Really hard to find a seat in the deplorables section in the aft section on the cruise.

Lots of chain smoking rednecks. As an over educated recalcitrant redneck, I can swim in that pool but its been very frustrating to find a way to smoke a cigar.

Hey! Over the last couple years I’ve been enjoying cruise vacations. I started off with Carnival because I was given a free cruise from a land based casino as a comp. I’ve stuck with them for several cruises because the offers I get are incredible due to my casino play. I found similar issues to what you describe smoking on the ship and have searched other options because of it. Have you tried norwegian cruise line ships before? Some of them from what I understand have cigar lounges. I am heavily considering switching over to them because of that, but wondering if it’s worth it… I currently get suits, drinks, a considerable amount of free play, and other perks I would give up to switch, but might be worth it… I’m interested in your thoughts on this, if you have any feedback.

I’m going through some older cbid mistakes, I mean purchases to make room. This being a conglomerate stick living off a Cuban name seemed an easy target but actually surprised me a little. Black pepper, earth and spice with a hint of raisin sweetness. Bitterness shows up but fortunately doesn’t stay long. Coffee, pepper, aromatic spices and faint underlying sweetness. Better second half with good strong spice and pepper. Not a lot of flavors or excitement but not terrible especially in 97 degree heat.

Gotta say I’m loving life right now… back to back fantastic cigars!
