Originating from Cuba, tobacco is grown and harvested in several regions of the island, especially in Vuelta Abajo plantations, situated in Pinar del R\u00edo province. Exploring the areas of Cuba, Christopher Columbus with his two sailors, found something that related history of Cuban cigars to them.
\nNamely, these two sailors came across a number of people while exploring. The men had a smoldering stick in their hands and certain herbs, which were dry and wrapped in a musket style leaf that was also dry, and lit at one end. At the other end they sucked or inhaled or received that smoke, when they breathed in. They had discovered the land of tobacco without being aware of the extension of their report. After that Columbus went to Europe, where he introduced to the Spanish people a new way of enjoying.
\nCuban cigars weren\u2019t so popular, but in the mid of 1990s they had a big boom. In those years they became fashionable and stylish, largely due to their representation in the media.
\nMany people don\u2019t now that the Cubans cigars were named by the works of Alexander Dumas and William Shakespeare. They are named so due to the tradition of reading books in the cigar factories, which dates back to the 1860s. From then till today, there were many brands of Cuban cigars, but some the most famous are Cohiba cigars, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, Partagas, Diplomaticos.
\nCohiba cigars are considered for the leading brand of Cuba. The name originates from an ancient Taino Indian word for bunches of tobacco leaves, which was the earliest known form of the cigar. It is believed that the first Cohiba cigar was made in 1966, and on the world market came out in 1982.
\nMontecristo has a rich history, and it became one of the best known cigars in the world. Also it represents a standard by which all Cuban cigars are judged.
\n
Romeo y Julieta has over 130 years of heritage, and it was named after Shakespeare\u2019s literary masterpiece. Created in Cuba in 1875, Romeo y Julieta cigar became incredibly famous in the 20th century.
\nIn a world of noble smoking Cuban cigars enjoy the highest reputation and the peak of pleasure. They evoke images of sophistication and glamour. They are sold in boxes sealed with large green sign of authenticity. Smoking of this cigar has its own ritual. True smoker first smells the cigar, then he caress it and enjoy it before it is ignited. They say that smoking should be slow, never during work or on the street. Smoke should be drawn only every minute. For true smoker Cuban cigar is an opportunity to enjoy the unique combination of flavors and aromas.
\nCuban cigars are a luxury, and not a cheap one. They are made from quality materials and a lot of care and attention goes into the making of every single cigar. Considering that it is very hard to find them outside of Cuba makes it even more desirable.

Pure hedonism is the moment when all your senses are relaxed and hundred percent directed towards the pleasure which you feel. It usually does not last very long, but it stays in us for longer time, filling us with the energy and the vivacity.
Hedonism is mainly seen as the privilege of the rich. Through the global media, which very much influences the style of living people aspire to, we became overburdened with some status symbols. Often, wrongfully, the possession of such status symbols is associated with the hedonism. It is true that the majority of people with better material status can afford themselves more opportunities to enjoy. But also, another truth is that there are rich people who simply cannot truly enjoy all that they can afford, whereas, on the other hand, there are people whose pockets are not that deep, and who, on the contrary, know exactly what fulfils them and manage to enjoy it accordingly.
\nHedonism is defined as the aspiration towards the pleasure which is the purpose itself. One can say that the purpose of life is actually reaching for the pleasure. At first, it sounds superficial. However, if we think a bit, we can conclude that everything that we do can be brought down to satisfying of our own egos and senses.
\nTalking about the pleasure, what everyone first has on their mind is a physical pleasure and relaxation, where we inevitably fancy wellness and spa moments, or the pleasure of enjoying some vintage wine with a beloved person, by the fireplace or under the starry sky. Music, dance and physical activity can provide many of us with a feeling of content. Or perhaps a good film in the atmosphere of a warm home, people we love and popcorns. Relaxing coffee with our friends or a shopping can be put under the category of activities with healing effects.
\nThose companies that take care of their employees often grant them with the vouchers for spa treatments, fitness clubs or dinners in restaurants.
\nOn the other hand, the idea that it was our work that contributed to the success and that we were successful in doing something, whether that was establishment ![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/tema_broja_3.jpg\")
of a good contact, realization of the project or a scientific discovery that will significantly contribute to the mankind, gives an immeasurable feeling of pleasure, pride and appropriateness. Even if we were not aware of that earlier, at that particular moment we realize that the self-sacrifice, effort and work, that we gave, paid out through the precious feeling that we have. At the end, we all love the success in any aspect of our lives, because of the pleasure it fills us with.
Sometimes praise from the chief or a colleague is a satisfaction better than any other. Our colleagues will appreciate if we jump into the action instead of them, if needed, our chief will be cooperative if they see our enterprising spirit and the loyalty.
\nWe can set a goal for ourselves, for example to treat ourselves with something that we desire, on accomplishment of some demanding project. At the end of the day, a bottle of wine and the starry sky can always be afforded. Our friends will not charge us for a laugh they give us during the coffee after work.
\nSome people consider hedonism the privilege of the rich. Rich in spirit, I would say.
