occidental cigars

I had wanted to visit Cuba for a long time. I knew a little about Fidel Castro, but no idea really about what life might be like in a Communist State. Being an 80’s child I also certainly had no experience of the 50’s decade other than the movies. One of the most nostalgic smells of my childhood growing up is the smell of cigars. This was one of my fathers most enjoyed habits and that coupled with his love of Jazz and the stories he told me about the ‘good old times’ I was truly excited about stepping back in time to experience this for myself.

I was not disappointed. You cannot escape the clichés of the classic cars, cigars and mojitos, as this is what makes Cuba so attractive, and I was totally star struck by it all including the famous Nacional Hotel with its collages of the rich and famous who had stayed there. Errol Flynn, Nat King Cole, Rita Haywood and Fred Astaire. I was enchanted by the private smoking rooms where the men retire and choose from a staggering array of cigars of the highest quality. Smoking rooms where you can buy a humidor where your cigars will be kept, unquestioned until the day you return in 6 months or 10 years.

Step out of Havana and the charm and hospitality of the city continues into the countryside.

In Vinales Valley the traffic jams are the ox & carts carrying the tobacco leaves dried in the original thatched roof stores that dot the countryside. Farmers labour in the fields ploughing by hand with their trusted ox. Impressive Mogotes rise out of the valley and create beautiful shadows at dusk and offer some of the most exhilarating climbing and caving in Latin America.

The often-overlooked city of Cienfuegos is home to some exquisite architecture including the stunning Palacio de Valle, once a private home. Its relaxed main square where the locals chat away the day is home to the old theatre which still has the original furniture from the 1800’s and where one can enjoy excellent performances of Opera and Ballet.

The UNESCO city of Trinidad with its brightly coloured buildings, cobbled streets and Casa de la Trova’s playing live music well into the night is simply great fun. And just outside the town are the dramatic Sierra Escambray and Topes de Collantes National park that offers some excellent hiking and bird watching.

Cuba is also home of course, to some stunning Caribbean beaches, and now the all inclusive package holiday is not the only way to enjoy them. The new Royal Hideaway Ensenachos (Occidental Resorts) on Cayo Ensenachos on the North Coast is Cuba’s answer to sophisticated 5* beach stay without having to worry about the bill at the end. Pamper yourself in their spa or relax on the white sands or take advantage of the water sports, all at your fingertips. Don’t want 5*? Then just across the water Cayo Las Brujas offers charming bungalows on a bed & breakfast basis.

Cuba is not straight forward nor is it a gourmet country, quite the opposite and patience is key but I can tell you where to get a good meal and a fine glass of wine, where you can spend your evening in smoky bars listening to traditional music and how to really meet the truly delightful people of this country.

No one knows quite how it will change when the inevitable end of Fidel Castro’s regime arrives, but one thing is for sure, this is a country that is simply a must see whatever your age or interests.

Even the most solicitous and devoted cigar aficionado occasionally runs into a little trouble. Taste spoliation; a cigar humidor dial gone wonky; an infestation of tobacco beetles; mold; even the occasionally badly-made cigar from a generally reliable premium cigar factory–any and all of these little mishaps can blight the cigar stashes of even very careful and attentive premium cigar smokers. In these situations, as in so much of life, information is key, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Let’s take some relatively common problems one at a time.

Uneven burn or poor construction. Of course, the best way to avoid these is to order premium cigars from a reliable source. But let’s assume you’re already doing that, and that your supply–not to mention your taste in smokes–is not what’s at issue. Even excellent cigars, carefully shipped, need tender loving care.

When new cigars arrive, take a good look at them. (If you order by the box, this is especially easy to do–just grab one out of the box.) Two things to look out for at this point: excessive dryness; excessive moistness. If a cigar seems a little parched, or, on the other hand, a little moist, the solution for both situations is the same: make sure your humidor is set to its proper sixty-nine-to-seventy-four-degrees-with-seventy-percent-relative-humidity default, and let your new cigars settle for a week in the cigar humidor. That’s their home, after all.

Another thing to keep in mind: if you’re keeping your cigars in the humidor over a long period, it makes a lot of sense to rotate them every few months. Moisture doesn’t diffuse itself perfectly, and every humidor will have places where the dryness is greater than normal. Make sure no one cigar has to bear being in one of these “dead zones” for too long. Also, avoid packing them in too tightly–they need air–and try not to allow any big fluctuations in the humidity level of your cigar humidor.

All of these practices will help to avoid problems setting in with the filler tobacco, which is where the taste comes from, and with the binders and wrappers, which keep the cigar together. An ideally-rolled cigar is firm with a bit of give, too moist to taste parched when you smoke it but too dry to develop mold, and ready to burn evenly. Cigars that are well-taken-care-of will stay this way.

Mold. You don’t hear a lot about cigar mold, but it does happen–and unlike uneven burn or weak construction, it’s something that can happen to any cigar no matter how brilliantly-made, because it has much more to do with the way the cigar is stored and kept than with the way it’s originally put together. Let’s say you’ve bought a great sampler of discount premium cigars: some Camachos, some Macanudos, a Montecristo, an Alec Bradley Maxx, even a Gurkha or two. You’ve given proper thought to the selection of the cigars you smoke–but for whatever reason you didn’t exercise the same care in selecting a humidor, and now, when you open it up to find a good evening’s smoke, your favorite Cohiba (the pick of the litter!) has little whitish spots. (Cigar mold, like most forms of common household mold, tends to vary between white, off-white, blue, green, or some combination thereof in terms of its color.)

Here’s the first thing you do: take that moldy cigar and take it out of the humidor. It’s a bad influence now. Mold spreads quickly. Now, after verifying that none of your other smokes are moldy, find out how humid your humidor is. (If your humidor doesn’t come with its own hygrometer, one of these can be bought separately.) Any reading over seventy-five percent relative humidity is too much, and you need to dry out the humidor by adding a half-and-half mixture of Propylene Glycol plus water to the sponge that keeps the box humidified. Toss the bad cigar, and stow the other ones when your humidor reaches seventy-four percent humidity or lower. (On the other hand, don’t let that figure dip underneath sixty-seven percent, either.)

But now here’s the good news. Premium cigars have also been known to secrete a grayish, granulated substance that some cigar aficionados take for mold, but which is actually known as plume, and is totally harmless. It’s given off by the oils in the tobacco leaves. If the cigars in your sampler of fine discount premium cigars are developing plume, it actually means they’re aging well, and will give off a fine, tasty plume of smoke whenever you get around to smoking them.

A History of Cigar Store Indians
Hundreds of years ago, Native Americans introduced tobacco to Europeans. In doing so, Native Americans quickly became advocates of the tobacco industry. It became part of their society. Smoke shop owners used Cigar Store Indians to show people who couldn’t read where to buy cigars.

In the 1600s, Cigar Store Indians began to appear outside of European tobacco shops. Since European craftsmen had never seen a real-life American Indian, their representations were more fictional-looking than realistic. When the Cigar Store Indian made its way to America in the 1700s, they began to look more authentic.

Current Uses For Cigar Store Indians

Even now, you’ll sometimes see a Cigar Store Indian sitting outside of a cigar store. But these eye-catching statues are now used less as an advertisement for a tobacco shop, and more as ornaments that celebrate tobacco’s rich history. Though various people view these statues as a stereotype of American Indians, Cigar Store Indians represent a big part of the tobacco business. Some statues are happy and inviting, while others appear to be trying to scare away intruders or thieves. In any case, throughout the years, Cigar Store Indians have become synonymous with the tobacco industry.

Our Design and Manufacturing Process

While some Cigar Store Indians are made of cast iron, most are made of wood. We use the highest quality mahogany wood for our Cigar Store Indians. Our artisans use axes and mallets to shape the figure, and a chisel to add the finer points. Our artisans paint each statue by hand, so that even the finest details are perfect.

joe's jeans cigarette

American actress and singer. She starred in films such as Clueless, Girl, Interrupted, 8 Mile, Sin City and Riding in Cars with Boys, and performed vocals on a range of films and with dance musician Paul Oakenfold, together garnering a number one dance music hit in the United States in 2006.

Early life

Brittany Murphy was born in Atlanta, Georgia on November 10, 1977. Her parents, Sharon Murphy and Angelo Bertolotti, divorced when she was two years old, and Murphy was raised by her mother, in Edison, New Jersey, and later in Los Angeles, where they moved so Murphy could pursue an acting career. Murphy said her mother never tried to stifle her creativity, and she considered her mother a crucial factor in her later success: “When I asked my mom to move to California, she sold everything and move out here for me. … She always believed in me.” Murphy’s mother is of Irish and Eastern European descent and her father is Italian American. She was raised a Baptist and later became a non-denominational Christian.

Acting

Murphy landed her first job in Hollywood when she was age 14, starring as Brenda Drexell in the series Drexell’s Class. She then went on to play Molly Morgan in the short-lived The Torkelsons spinoff Almost Home. Murphy also guest-starred on several television series including Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, Blossom, and Frasier. She also had recurring roles on Sister, Sister; Party of Five; and Boy Meets World. In 1997, she began voicing the character of Luanne Platter (as well as the younger version of Joseph Gribble) on the long-running animated series King of the Hill.

Murphy starred in many successful films, including Clueless (1995); Girl, Interrupted (1999); Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999); Don’t Say a Word (2001); the TV adaption of the novel The Devil’s Arithmetic (2001); 8 Mile (2002) and Uptown Girls (2003) as well as many lesser-known films, such as Spun (2003). In 2004, she starred in the romantic comedy Little Black Book, and the critically acclaimed Sin City (2005). She starred in two Edward Burns films: Sidewalks of New York (2001) and The Groomsmen (2006). In 2009, she was cast in the Lifetime TV movie, Tribute, as the main character, Cilla. She was set to appear in the Sylvester Stallone film, The Expendables, which will be released in 2010.

Music

On June 6, 2006, Murphy and Paul Oakenfold released the single “Faster Kill Pussycat,” from the album A Lively Mind. The song became a club hit, and hit number one on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play chart. It also hit number seven in the UK singles chart in June 2006.

She dabbled in music again with the release of the film Happy Feet, in which she covered Queen’s “Somebody to Love” and Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Boogie Wonderland.”

Personal life

In late 2002, Murphy began dating Ashton Kutcher, her co-star in Just Married. Once engaged to talent manager Jeff Kwatinetz, Murphy became engaged to Joe Macaluso in December 2005, a production assistant she met while working on the film Little Black Book. In August 2006, they ended their engagement. In May 2007, Murphy married British screenwriter Simon Monjack in a private Jewish ceremony.

In 2005, Murphy signed as the spokesmodel for Jordache jeans. In 2006, Murphy was voted 36th in FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women List, and in May of the same year, Maxim named Murphy #49 on its annual Hot 100 List.

Death

At 8:00 a.m. (16:00 UTC) on December 20, 2009, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to “a medical request” at the Los Angeles home Murphy and Monjack shared. She apparently collapsed in a bathroom. Firefighters attempted to resuscitate Murphy on the scene, and she was subsequently transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival  at 10:04 a.m. after going into cardiac arrest. Cause of death is yet to be determined, but Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told the Associated Press: “It appears to be natural.” Full results will not be known until an autopsy is performed, and experts have looked into her medical records and toxicology reports.
