I’ve always been around Cuban cigars as far as I can remember. So for me to continue the tradition was simply common sense. I guess you can say it was a reflex action. I consider my self very unfortunate that I had the blessing of growing up in a family that had the privilege of Smoking Cuban cigars. Enjoying Cuban cigars is just part of who I am and now that I think about it, I’m going to be passing this on to the next member of my family. Boy or girl, one thing is for sure, they are definitely becoming Cuban cigar smokers.
It all started when I was 14 years old playing with my cousins. I noticed my dad and my grandpa would get together every Friday and have a pipe like thing in their mouth with smoke coming out of it. They would often have very long conversations that would range in emotions but mostly seemed like good times. That somewhat decent size pipes in their mouth later turned out to be Cuban cigars.
Yes one thing is undeniable about Cuban cigars is the smell. The mixtures of chocolate, pepper and vanilla can pierce through anyone’s heart and soul. You have to understand I was just a kid back than plus watching my whole family get together over a few Cuban cigars just made it extra special. I guess you can say it was a very fine excuse for everyone to come together and have a great time.
You see it was everybody who did it. By did it I mean smoke Cuban cigars. It wasn’t something just for my father or grand father, all my uncles and their kids they all got together and had a merry old time. I guess that is what Cuban cigars do, they bring everyone together and you simply puff and chat. I believe their is a song based on Cuban cigars called ‘Puff n chat’ but we’ll get into that some other time. The point is when you have Cuban cigars and family around, it’s good times baby.
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.
