OH MY GOD! I had that same guy at my house! My husband was at work and I saw some guy in a checkered suit get out of his car. He looked like a car sales man from the 1970s, and yes, he did smoke cigars. I opened my door and yelled out to him to ask what he was doing. Then he started walking up to my door. I slammed it shut and he rang the door and knocked on it for about 5 minutes. Then he took up the sign and left. I was VERY close to calling the police because this guy was scaring me.
