Puff and Blow Those Blues Away
faith| July 6, 2008 3:06 amSmoking is bad for your health. There is no question to that. But so are many other things in life. Alcohol is even worse — it can bring you to rehab. Medicine can be bad too — it damages your liver and one type almost killed my mom and cost us more than an arm and a leg. Eating can be bad if overdone. Sports can cause injury or ruin your knees or elbows. The sun can even cause cancer. Yet, smoking has been discriminated and picked on like the ebola virus.
You know what else is considered the leading cause of disease and death? Stress and depression. I mentioned this because it is stress and loneliness that smokers mostly try to remedy. I’m not trying to make excuses because I used to smoke. When I analyzed what led me to it, I realized it was my inability to accept that I had problems and that I was a sad person. Smoking takes care of boredom and it helps people to relax. Whatever other people say, it helped me to cope.
Then again, some people say that processed cigarettes are more dangerous because they are not natural. So, is it better to smoke cigars? Some say yes, others say no because of the stronger nicotine levels. If cigar is better, why not? It will do what cigarettes do best — take away stress and avoid depression. A cigar is substantially more expensive than cigarettes. Cigar lovers claim that the flavor is worth the price. They also come in different varieties depending mostly on where they were harvested from. Cuban cigars are considered the best in the world. They are a symbol of opulence and extravagance.
Famous-smoke.com offers cigars online at very competitive prices. Their inventory consists of all major cigar brand, including the best Cuban Cohiba and Macanudo cigars. Aside from big discounts, they also offer the special Create-a-Sampler promo where you get to choose the cigars that you want with big savings. Moreover, their website offers special deals and other features such as an auction, monster deals on specific brands, and other freebies that come with buying a box of some brands of cigars. If you are a newbie, you can also click on the cigar advisor for some Q&A.
If you are an aficionado, you understand why famous-smoke.com is a blessing to so many cigar smokers out there. I haven’t tried one for fear that I might like them too much. Anyway, I will end this post with a trivia for everyone. Did you know that the most expensive cigar in the world cost $18,860 per box for 40 cigars? That is $440 per tobacco if you do the math. These are the “Behike” which are Cuban Cohiba cigars. There are only 4,000 pieces in existence and was made by El Laguito in Havana. However, no one knows if it is the best because no one has dared lit one yet because of the limited supply. Well, every type of collector is weird. Keeping it away may increase the value anyway and make it an investment.

Summer is the season of great movies and blockbusters. This year we’ve got quite a variety of films that have tried to get the top spot. The Fourth of July weekend saw the much-awaited movie from Will Smith, Hancock. As expected it steals the top rank with $24 million in box office gross.
Belated happy birthday to the country that has spurned democracy worldwide. Better late than never. Fireworks exploded in the East River at New York City as the Big Apple celebrated Independence Day Yesterday. Thousands crane their neck to watch the fireworks despite the slight drizzle of rain.
Will Smith’s kids were not used to daddy being mean in his new movie “Hancock.” In Hancock, Will swears, drinks, mouths off, and goes to prison. Will’s role is a hero-gone-bad and it could be unnerving for fans. However, Jada and his kids realize that it’s only a character and understand the whole concept. Jaden, his first son from Jada, already played opposite his dad in The Pursuit of Happyness while the youngest, Willow, can be seen in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl.
