2008Me and Cuban cigars go back like baseball and Babe Ruth. We are just meant to be and I have a history that can back that claim up really good. In fact, it will guarantee that I am meant to share my love of Cuban cigars with everybody. You see, I came to this planet through a family who has been smoking Cuban cigars for like four generations. I must say that it truly is a blessing to be part of a family like that. The word unique can describe me fully and especially my Cuban cigar smoking situation.
I have to tell you, I got started with Cuban cigar smoking at a very young age. Me and my little cousins we got started smoking Cuban cigars in our teenage years and have never looked back. We don’t smoke cigarettes, just Cuban cigars. Not a bad way of doing things I must say. It’s fun, you get to hang out with your family and friends, and just a have a great time over all. Isn’t that what life is all about, great times all around?
What caught my attention was the aromas and the smell that filled the room when thy lit those cigars up. It was almost quite heavenly and appealing to me. Of course watching my grandpa and dad have a great time together added to the whole scene of enjoyment. It was nice to see how smoking Cuban cigars brought peace and happiness to all the boys in my family. It was almost magical and very peaceful to watch.
However, Cuban cigar smoking wasn’t something I observed just between my dad and grandpa. It was something that all the boys did in our family including a few occasional puffs by the women every now and than. Every Tuesday’s and Thursdays Uncle Johnny and Sean will drop by with their family and kids and they would run off to the living room with glasses of Scotch. Soon they would be all siting around in wooden chairs with some light music playing in the background going on and and about their days.
I remember each of them had their own favorite brand. If they shared the brand, they definitely liked a different model more than the other. Like Uncle Eric and Uncle Sam loved the Cohiba brand, but they both had a different model that they favored. Uncle Eric liked the Cohiba Siglo 6 while Uncle Same loved the Cohiba Robusto. It’s amazing how none of the family members agreed on one particular brand model.
