I was enjoying a Bolivar I got from Light this! (as it happens, the last poster on this thread), and I was thinking about my trip to Cuba, and how things seem to be changing between Cuba and the US.  I was thinking about how lucky I was to get down there before things change a lot.  Then I was...

  I read another blog post where someone had the same opinion.  They said they might try to adapt the recipe to make straight meatloaf.  

  Peter Stokkebye 23 B&B, Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader, Frog Morton, Presbyterian, and Solani aged burley flake are the tins in my current rotation.  I think my buddy was smoking some nightcap.

I found a recipe for Ernest Hemingway's Hamburger online a while back, and finally fixed it up.  It was pretty labor intensive, but I ended up with a very different, and very delicious result:   http://bonvivantva.com/?p=4056

Hope the julep turned out well.  I've had a few more since my post.  

  I agree.  I believe that most Cubans know that communism has failed.  I don't think they want full blown American-style capitalism, but they're already moving toward a free market.  The government is allowing some free enterprise, and Cuba is changing very rapidly right now.   Che is long...

I tried to write the most comprehensive and informative post on the mint julep ever.  Let me know what y'all think.  Cheers!   http://bonvivantva.com/?p=3578

Day 9  http://bonvivantva.com/?p=3366   (cigars, flight to Miami, Little Havana)   Day 10 http://bonvivantva.com/?p=3483   (flight home, souvenirs, wrap up)

I'm a zing zang fan.  If you see a fancy one with real crab, those are usually pretty good as well, but they're generally a consume pretty quickly type deal.

I randomly got a catalogue from them.  They had some special barrel selections that looked pretty good.  I'll have to give them another look.

  Thanks for the feedback.  The senior were so interesting, and so passionate.  I've got day 4th up now, and I'm working on the rest.  Might get another post up tomorrow.  Thanks again!

I'm only into day 3.  More cigars to come.

I just got back last week, and threw some blog posts up.  I thought you guys might be interested in the P2P trips.  More to come.  Later in the week I visited a cigar factory, and tobacco farm.  I should get those days posted soon.  Since I was on an educational tour, I did a lot that the normal...

I jumped the gun and smoked one (pics):   http://bonvivantva.com/?p=961
