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!

It actually comes equipped with twenty Limited Edition 11/18 “Signature Blends” Camacho cigars – so you don’t have to spend extra time buying cigars for dad to fill it with.

Not only practical, this gift is sporty and stylish. Made of black leather with gold trim, the case insulated with isothermal neoprene to stabilize the temperature inside. With a removable inside, to allow the case to act as a sophisticated bag, this really is the gift that keeps on giving.
