Family fun with Cuban cigars

by Trevor Wallace

I’ve always been around Cuban cigars as far as I can remember. So for me to continue the tradition was simply common sense. I guess you can say it was a reflex action. I consider my self very unfortunate that I had the blessing of growing up in a family that had the privilege of Smoking Cuban cigars. Enjoying Cuban cigars is just part of who I am and now that I think about it, I’m going to be passing this on to the next member of my family. Boy or girl, one thing is for sure, they are definitely becoming Cuban cigar smokers.

It all started when I was 14 years old playing with my cousins. I noticed my dad and my grandpa would get together every Friday and have a pipe like thing in their mouth with smoke coming out of it. They would often have very long conversations that would range in emotions but mostly seemed like good times. That somewhat decent size pipes in their mouth later turned out to be Cuban cigars.

Cuban cigars are something that is absolutely necessary to make good times even better. I say get your family and friends around, give them each a Cuban cigar and watch the crazy party start. The great thing about Cuban cigars is that it automatically leads into some great conversations. One of my favorite all time Cuban cigar is the Cohiba and boy when we break this brand out, everyone seems to love it.

However, Cuban cigar smoking wasn’t something I observed just between my dad and grandpa. It was something that all the boys did in our family including a few occasional puffs by the women every now and than. Every Tuesday’s and Thursdays Uncle Johnny and Sean will drop by with their family and kids and they would run off to the living room with glasses of Scotch. Soon they would be all siting around in wooden chairs with some light music playing in the background going on and and about their days.

I remember each of them had their own favorite brand. If they shared the brand, they definitely liked a different model more than the other. Like Uncle Eric and Uncle Sam loved the Cohiba brand, but they both had a different model that they favored. Uncle Eric liked the Cohiba Siglo 6 while Uncle Same loved the Cohiba Robusto. It’s amazing how none of the family members agreed on one particular brand model.
