Orlando Cigar Company Wants Tiger Woods
Everyone else may have been ditching Tiger Woods and sidelining him after the scandal about his (numerous) affairs, but not this cigar company based in Orlando. Corona Cigar Co. has decided to go out on a limb and offer the “disgraced” golfer an endorsement deal worth $100,000. That amount may not seem that huge for someone like Tiger Woods but at this point in his life, he does not really have that many options. As a matter of fact, some representatives of the cigar company have gone on to ...Tampa Cigar Maker Aims For The Stars
How long is the longest cigar in the world? The last record that I know of was made by Wallace Reyes of the Gonzalez Habano Cigar Company. In November 18, 2006, he rolled a 101feet cigar with a one inch diameter (64 ring gauge). The record-making cigar was created during the annual Cigar Heritage Festival. Last week, the very same Wallace Reyes started work on another cigar, which he hopes will break the previous record. His target is to roll a cigar which is 180 feet in ...Cigar Box Guitar Man
As you may have noticed, I have recently acquired an interest in cigar box guitars. While I have heard of them before, I didn’t really pay much attention to them. I have only begun to appreciate the art involved in making these guitars. Will Sluetal, on the other hand, has been at it for quite some time. He is from Grand Haven, Michigan, and claims that he can make an excellent musical instrument given four hours and a whole lot of passion and talent. I must say, ...World’s Longest Habano
What is the world’s longest cigar? If you have an affinity for this kind of trivia, you might already know the answer. Then again, you might not have heard of the latest in this area. Just recently, a Cuban cigar roller broke his own records. Jose Castelar Cairo (Cueto) is not a stranger to the longest cigars in the world. The Caribbean News has this report: Cuban cigar roller Jose Castelar Cairo (Cueto) will receive officially his fourth Guinness Record certificate, this time ...Cigar Party In Iraq
We Americans know how to appreciate those who do things for us, and perhaps the best example would be how we are taught to respect our military men. In the past decade, we have been involved in many wars, most controversial perhaps is the Iraq War. Even today, as the war has been officially over for quite some time, we still have troops in the country, carrying out their orders even if it means being away from their homeland, from their families. This is something that David Haddad of ...Cigar Companies Eyeing Phelps
var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(234,329,614516,"http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css")}catch(ex){}}()How does that old saying go? The one about doors and windows opening and closing…hang on…I think it’s something like “When a door closes, a window opens.” I might have gotten the wording wrong but the idea is that when you find yourself being shut out of something for some reason, do not despair because somewhere along the way, other opportunities will open up for sure. And ...Dwaine Caraway Follows Baltimore’s Example
It seems that lawmakers all over the United States are out on a mission – a mission to wage war against cigars. In the last post, I wrote about Baltimore banning the sale of single cigars and instead putting a minimum limit of 5 cigars per sale. Going down south, they are trying to push a similar move in Texas. Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway of Dallas, Texas is proposing a similar measure. He originally proposed to disallow many stores to sell cigars unless the sold them ...A cigar for my father
Cigar smoking is a very old world pursuit. Whenever I light up my favorite cigar I am always reminded of my father puffing away on one at the end of a long and tiring day at work. With cigar on one hand and a glass of his favorite whiskey on the other, that image has been indelibly printed in my mind along with images of my dad and his brothers having a fun time while partaking of my father’s cigar stash.
I am now an adult and have acquired (some say inherited) my father’s passion ...
