Welcome to Miami

It’s time to check into one of the hotels Miami has to offer and then hit the town. This is a multicultural melting pot to the tenth power. And you can see it all at South Beach. South Beach is the vacation spot for even the locals of Florida. Maybe that is a tip for the rest of the US tourists or other world travelers to take from the state of Florida.  Looks like South Beach is a must see. Of course most of Florida is like different degrees of summer all the time, so you really can come for a visit just about any time.

Most people come to Florida to get away from the cold winters they endure where ever they come from. However, if you can make it to South Beach Florida between May and August then you will avoid the big tourist crowds. This is a great time to get the good rates on hospitality and a sure in to any restaurant in town. The worst time to go for most travelers looking for some down time is between March and April. This is when the colleges from all over take there Spring Break and the students pack onto the beaches and streets of this crazy town.

While you visit South Beach in Miami, the beach is not the only main attraction. You can head over to Lincoln Road and watch the people go by. Much of this street is closed for vehicle traffic so it is all happening on foot. There are so many shops, galleries and museums to wander through. Visitors can also find a fantastic restaurant with out door seating to enjoy the unique crown of people going by. You never know what you will see. Once again, the restaurant cuisines reflect the cultural influences of the many immigrants who have created this city. You can find Italian, Cuban and New World restaurants.

Cheroot by the fire

Well these days home owners may get a vent free gas fireplace in stalled but they may need a vent for their Cigar or Cheroot. Now that there is a great fireplace in the house, the guys are gonna want to come over with their cigars and cheroots and play cards all night. Now that brings up a question. What is the difference between cigars and cheroots? The cigar is a tightly rolled bunch of tobacco that has a pointed end which is were one smokes from. In case you needed reminding. Don’t cut the pointed end to much. I always see guys gnawing on it. Ewe.

The cheroot is a bit different. It is a smoke-able roll yes but not a cigar. For one thing it has a only one side that is lit leaving the other side with a filter for smoking. The filter is usually made of a small rolled piece of corn husks. The outside of the cheroot is made of dried carbia myxa leaf also known as thanal-phet. The inside is a secret blend of tobacco and dried wood. That is of course what makes the difference between the brands and styles of different makers. They come in many sizes. The smallest size is just a bit larger than a cigarette. The big ones get to be about six to eight inches long with about a half inch in diameter.

This is a good thing for the ladies that may show up to the poker party. This used to be the thing with grandma’s generation. The women of the past days would make up their own hand rolled cheroots. They would be made up of the wood and tobacco as well as some leaves and cotton thread probably from the family sewing basket. They even had a tobacco basket to store all the ingredients and tools. Remember the cheroots that were so glamorous? The ones that were at the end of a long ivory holders. All the ladies like to look chic with their smokes and their tight satin dresses.
