The Fascinating History of the Cigar
A Journey Through Time
The cigar, with its long and storied history, is a testament to the global spread of cultural practices. Dating back to the 10th century, cigars were a popular form of tobacco consumption among the indigenous people of the Caribbean, Central, and South America. In 1492, Christopher Columbus and his crew were the first Europeans to encounter cigars when they landed on the island of Hispaniola. This encounter sparked a global interest in cigars, leading to their spread throughout Europe and other parts of the world. By the 1800s, cigar production had become a significant industry in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and other Caribbean nations, further solidifying the global appeal of cigars. As the popularity of cigars grew, new techniques were developed to enhance the flavor and aroma of the tobacco, contributing to their universal appeal. To this day, the cigar remains a popular form of tobacco consumption around the world, a symbol of the global exchange of cultural practices.

Real Men Are Born to Protect
Honoring a Powerful, Protective Nature
Real men are inherently wired to protect women and children; it's in their very essence. Being a strong, protective man is not a flaw; it's a virtue to be celebrated.
For centuries, the noble role of men as protectors has been a constant, a thread that weaves through the fabric of history. From the dangers of the world, men have shielded women and children, passing down this honorable trait through generations. It is a tradition deeply embedded in the DNA of real men, a continuity that has been respected since the dawn of time.
In the past, this noble trait was often embodied by warriors, men who fearlessly marched into battle to shield their families, communities, and country. Their unwavering strength and courage were not just admirable but celebrated. They were revered for their readiness to risk life and limb, a testament to their bravery and the pride of their communities, to ensure the safety of their loved ones.
In the present day, the role of protector is as relevant as ever. Men are still viewed as the ones who will step forward to defend their families and friends in times of peril. Whether it’s a physical or verbal confrontation, men are ready to intervene and take charge. They are eager to uphold justice and safeguard those in distress.

Basic Table Manners
While most people are familiar with a few basic rules of standard table etiquette, seeing a proper place setting at a formal dinner, banquet, or holiday gathering can be daunting. However, it's important to remember that these rules are not as strict as they seem. This article provides clear guidance on what to do and, more importantly, what not to do in such a situation, helping you navigate the table confidently and gracefully.
First, let's demystify the silverware, plates, and glasses that adorn a formal dining table. The bread plate is conveniently located to the left of the dinner plate, with the bread knife neatly placed on top. All beverage glasses are thoughtfully arranged to the right of the plate. If there's a wine and a water glass, the water glass is strategically placed to the left and closer to the plate. When selecting your silverware, simply move from the outside in. The salad fork is easily identifiable as the furthest to the left, and the soup spoon as the furthest to the right. And if there's a fork and/or spoon above the plate, it's a sweet reminder of the upcoming dessert. This practical guide, designed to make you feel at ease, will help you navigate the table setting with confidence.
Of course, common courtesy traditions should be observed, whether the dinner is formal or informal. Men shouldn’t wear hats at the table, as it is considered disrespectful, and they should remain standing until the women are seated. Do not start eating until everyone has been served their food and the host or hostess begins eating. Always keep your napkin in your lap unless you are using it.
While eating, spoon your soup away from you, and be careful not to slurp. Never use your fingers to push food onto a fork. If you need help, use your knife or a piece of bread. If you can help it, don’t blow your nose, cough, burp, sneeze, or make other unnecessary noises at the table. These noises can include loud chewing, tapping on the table, or speaking with your mouth full. If you must do any of these, it's best to leave the table to maintain the comfort of others. Always say “Excuse Me” when leaving the table. One modern etiquette that must be added to any list of don’ts is not to use your cell phone or text device while seated at the table. Excuse yourself and do so in another room.
When you finish eating, place your used utensils on the plate, not the table or the tablecloth. Place your napkin on the table to the left of the plate – not the plate itself, and never put it on the chair. Please wait for the host or hostess to rise before you do, and always remember to thank the hostess when leaving. This simple act is not just a formality, but a genuine sign of respect and appreciation for their hospitality, making them feel valued and acknowledged.
Just a few simple tips and things to remember will help you get through your next formal dinner gathering without looking as uncomfortable as you probably feel. Remember, it's all about making everyone feel comfortable and at ease, including yourself.
