- Cigar 101: Basic Tips for the Cigar Novice
Many of you, for different reasons, are having a love affair with cigars, rendezvousing in sidewalk cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants for a few joyful moments.

For whatever reason, the cigar is a luxury many of you choose to use. - Hungary? Grab a Glass

When I'm upset I turn to cheese. Maybe it's the taste, maybe it's the texture, maybe it's the 20 percent daily recommendation of calcium found in each serving, or maybe it's the fact I can't let go of my childhood dream to one day reside in a house made of cheddar. Whatever the reason, cheese is my comfort food of choice. I'm even pretty sure if Armageddon ever happens, I will be found inside a cave, wrapped in mozzarella. - The Cigar Years

Many people have a fear of flying. For me, the fear of being 30,000 feet up in the air, defying gravity and putting all of my trust in an occupation reputed to have problems with sobriety is a bit unsettling. But, even more, my hesitation to board a plane comes from an intense fear that I will be sitting in a window seat, with the two people between me and the aisle sleeping soundly, and I will have an uncontrollable urge to pee. In sum, I fear my flight will be uncomfortable. - Global Warming Attacking Wine Vineyards

I had a friend in college whose life's goal was to move to France, don a beret, stomp on grapes, and make wine for a living.

The height of the wooden Indian fad took place in the 1800's, with a carved statue standing outside nearly every tobacco shop in America.

Because of this, the beginning of the 1900's marked an end to this popular form of tobacco advertising. - Wine Openers: And the Cork Comes Off

As you embark on a wine tasting, you may require a variety of things: bottles of wine, a cork screw, wine glasses, a wine tasting kit, perhaps even an English accent. While this stuff may be essential, unless you know the hierarchy of the wines, they become useless. - Make Wine, Not War

Miami, Florida and Hollywood, California may be on other sides of the country, nearly as far away as two US cities can possibly be. Geographically opposite, when it comes to television these two cities are a little closer; there is a bit of Hollywood inside Miami. Many television shows are filmed in the former, but set in the latter. - The Wildlife of Florida
Many people who come to Florida for the wildlife probably come for one animal alone: a talking mouse. While this talking mouse is a fun attraction, and quite articulate for a rodent, Florida is also filled with many other types of equally-appealing species. These beasts might not have been invented by the genius of Disney, but the creatures of Florida definitely allow Mother Nature to give ol’ Walt a run for his money. - Cigar Dave: A Man Who Knows His Snuff
Cigar Dave is the host and creator of a nationally syndicated radio show called Smoke This. As unique as a fingerprint, this show is purely dedicated to cigars and the lifestyle surrounding them. Cigar Dave first began Smoke This in July of 1995 with a one hour stint on a radio station in Florida. Instantly becoming a hit, Smoke This expanded to two hours and was in national syndication a short five months later. - New Zealand Wines: The Two Best Bets
For New Zealand, two wines can be considered the “special:” Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. Putting many grapes in the baskets of these two wines, New Zealand relies on their excellence to keep the wine industry continually prospering. - The Wines of New Zealand
In the book of wine history, New Zealand hasn’t had much of a place, exiled to the small font of the index page. With diseases, poor quality grapes, and inexperienced farmers all serving as factors, New Zealand wines have been kicked out of liquor stores and booted out of bars. Nonetheless, these wines refused to stay out, sitting behind their vines and sulking; they decided to try again. - Ybor City: The History of Cigars in America
There are many places in the world that are seemingly built for cigars, places with factories and roads paved of tobacco, places where leaves blossom freely and cigars are always lit. One of these places is Ybor City. Known now as a hotspot for bars and nightclubs, Ybor City was once known as the Cigar Capital of the World. - Florida Facts and Trivia
Like all states and regions, Florida is rich with information, little unique tidbits that make it stand out from other areas. From having the only professional football team to ever maintain a perfect season to being the birthplace of Gatorade, Florida is filled with tiny grains of trivia, tiny grains sure to fill your shoes and get in that cookie you accidentally dropped on the beach. Refusing to let the peninsula be only thing that makes this country stand out the following are some fun and historical Florida facts. - Florida or Bust: Juan Ponce de Leon
Many of us discover Florida upon retirement, as we set out in our Lincolns and head towards the Atlantic Ocean. The first discovery of Florida, however, was not as simple. It involved more work, more tribulation, and less convenience: the first road to Florida had no IHOPs. Instead, it contained a man, a mission, and a ship. - Ratings? We Don’t Need No Drinkin’ Ratings
When it comes down to it, the 100 point scale has no place in the wine industry. It takes away the opportunity for people to experience wine for themselves, leaving them preoccupied with only drinking wines that are high ranking. This perpetuates the absurd notion that wine is a drink of seriousness: people who consume it must be intellectual, sophisticated, and, naturally, have British accents. In the end, the 100 point system deserves a zero. - Lights Out: When a Cigar Turns Bad
Most cigars are not faulty. But every now and then a bad one may pop up. Sometimes you may be able to spot them, other times you may realize they are flawed a puff too late. When this happens, the only solution is to get back up on the horse: find another cigar, and try again. - Greatest Super Bowl Commercials
For people who aren't sports fans, the Super Bowl isn't about winning or losing. It's not about which player is named MVP or which team hoists the Lombardi trophy overhead at the fourth quarter's end. It's not about which coach is submerged in a Gatorade bath. It's about one thing, and one thing only: the commercials. Without the commercials, the TV airing the Super Bowl may as well be turned off, or worse, turned to Lifetime. - The Top Five Super Bowls of All Time
Ah, the Super Bowl. A time for parties, pizza, great commercials, and, of course, wardrobe malfunctions. There’s nothing quite like the "Big Game" to make people stand up and cheer, cheer for their team, cheer for their friend’s team, and cheer for a great halftime show. This year’s Super Bowl, set to kick off on February 4, could be one of the best ever. Not only is it located in beautiful, sunny and “always a party” Miami, but it also features the recipe for an exceptional game. Take one great offensive team, add one great defensive team, mix with Gatorade and let sit for four quarters. The end result: priceless. - The Basics of Sake
Throughout history, there has been a legacy of delicious duos. Soup met crackers, peanut butter courted jelly, and ham was introduced to eggs. Recently, a new duo has joined the ranks of great culinary creations: sushi and sake. Move over wine and cheese, you’ve got competition. - Cigar Culture: Las Vegas
Few places on Earth epitomize the cigar smoker’s lifestyle quite like Las Vegas. With slot machines, cigar lounges, and all night clubs, this is one place where smoking, drinking, and the lure of money work together to reel in pursuers of pleasure and lovers of luxury. - Tasting, Wine, 2, 3, Tasting
Research has now discovered that people actually taste things differently. A notion to this degree not only has the capacity to revolutionize the food industry, but it also could change the wine industry, causing winemakers to think outside the box, or at least outside the bottle. - Cigar Smoking Comedians
Comedians and cigars have always gone hand-in-hand. From the early days of silent movies to the present day stage routine, if there is one bit of luxury made for comedic performers, it is cigars. That's, of course, not to say only comedians should smoke cigars. That notion, naturally, deserves the biggest laugh of all. - Wine Terms For the Scared
For whatever reason, wine has become a drink that some people fear. Some people are simply too scared to approach it, looking at a bottle the same way they used to look at the popular girl or boy they had a crush on in high school. No one is really sure when wine got this reputation, but it did: wine is the most intimidating of alcohol. - Say Cheese: Picturing the Perfect Wine Combo
When you really get to the nitty gritty, wine and cheese, like anything that involves eating or drinking, all comes down to individual taste. - Cigar Wrappers: Judging a Cigar by its Cover
Like anything subjective, the amount of flavor a wrapper adds to a cigar is not without controversy. Some cigar experts argue that the wrapper greatly affects the flavor, while others believe that it makes up for less than 20 percent of the overall taste. - Miami's Lesson-Let the Super Bowl be Played Anywhere
When it comes down to it, this year's Super Bowl in Miami can be a turning point in professional football: it taught us that two teams can play a championship game in bad weather and the better team will still win. - Famous People from Miami
If you really researched it, chances are you could find someone famous who was born where you were. George Clooney, for example, was born in Lexington, Tim Allen was born in Denver, Whitney Houston was born in East Orange, and Claire Danes was born in a little known town called New York City. Odds are nearly every place in America has someone famous from there. To this notion, Miami is no exception. - Chewgars-Cigars For Those With Fur
Chewgars are made of rawhide and shaped like cigars, intended for only the most sophisticated and luxury loving animals. - Flying For Business Trips-What to Do When You're On Air
Those of you who travel for business probably find yourselves on an airplane almost as frequently as a flight attendant. You may prefer to use this "air time" as a chance to prepare for upcoming meetings, sales pitches, and conferences; you may figure that the tray table on the seat in front of you was invented more for your lap top than a bag of peanuts. Yes, it may seem like an airplane is the ideal working environment, but what do you do when it's not? - Best Business Movies
Movies entertain us. Movies captivate us. Movies appeal to us. But, most of all, movies inspire us. Rocky inspired us to fight for our dreams (and to take the stairs instead of the elevator). Glory inspired us to fight for what's right. The Diary of Anne Frank inspired us to fight for humanity. ET inspired us to believe beyond what we can see. And, Shawshank Redemption, of course, inspired us to escape from prison. - Little Havana: Secrets of Miami
Miami has many attractions. The beach. The sun. The restaurants. The night life. The Miami Dolphins, er, I mean, the night life. Most of these are well known and sought-after, as spring breakers and crazy vacation takers annually venture to the Magic City for one of the best times they’ll never remember. But to those who want something more than a frozen strawberry margarita or a bucket of beer, Miami is the right place to go: it’s booming with extreme culture, filled with tiny pieces that make it largely unique and like no other American city. - Movies Miami Style: Films Set in the Magic City
Miami might not be like Los Angeles or New York, cities where movies are continuously being shot around every corner. But, Miami has certainly had its fair share of filming. Maybe it was chosen because of the movie’s plot and maybe it was chosen because of its location (it hard to shoot a beach scene in Nebraska). Whatever the reason, Miami’s presence in the cinema has left other Florida cities to approach, and shyly ask for an autograph. - Putting Chocolate on the Sustainable Table
As Valentine's Day looms overhead, with sweethearts in love nestled up against each other and single people flipping off Cupid, one can not help but think of the presents this day typically brings. Flowers, stuffed teddy bears, heart shaped candy, and cards may all fill the carts of Valentines Day shoppers, but nothing is quite as popular as chocolate. Diamonds may be forever, but chocolate will hold you over in the meantime. - Sugar on Top: the Basics of Dessert Wines
Most people will agree that wine and dessert go well together, holding hands as they skip into the sunset of your mouth. Just the very image of a glass of wine next to a plate of tiramasu is enough to make most people salivate, drooling like a person about to fall in love at first bite. It seems simple enough: a glass of wine, a plate of sweets, a taste bud or fifty, but wining and dining in this manner needs more than a twinkie and a bottle of sugary liquid; it requires proper pairing of food and wine for the ultimate experience. It also requires a knowledge of what the term "dessert wines" truly entails. - Why You Lose Customers
When I first started this article, I asked several people what kind of experiences they had had with poor customer service. Some of their experiences were extreme – with one instance where a photographer punched an unsatisfied customer – but most relayed occurrences consistent with my own. I narrowed it down to three behaviors of customer disservice. When these behaviors are continually maintained, the ability to drive people away will surely be in the bag. - Small Companies: Surviving When Someone Quits
It seems that small companies involve far less politics, far less gossip, and many more bottles of wine in the conference room. They, when it comes down to it, are just more fun, more intimate, and more rewarding to work for. But, they do have an Achilles heel: when someone quits a small company, a large percentage of the work force is lost. - Cigar History: Fidel Castro
Many cigar lovers who form their roots in the United States view Fidel Castro as an enemy. He is, after all, partly to blame for Cuban cigars being banned from the US quicker than a classic novel. But his influence is not limited to Cuban cigars, it transcends cigar types: many Cuban citizens came to America to flee Castro’s reign. In one way or another, he took some cigars away from the US and gave some back. In the end, it is hard to think about cigars without visions of Castro dancing in our heads. - Eating Crow Tastes Like Chicken
Wrong. Webster’s dictionary defines wrong as “the state of being mistaken or incorrect.” I can admit when I am wrong. I was wrong when I bet my younger sister that she could jump down an entire flight of stairs without breaking her ankle. I was wrong when I told my dad that there was no way the Denver Broncos were going to lose Super Bowl XXIV to the San Francisco 49ers. And, I was wrong when I wrote that wine was in a different league than beer. - The Art of Small Talk
Small talk might seem like something that carries little weight, seeming as though it is called small for a reason. However, small talk can open the doorway to all kinds of conversations. It can lead to finding commonalities, discovering similar likes or dislikes, and finding the universal ground of laughter. It can also help you be remembered by those you want to impress. On a business trip, the need to shoot the breeze may come up more that you think; you don’t want to be left winded. - How to Be Comfortable at a Business Trip Meeting
Ah, the business trip meeting. The stale coffee. The room full of strangers. The overwhelming smell of hotel lotion on your shirt collar. A business trip meeting may seem a lot like a flat mattress, no matter how much you toss and turn, you just can’t get comfortable. Still, business trip meetings aren’t an end all be all to comfort, there is a way to make them feel more like a productive session and less like a root canal. You simply need to keep yourself competent, confident, and poised with the ability to transition smoothly. - Miami's People: Dwyane Wade
It's hard to be a sports fan of any kind without having a favorite player. Typically, this favorite player is one of the stars, a person who shines brighter than most others. For Miami Heat fans, a favorite player is Dwyane Wade. A man who entered the NBA with little expectations, Wade has turned into one of the greatest players in the game. Lighting a spark under the Miami Heat, he is one of the reasons they get hot. - Becoming Fluent in Body Language
What we say may seem like the guts of communication; it seems like conveying how we feel and what we want is all about word choice. It may seem like this, but it's not. Sure, words are part of it - giving the phrase "Choose your words wisely" credence - but they only influence seven percent of our overall communication. The tone and infliction of our voice make up another 38 percent, but the majority of communication (55 percent) comes from body language. We say more by not speaking at all.
