Following is a snippit from page 4:





Emilia's Monday morning cigar-smoking was a reenactment of an ancient Indian ritual. Beatrice translated a description of the ritual from Spanish:

The rebel Indians communicated with their ancestral warriors by keeping their bones in a clay pot and smoking tobacco; this pleased the ancestors and ensured victory. One of the most interesting rituals in the Afro-Cuban spiritual houses is the peculiar way in which the mediums smoke tobacco. The Afro-Cuban medium, and all the spiritistas, place the lit part of the cigar in their mouth, and they inhale the smoke in this way, without breathing or opening the mouth. At the stream end of the cigar, which is not lit, they exhale the smoke which reaches out into a fine, beautiful line and leaves a trail of aroma in the air, covering the room. And thus they sit in a circle. The tobacco ritual prepares the environment so that the group can transcend their everyday world. The power of culture is amazing. In the same way, we can see that tobacco was being smoked 500 years ago by the indigenous people in the Caribbean. This ritual was passed on to the Afro-Cuban women who were the traders of tobacco. Some people believe that tobacco is symbolic of the AfroCuban culture. It's a combination of strength; and it's composed of different cultures÷the AfroSemitic culture, which goes back to the 13th and 14th centuries when the Moors, Africans, Jews, and Gypsies formed a minority in Spain. We know that there was a lot of cultural assimilation going on when they came to Cuba in the 15th and 16th centuries....
 
LOL, :laugh: I have nearly done that myself! I am more prone to turning into seatbelt when driving with my cigars :whistling:
 
I haven't done anything like that with a cigar yet but just so's ya don't feel lonely and all...

Once upon a time, back when I was an electronics technician in my previous life, I was soldering a cable harness. Just for a second, I place the soldering iron down in it's rest and half-turn to get something behind me. No, wait...it's a little farther back. There. Got it. But what's that funky smell? Sounds like something's sizzling, too. Oh look, it's my thumb...sitting right on the tip of my soldering iron. And it's smoking. GODDAMNMUTHERFUGGINSONUVABITCHINCOCKSUCKINSHIT! My, that smarts.

Talk about dumbshit moves.
 
Well shit,
How else is one supposed to do an in-depth review of a cigar? You MUST take in to account ash texture, color, flavor and absorbancy to fully appreciate any well made stick. I'd have thought that all of you that are well experienced cigar afficianados would've been reviewing this way all along ....sheesh I am disappointed. ;) Bravo to you ddepaola for doing things the right way. :sign:
 
Hell I wasd drunk one time and put my triple flame torch lighter to my ear to "listen" if it was out of fluid. Guess I pushed the button down to far and burnt the shit out of my ear.
