In Love With Cuban luxury....

It has been at lest two weeks since I pen down my thoughts. Why? I was pre-occupied by the temptations in life...men, sinful yet exciting hobbies ...yes I pick up cigar on the 5th day of CNY 09. In fact smoking is not new to me, having taste cigarettes while I am still in mom's tummy. Mom still continues to smoke today but me and my younger brother did not pick up smoking until the day when my "noti" emotions took over me. Brother is still pure and untouched by the nicotine : ).

My first cigar was a Ramon Specially Selected (SS) @ The Olde Cuban and it is an aged cigar kept by DY who is obviously is the culprit behind my excitement for cigars. I was worried that I might make a fool out of myself since cigar is touted to be one of the rich man's hobbies and a luxury enjoyment and to make it worse, I have always thought the cigar is a man thing, you know what I mean. Never imagine myself putting that long and huge stuff in my mouth...Ewwwweee it looks awful...my inner self was telling me. I succumbed to the temptations had my first puff and in less than 5 mins my second and the rest was history.... ( not that long history though as I just started for less than 3 weeks ). Curious to know more about cigars saw me doing frantic research on the web, trying to learn more about this luxury culture from the west which is slowly creeping to the east.

Cigar @ 1st

A cigar is a tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobbaco which is ignited so that its smoke may be drawn into the smoker's mouth. The native inhabitants of the islands of the Caribbean Sea, Mesoamerica and Mexico have smoked cigars since as early as the 10th century. To date, there were only mentioned about the rich and famous from the west and their love for cigars. Rich people are often caricatured as wearing top hats and tux and smoking cigars. Cigars are often smoked to celebrate special occasion. As Rudyard Kipling said in his poem The Betrothed, "A woman is only a woman: but a good cigar is a smoke."

Keep Smoking.....
