The Man Holiday


Like Christmas, New Years, and Easter, tomorrow is just as much of a holiday as the more traditional days. Tomorrow is the Super Bowl. In The USA, this is when hordes of people get together for hot dogs, bratwurst, hamburgers, chili, chips and dip, and maybe, if the ever watchful eye of a wife is upon us, a carrot or celery stick. We get together to watch the most
expensive television sporting event of the year. We laugh at 30 second commercials, that cost upwards of 15 million dollars to air. We drink horrible, cheap water we call beer. We talk about manly subjects, and poke fun at each team playing. This has become such a tradition, that it wouldn't be right to sit at home alone, and watch the game in peace and quiet. Or would it...? This year, I will be traveling to my brother-in-law's house to watch the big event. In addition to beer (I kick it up a notch from the bud light, and drink Sierra Nevada, or Summit Pale Ale), I will be bringing the traditional bratwursts and chili.
But, like every holiday, I will be bringing some great smokes as well. Every day we are alive, deserves a cigar at the end to celebrate our small victories in life. But, holidays deserve something a little better. This year I will be bringing some Tatuaje Black and Red Tubos by Pete Johnson and blended by Don Pepin Garcia. These cigars will be the perfect accompaniment to the excitement and flavors of tomorrow. Being an all Nicaraguan puro, it is sure to have that bold, full body and flavor of pepper and spice. This cigar should pair beautifully with the south-of-the-border spices in the chili, and the hopiness of the Sierra Nevada. This truly will be a special cigar to celebrate with. There is nothing like a great cigar to share with friends during a holiday like tomorrow. Like every holiday, the gathering of friends and family, the great conversations and food, should be accompanied by a wonderful cigar. What are you smoking tomorrow?
