Thank you. It’s a nice change to see and hear a bit about who you are. First let me say I haven’t encountered any women that on their own regularly enjoy fine cigars, so bump into you is especially nice treat. Kind of like the surprisingly sweet after taste I find in the last third of a Cuban Monte #2. Nobody during my childhood smoked cigars, however some smoked cigarettes. That made easier to try them in my late teens, but I quit after a few years because there wasn’t any real taste enjoyment. Smoking a cigarette always brought to mind pouring an ashtray in my mouth. As for me, for some odd reason the Hungarian women in my family felt it important for me to learning how to cook at a young age. They started me around eight years old and I became rather proficient by my late teens; eventually becoming the feel cook I am today. I love it when the meshing of flavors explodes on my palate, thrilling me with what I refer to as a “morish” taste… in other words, I want more now! Good food, wine, and single malts have driven my taste buds, and still do so. Take for instance a water cracker topped with slightly melted triple cream brie and a bit of goose pate with truffles, followed closely by a sip of single malt or a powerful red… my taste buds are in heaven. That brings me to approximately eight years ago when a friend suggested I try a cigar with my single malt. A bit apprehensive I said nothing ventured, nothing gained and agreed. Thankfully he enjoyed fine cigars. The odd part about that one special cigar is I don’t recall what it was. But, since then like many cigar smokers I’ve graduated up the ranks to enjoy what I believe to be some of the finest cigars in the world. That one cigar brought years of new flavor profiles to my taste buds. For the last twenty years my biggest passion is being an avid golfer. Playing great golf brings me insurmountable joy, challenge and at times frustration. Like the mixture of pate, brie and single malt, or single malt and a fine cigar; a fine cigar during golf influences my experience. It not only helps me to relax it’s another double my pleasure experience. During a round of 18 I typically enjoy two cigars; then maybe one in the evening on the patio, and or with friends if the situation presents itself. Whether referred to as a causal cigar smoker or not, the best moments in my life and taste buds have been heightened when I limit my enjoyment. It’s all about invigorating moments in life. The more I know about what goes into those moments, the greater my joy and passion; like you said. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you. It’s a nice change to see and hear a bit about who you are.

This is a great video. I am glad to know more about you and your upbringing. We have one more thing in common other than a passion for cigars. My mother and father would always respond to my and my brother's questions with "look it up!" This was way before the computer age and books were our only research tools. We had three sets of encyclopedias at home. One set was from 1906, and both grandmothers gave us a set each. Our teachers would give us assignments that required visits to the library. In this manner I developed a thirst and a passion for knowledge. I still maintain a library because I enjoy that connection that evolves between the writer and the reader. Carl Gustav Jung, the famous psychiatrist recommended giving one's self research projects in order to keep the mind sharp and to avoid states of depression. All of this love for knowledge came into play when I was introduced to smoking fine cigars. The study of cigars and their history is now an ongoing endeavor. This fits in with my other project which is a study of symbols and their variety of meanings across cultures. Cigars and smoke are not outside the realm of symbolic meaning. I thank you for being encouraged to share more of your Self with us and I look forward to knowing more about my other brothers and sisters of the leaf as well as sharing more of my life experience. Greetings, Teresa!

Your visit to the Dominican Republic sounds absolutely incredible, and I value your bias because of your experience! The meaning makes the experience. I imagine all of your senses can recall everything from that trip each time you smoke a Dominican cigar, too. You said it well, we must remember "why we do what we do". @dickchu Thank you, Rich. I'm delighted you enjoyed what I had to say. Have a wonderful Sunday as well, there is much to look forward to.

A true glimpse into a side that many blog and website members never have the chance to see of the hosts of those sites. You will forever be able to indulge in your favorite things in life, all while provoking some of your fondest memories of relatives. An excellent video, and very informative story. As for myself, I was merely an occasional cigar smoker, until my trip to the Dominican Republic early last year. It was not only the beauty of the beaches and landscapes, but the livelihood that encompassed our hobby, cigars. Exploring the markets, the drying tobacco leaves, watching the locals roll beautiful Dominican handmade cigars and the smell of saltwater in the air truly got me hooked. I will forever have a Dominican bias, but perhaps more important, I will always remember why we do what we do. -Brian Teresa,
