the cigar aficionado


FYI- Did you know that each brand and type of cigar tastes different. While the wrapper does not entirely determine the flavour of the cigar, darker wrappers tend to produce a sweetness, while lighter wrappers usually have a "drier" taste. Whether a cigar is mild, medium, or full bodied does not correlate with quality. Different smokers will have different preferences, some liking one good cigar better than another, others disagreeing.

Cigar smoke, which is rarely inhaled, tastes of tobacco with nuances of other tastes. Many different things affect the scent of cigar smoke: tobacco type, quality of the cigar, added flavours, age and humidity, production method (handmade vs. machine-made) and more. A fine cigar can taste completely different from inhaled cigarette smoke. When smoke is inhaled, as is usual with cigarettes, the tobacco flavour is less noticeable than the sensation from the smoke Some cigar enthusiasts use a vocabulary similar to that of wine-tasters to describe the overtones and undertones observed while smoking a cigar. Some even keep journals of cigars they've enjoyed, complete with personal ratings, description of flavors observed, sizes, brands, etc. Cigar tasting is in some respects similar to wine and cognac tasting.

what is it about the Genesis?.



I myself is asking why I did titled my blog Genesis, why?. simply my answer is I don't know yet and we'll find out as you read along down below. well, let me start by typing anything that will come up with my brain right now- hmmm, ok I'm not a big fan of hyundai motor vehicle a model named Genesis, it's a 40 grand auto that copied almost every details to any other car manufacturer.
I like Philip David Charles aka Phil Collins, Genesis is an English rock band
that formed in 1967. Everyone should know them if you were born before 1980. The band currently comprises the longest-tenured member Phil Collins the lead vocal and drums. kudos to Mr. Phil. much music of the 80's band trivia now going on. but well the significant theme of my Genesis blog is about the creation of light.
In the old testament and I think this is where we are all heading out to find the detail soon. I' m not so much into religion which causes the whole world at war. let us all just believe into at least there is someone out there, I'm not preaching anything but- All you have to do is BELIEVE.

Let there be light - Today in the modern photography, light is very essential to capture stunning photos, like many other photographers out there we all use various accessories and gadgets to create a more natural and clean and as much as fine detail on every shots we have to take.
Finally, I made my point that light is the essence here to my subject, without light everything is impossible, so lighten us up here.
I studied photography on line at http://www.thephotographyinstitute.com/ very reasonable cost and lots and lots of info. Technically I don't need it, I'm not a genius to avoid learning from the Institute, they needed money and I need some credentials. And not just shooting photograph by the way, On a different angle things are change on a different perspective of composition. Not just about asking someone to pause or still for few second to take the shot but knowing the right moment and capturing the one perfect shot.
I think we've got some idea why I picked the name Genesis -the transformation of darkness to light.


cheers all
