Macanudo Cafe Port

Author: sebastian | Filed under: Captain's Cigar Deal of the Week

Ahoy there, maties! Sorry for the delay between posts – I’ve been out having adventures. The seas here in South Florida have been mighty rough and the skies have been stormin’. So after barely avoiding another fatal run-in with mother nature, I decided to lay low for a bit – let the sea  get her frustrations out on somebody else for a change.

Well, needless to say, I quickly bored of sitting at home watching re-runs o’ Lost. So, I got off my keister and went explorin’. I found a great store in South Beach that rents segways, and spent the rest of the afternoon zooming up and down the boardwalk, people-watching and making new friends all the way. It really reminded me of a few days I spent on the port of Tel Aviv, while I was cruising the Mediterranean. Those were the days. Actually, it reminded me of the days I spent at any port I ever had the luck to visit. Ports feel like home to me.

Feeling homesick for my days on the open ocean, I trudged down to the water, and on my way there stopped in a little cigar shop. This hole in the wall did not have much variety, but one specific cigar really caught my eye, with the mood I was in. The Macanudo Café Port, espected for its diligent work, the Macanudo brand  from the General Cigar Corporation, has yet to let us down. Their newest release, this 4 ½ X 60 cigar, eloquently captures the essence of a good, sweet cigar in a sweetly small size. Like the original Macanudo Cafes, they are grown and crafted solely in the Dominican Republic, with the best Connecticut shade wrapper, Dominican fillers, and a delicious binder from the St. Andreas Tuxtla Valley of Mexico. The aromatic smoke completely distracted me from my despondency. I bought a box and enjoyed it with the salt water spraying my face and a soft ocean breeze blowing against my skin. Though stuck on land, this cigar let me have a little piece of home.

Be sure to take advantage of this week’s cigar deal while supplies last!
