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.

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. - Wine Tasting Kits and Caboodles
Wine tasting kits are a great way to experiment with a variety of types of wine, giving you the opportunity to find a vintage that appeases all your senses. - Wine Openers: And the Cork Comes Off
A bottle of wine isn't designed for easy access. Instead, it's designed to keep the wine inside fresh, protected from air. Because of this, those of us who love wine are also forced to love wine openers. - Wine Lore: Folklore That's Had a Few
Folklore is a part of our daily lives. From legends, tales, customs and traditions, Folklore has shaped the history of all sort of thingsincluding wine. - Wine Fraud - What's in Your Bottle?
Wine fraud, by definition, is a type of fraud where customers are sold wine illegally. Like a grape known for being seedy or a vineyard known for being shady, wine fraud has the potential to spoil the wine lover's spirit. This wine is sometimes filled with chemicals that can cause sickness or it is cheap wine sold for prices much higher than it's worth. While it may seem that wine fraud is limited to wines sold in back alleys, or out of the trunks of beaten down cars, many cases of wine fraud are sold by seemingly legit vendors. You may have been a victim of wine fraud and never even realized it. - Wine Cork Recycling
Wine corks are among the most enviromentally friendly of corks. This makes recycling them easy, and effective, giving people another excuse to drink away. - Wine Clubs: No Beers Allowed
Bottle of White, Bottle of Red - Wine and Weddings
Wedding receptions and alcohol often take each other's hand in marriage, forming a union that no one can break. However, this can be costly for whoever is paying for the wedding. Using wine to replace hard alcohol, nonetheless, can save a great amount of money. - 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. - White Wine's Influence on the Lungs
We always knew red wine was good for you, but here comes white climbing a health filled ladder. While red wine is known for being good for the heart, white has recently been found to greatly aid the function of the lungs. - What to Say in a Resume
I eventually got a job as a recruiter for an employment placement agency. It was here that I learned the importance of a resume. I would soon learn that resumes weren't only important in getting a job, but they were also important once you had a job. To get promotions, win proposals, and bid on projects, your resume is an important vehicle on the highway of your career. Thus, it is essential to do them right. - What to Do with Leftover Wine

These days, there seems to be a Guinness World Record for just about everything. From how many hot dogs a person can eat in one sitting to the largest kidney stone ever recorded, records are not only made to be broken, but they are made to be remembered. Transportation, jumping on the Guinness bandwagon, also has its fair share of world class anomalies. - TMJ Disorders
A TMJ Disorder is a disorder that affects the jaw, a joint that it is not easy to rest. This article provides an overview of TMJ Disorders. - 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. - The Wine of Israel and Wine in Biblical Times
Israel is not a country known specifically for wine. However, over the past few decades the citizens of Israel have been hard at work, hoping to make their wine the taste of a nation. - 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. - The White House Cigars
Cigars have always been a part of Presidential traditions. From smoking in the Green Room to showing friendship among fellow men, cigars have been there closing the gap between world leaders. - The Unique Wines of Oregon
Oregon is known as being one of the most beautiful places in the United States, but did you know they also are known for making some of the most beautiful wine? - The TV Shows of Miami
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 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 Sidekicks of Cigars
When it comes to heroes, sidekicks are often overlooked. Goose was killed off halfway through Top Gun, Virgil stayed in Purgatory while Dante got to go to Paradise, and Batman, throughout the series, got all the glory, leaving Robin to wonder why the heck he was wearing tights. This sidekick phenomenon is true in so many areas, including cigars: Christopher Columbus is generally credited with being the man who introduced the world to the concept of smoking, but it was actually two of his men - two of his sidekicks - who may have really been some of the first to put cigars in their mouths and on the map. - The Roots of Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga was introduced by a man named Yogi Swatmarama, a yoga sage in 15th and 16th century India. Known for calmness and peacefulness, Yogi Swatmarama is a name that has now become synonymous with delight, one who paved the way for an exercise that enhances the mind, body and spirit. - The Present Day Presidential Limousine
Sometimes I wonder how US Presidents used to get around. Before the invention of the limousine, the private jet, or even the car, what exactly set the President's mode of transportation apart from the mode of the regular citizen? Did George Washington and John Adams ride on a fully armored horse, complete, of course, with tinted windows? Did Thomas Jefferson and James Madison ride in a carriage as secret service agents ran beside, ready to receive any urgent telegrams warning them of trouble up ahead? However, the Presidents used to get from place to place, the present Presidents travel in one major mode: a Presidential Limousine. - The Origins of the Cigar Store Indian
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. However, in a sad parallel to Native American history, the wooden Indian was often mistreated, damaged by passer-bys. Because of this, the beginning of the 1900's marked an end to this popular form of tobacco advertising. - The Miami Tango Fantasy Festival 2007
There are few things as sexy as the Tango, and certainly no dance steps that match its appeal. From Al Pacino performing the Tango in A Scent of a Woman, to Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider in Last Tango in Paris, people everywhere see the tango performed and think to themselves, "Dang, I need to learn how to do that." For those who live near Miami, or are visiting, you're about to get your chance. - The History of the Presidential Limousine
The Presidential Limousine may seem like a recent invention, something that came about within the past few Presidential terms. This, however, is a misconception. Officially, the first President to ride in what has become known as the Presidential Limousine was Woodrow Wilson. Taking the streets during a parade celebrating the US victory in World War I, he was honoring the end of the war and, unknowingly, starting the beginning of a transportation tradition. - The History of the Mattress
Our parents have always told us how bad they had it when they were kids. With no video games, no Internet, and the constant battle of walking uphill both ways, it's amazing they had enough energy to bear children. - The Gamble Rogers Festival
For those of you who are planning on attending the 12th Annual Gamble Rogers Folk Festival in St. Augustine, Florida on May 4, 5, and 6 of this year, you may know that this festival showcases a variety of musical talent, ranging from Michael Smith, to The Burns Sisters Band, from Amy Carol Webb, to The Cook Trio. You may also know that this festival offers performances by local musicians, contests, arts and crafts, and discounted local accommodations. What you might not know, however, is the story behind Gamble Rogers. Its not only a tale of talent and tragedy, but also of uncompromised heroism. - The Dominican Republic: Cigar Country
The Dominican Republic, fittingly discovered by Mr. Cigar himself, Christopher Columbus, is the largest producer of cigars in the entire world, making it known as "Cigar Country" and leaving stogie lovers everywhere to search for their passports, book their flights, and come to a place that captures the true culture and essence of tobacco. - The Cigar Years
It's an inevitability of life: age happens. We all come into this world fresh and new, only to leave old, used, and sporting a ceramic hip. With all the uncertainties of life, one thing is for sure: we are all growing old. - The Calories in Wine
Ah calorieswe can't live with em and we can't live without em. Wine, like most things good, comes with calories. Taking the amount in each glass into consideration can help you to keep unwanted pounds from sneaking up. - 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. - The Basics of Migraines
Migraines can be severely painful, bordering on debilitating. Though some people get them for no known reason, others can help prevent migraines by discovering what triggers them. - The Basics of Headaches
Headaches can be a pain - in the head, and in the neck. This article discusses the basics of headaches, their causes, treatment, and prevention. - The Basics of Cooking with Wine
Cooking can get old, standing over a pot and waiting for it to boil. But, cooking with wine often adds some zest and flavor to the monotony of just regular old cooking, whether you actually put wine into the meal or just put it down your throat. - 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. - Tension Headaches: The Most Common of Headaches
Tension headaches are the most common type of headaches. Though they are not always preventable, this article discusses their causes, and treatments. - Ten Small Things That Can Add Big Years to Your Life
People have a will to survive, a desire to live a long and meaningful life. While there are certain things we can't control, there are many that we can. From little things like wearing a seatbelt to eating a piece of fruit, many of us have the keys to our own survival in our hands. And, most of the time, engaging in a few of these life preserving acts is sure to keep us afloat for a little bit longer than usual. - 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. - Suspicious Celebrity Deaths
The jury, or rather the autopsy, is still out on exactly how Anna Nicole died. All we really know is that she died young and, it doesn't matter who you are, that's a tragedy. Anna's death could be the result of any number of things. Though foul play is not suspected, her death is suspicious and that's enough to make the ears of our culture perk up: not only are we obsessed with celebrities, but we become even more obsessed when they are involved in a suspicious death, their own or someone else's. - 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. - Spotting a Fake Cuban
Fake things are everywhere, including fake cigars. This article discusses how to make sure you're buying a real Cuban, instead of a cigar from Oklahoma. - 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. - Serving With Wine Glasses: What's Behind Glass Number 1
Wine glasses come in all sorts of varieties and, unlike many other containers, they can make or break the wine drinking experience. Because of this, it's important to know what wine to put in which glass, making you, as a wine expert, seem unbreakable. - Serving Wine at Holiday Parties

Rotator Cuff injuries can be fairly common, particularly in athletes. This article discusses the treatment, causes, and prevention of them. - Riedel Wineglasses: The Science Inside
We've all heard that wineglasses can change the flavor of wine. This article discusses the science behind this seemingly magical occurrence. - 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. - 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. - Overcoming Jet Lag
Frequent fliers - those who take to the sky either for business, pleasure, or a little of both – may notice that the discomfort air travel can bring doesn’t always end when the plane reaches the tarmac. Lurking in the crevices of the overhead compartment, or maybe on your tray table, it pops out the second you reach your destination. Leaving you tired, irritable, and generally feeling “out of it,” jet lag can ruin a plane ride quicker than the airline food. - 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. - 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. - More Comfortable Hospital Stays
"A Comfortable Hospital Stay" may seem like an oxymoronic title: no one can truly be comfortable in a place where pans are used as toilets. But, for most of us, hospital stays are unavoidable. From the appendix that erupted to the birth of a child, chances are people will find themselves in the hospital at some point in their lives. While sometimes these stays aren't planned, many instances involve knowing ahead of time. - 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. - 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. - Making Port Wine
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. Though I tried to tell her that there was more to wine-making than purple feet, and that berets were so "Clinton Administration," she ignored me and dreamt of grapes anyway. - Make Wine, Not War
Homemade wine may seem like a crazy concept, as if it came about after a bad acid trip by Betty Crocker. But, it's really not that crazy at all. In fact, winemaking in the home is an old tradition. - 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. - 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. - Is This Seat Taken - Getting Upgraded To First Class
Some people think that first class is the only way to fly - they equate sitting in coach with sitting on a cargo plane, watching as a goat gnaws on the handle of someone’s luggage. But, for those who travel for business, first class might not be something for which your company is willing to splurge. When this happens, you’re on your own to get an upgrade. - Hungary? Grab a Glass
When I think of Hungary, I don't think of wine. I think of architecture, goulash, folklore, and a country that isn't very good at picking sides when it comes....... - How to Get Your Boss to See Your Way
The onslaught of people who have recently started their own businesses attest to one thing: people like to be their own boss. This way, if they dislike the person they work for, they can actually do something about it. But, for the rest of us, those of us who are not entrepreneurs or trailblazers of a company, a boss just comes with the territory: having a boss in an office is as essential as having a cubicle. - How to Fly in Comfort
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. - How to End an Argument
Arguing is part of life. Whenever people with different personalities or opinions are forced to cooperate, an argument can easily ignite. People argue everywhere: in the home, at the airport, during classes, and, of course, in the work place. - How to be Comfortable on a First Date
You're never too old for a first date. From young 'uns meeting in city bars, to the older folks swooning each other at bingo halls, - How to Be Comfortable in the Dentist's Chair
There is something about going to the dentist that instills the deepest of fears within people. - 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.

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. - Honduras Cigars: Spreading the Seed
The cigars from Honduras have worked to make a name for themselves, becoming a cigar that connoisseurs routinely seek to take out for a smoke. With the fertility of the land, the natural resources, and the knowledge passed down from generation to generation, tobacco makers in Honduras have been able to perfect the growing of home grown seeds, delivering some cigars that are 100 percent Honduran. - Hanson - Where Are They Now?
I will admit it: I have "MMMBop" on my Ipod. Now, it's not like I absolutely worship Hanson - I don't have their poster on my bedroom wall or, at least, I don't anymore - it's just that I kind of like their music. Love 'em, hate 'em, or make voodoo dolls of 'em in your spare time, it's hard to deny that this trio can carry a tune. But, since the craze of "MMMBop" has ended, where exactly have they been carrying one? - 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. - Global Warming Attacking Wine Vineyards
Global Warming is something we all hear about. We hear mention of it on the news, we see protests regarding it on college campuses, and we receive messages about it in our email in-boxes. But, most of us don't really understand what it is, or we choose to ignore it. - Giving the Gift of Wine
Because there are a variety of ways wine can be given, it is simply one of the easiest gifts to give and an even easier one to receive. When giving wine, there's no need to keep the receipt. - Giving the Gift of Cigars
With the onset of the season we are given the opportunity to reinvent the true spirit of the holidays; we are given the ability to give a gift that says something grander than simply, "I have a huge limit on my credit card." One way we can do this is by giving the gift of cigars. - Getting Reimbursed for Business Expenses
Business traveling, even with all of its hustle, bustle, and flat hotel pillows, it does have one perk: your company pays for it. Whether they reimburse you for cars from rental agencies or for the miles you put on your own vehicle, one thing stands between you and your financial compensation: tangible proof of what you've spent. - Freshman Drinking: Handling Yourself Around a Handle
Ah college. A time to learn about life, about school, and about alcohol. No matter how many parents deny it, with college comes drinking, sometimes too much. This article discusses how to handle oneself around college drinking. It explains college, in a keg shell. - 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? - 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. - 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. - Five Keys Toward Detoxifying Your Body
Some of us may be harboring toxins and not even know it. That's why detoxifying yourself is a good idea. It can improve health and happiness. - 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. - Famous Female Cigar Smokers
We’ve all heard the saying, "It's a man's world." While this may be true for some areas - professional football, construction sites, Y chromosomes - it's certainly not true for everything; sometimes you have to look a little close to discover the girl inside the hobby. - Exercising in Comfort
You don't have to be one of the three little pigs to be scared off by the huffing and puffing of exercise. - Ernest Gallo - Raising Our Glasses In A Tribute
His legend, unbeatable. His reputation, peerless. His name, household. His gift, wine. Ernest Gallo, the man behind so many bottles and vines, passed away on March 6, 2007. Living to a ripe old age, he was only a few weeks shy of his 98th birthday. - 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. - Drinking and Driving - The Laws in Other Countries
Unfortunately, those who drink and drive often go unpunished: they simply don't get pulled over or noticed by law enforcement. But, those who do get pulled over, who cause an accident, or who are involved in any kind of automobile incident, often get noticed in hand cuffs. - Defensive Driving - Getting Behind The Wheel With Caution
Defensive driving is a key component to driving safely. While you don't want to be so defensive that you fail to be offensive, and become one of the poor drivers you fear, defensive driving and offensive driving go hand in hand. The best offense is a good defense, even when automobile safety is concerned. - Comfort Foods: Nutrients to Lean On
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. - Climbing the Liquor Ladder: Going from Beer to Wine
Almost everyone remembers their first drink of alcohol. I remember mine like it was yesterday - Claus Riedel: The Man Behind the Glass
The Riedel tale of glassmaking, with pivotal chapters authored by Claus, began in 1678 in north Bohemia, a historical region of the western Czech Republic. - Cigars Versus Cigarettes - A Tobacco Showdown
To the cigar lover, the items that get burned are cigarettes: cigars lovers believe that their cigars are just better. True cigar lovers typically look at cigarettes with a sense of disdain. To them, a lover of tobacco who smokes a cigarette is like a lover of fine food eating things made in an Easy Bake Oven.
