the homeland

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one with serious roots deep in history, which includes the Phoenicians as well as the Canaanites and the Philistines of Goliath fame. As this article so deftly points out, we need to see it as it really is. The analogy with the great state of Texas seems to be so fitting. I am proud to be a naturalized Texan, would never have chosen to be born anywhere else....

Land For Peace, American Style

Meanwhile I managed to find a Camacho 1962 pre-embargo cigar, what an incredible cigar to smoke with this article!

Camacho Pre-Embargo
Camacho’s finest. A robust, yet elegant treat.
Camacho is synonymous with ‘full.’ Full-bodied, full-flavored, and full of character. Indeed, Camacho blends tend to be powerful yet well-balanced smokes that offer superior flavor and aroma characteristics. This is precisely why makers Christian and Julio Eiroa have developed such a loyal cult-like following.
Camacho Pre-Embargo is one of the most unique cigars on the market. The blend begins with a vintage ’99 Jamastran Corojo wrapper draped around a complex filler blend including a significant portion of authentic pre-embargo Cuban tobacco - the very same tobaccos used in Camacho’s beloved Liberty series. Medium in body with a rich flavor profile, Camacho’s 1962 Pre-Embargo size brings copious amounts of flavor, including wood, leather, nuts, and spices.

Thank God for excellent cigars to celebrate the incredible soil he has given us, and the land in which we live.
