But don't worry. This brave man doesn't plan to stay abroad forever. When safety in Syria is restored and the Syrian people believed this, he will be amongst the first people there. Meanwhile, he'll keep traveling all over the world urging Syria's friends to supply arms, ammunition and, if necessary, fighters, so the peace is guaranteed to prevail in the Syrian territory".
