Press Release
MISAMIS ORIENTAL SOLON LAUDS CUSTOMS FOR NOT FORGETTING ABOUT VERDE SOKO WASTE RE-EXPORT DELAYED BY COVID-19

On behalf of the residents of Misamis Oriental, I thank Customs Commissioner Rey Guerrero and the Department of Finance for not forgetting the 2,500 MT of Verde Soko waste still to be sent back to South Korea but was delayed because of COVID-19.

In a DoF news release, retired general Guerrero was reported to have identified 2,500 MT of waste which still need to be re-bagged.

"The re-exportation took some time because the wastes have been exposed to natural elements of heat and rain, which made it difficult to re-bag and stuff inside the containers," Guerrero said in his report to Dominguez, according to the news release issued on April 22.

"Rest assured that the Bureau will undertake all the necessary means, within the bounds of law, in order to expedite the re-exportation of these wastes," Guerrero told Dominguez, the news release said further.

We here in Misamis Oriental will continue to work with the Bureau of Customs to bring this Verde Soko to its proper conclusion and work toward closure through the prosecution of all persons and organizations involved.

It is also our hope that the NBI and Department of Justice here and in Manila will not relent in their continuing investigation and prosecution of the cases against those charged and those still at large. (END)

Press Release
REP. TULFO WANTS FACT-FINDING PROBE ON FATAL SHOOTING OF EX-SOLDIER WITH POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER COMPLETED IN 30 DAYS

Bilang isa sa mga Kinatawan ng ACT-CIS Party-list na kumakatawan sa mga api, dismayado ako sa naging asal ng mga pulis na sangkot sa pagbaril at pagkapatay kay Winston Ragos, retiradong sundalo ng Philippine Army at kumpirmadong mayroong post-traumatic stress disorder.

Tama lang na imbestigahan ng Philippine Army Judge Advocate General ang kaso. Sa panig naman ng PNP, ang National Police Commission ang dapat mag-imbestiga kasama ang PNP-NCRPO.

Hindi naging katanggap-tanggap ang komento ng matataas na opisyal ng PNP sa insidente. Premature ang ginawa ng mga opisyal ng PNP. Defensive agad kahit hindi pa kumpleto ang impormasyon?

Ngunit, mayroon nang malinaw na dahilan upang pagdudahan ang mga pulis na sangkot sa insidente dahil kitang-kita sa viral video na hindi sila sumunod sa maximum tolerance policy na itinatadhana sa Enhanced Community Quarantine procedures. Bakit kailangang tutukan ng baril ang isang "quarantine violator" ?

Hindi rin tinupad ang mga regulasyon sa preservation ng crime scene dahil dinampot ng isa sa mga unipormadong naka-fatigue na kawani ng PNP ang bag ng biktima. Ayon sa mga regulasyon sa crime scene preservation, wala dapat hinawakan o ginalaw na kahit anong bagay sa crime scene matapos ang isang krimen.

Hindi lang dapat yung bumaril ang i-confine to barracks. Dapat pati yung mga kasamang pulis sa insidente, i-confine to barracks din.

I am hoping the joint investigation of the Army, the NAPOLCOM, and the PNP-NCRPO will be thorough, evidence-based, and objective.

I will monitor the developments of this case in the weeks and months ahead.

Investigators should set a deadline of at most 30 days to complete their fact-finding probe, so that proper charges can be filed at the soonest.

A retired soldier who served our country died. He is a victim. It cannot be that no one is held responsible for his death. (END)

Repost from FB
A plea from the Association of Husbands Who Need To Go Out To Market (CLAPP) during the Covid-19 Pandemic:

1. Fix the shopping list.
Please group items in the same category,  non-food essentials and food essentials together, so we will not go around the market in circles. Do not list oil on no. 1 and soy sauce on no.
15.

2. Be specific.
If you need to buy 5kilos of rice, put what kind of rice -,sinandomeng, jasmine, brown, black, red.
Unless a budget is given like P35 / kilo, it's just well-milled.

3. Make sure the list is complete.
It's unacceptable to be in line for an hour and in the market for another three hours and we get home missing to buy a  panty liner.

4. Accept that we often go wrong.
It's hard to go shopping since most of us are are not used to looking at how red gills should be, how much of a string beans and what kind of sinigang mix e.g. tamarind, fish, pork, shrimp, for mother-in-in-law etc.

5. Don't rush us.
We just got out of the house 5 mins and you messaging us where we are. Where do you think? If you want, just buy  1/4 kg kasim on Shopee.

6. Don't ask for the change.
You only gave 1 thousand for 50 items on the list.  Nag abono pa ako.

Thank you very much.
- Husband.

Wife: What the heck! Hahaha

U.S. Provides Php269 Million in New COVID-19 Assistance, Total Aid Exceeds Php470 Million

Manila, April 22, 2020 — The U.S. government approved an additional Php269 million ($5.3 million) in health and humanitarian assistance to help support the Philippines in the fight against COVID-19, bringing total U.S. assistance to the Philippines to more than Php470 million ($9.3 million). The U.S. government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is collaborating with the Philippine government to implement internationally-recognized prevention, control, and response strategies to protect against infectious diseases.

This newest tranche of U.S. assistance will support laboratory and specimen-transport systems and intensify case-finding and disease surveillance. The funding also will assist Filipino and international technical experts in risk communication, infection prevention and control efforts, handwashing and hygiene promotion, and community-level preparedness and response.

Previously, the United States announced Php203 million ($4 million) in health funding to support the Philippine government's efforts to prepare laboratory systems to combat the virus, as well as a donation of 1,300 cots to Philippine medical facilities.

Thus far, U.S. assistance has: 

· Boosted Testing Capacity: U.S.-supported efforts to augment the Philippines Department of Health (DOH)'s testing capacity by upgrading laboratories, provide laboratory supplies, and strengthen specimen transport systems have contributed to an increase in the country's testing capacity from 200 to approximately 3,000 tests per day. 

· Intensified Infection Control: USAID's online learning modules are boosting capacities in more than 100 hospitals across the country with the most up-to-date COVID-19 infection prevention and control information and skills. This assistance also helps individuals, families, and frontline community and hospital heath care workers to protect themselves from infection. 

· Enhanced Risk Preparedness and Crisis Communications: USAID is supporting DOH communications platforms, including the Healthy Pilipinas Facebook page for accurate COVID-19 information. USAID is also supporting the DOH to rapidly translate and communicate the latest COVID-19 guidelines and policies for improved implementation of COVID-19 response.

· Strengthened Supply Chain Management: USAID assisted the DOH to develop and launch a nationwide commodity and logistics tracking tool that offers real-time data on stores of life-saving COVID-19 commodities, in turn improving the availability and appropriate management and delivery to the areas of greatest need.

· Expanded WASH Access and Data Collection: USAID is expanding community access to water, sanitation, hygiene services, and commodities to prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. Funding also aids Filipino and international technical experts in data collection to enhance COVID-19 response and preparedness, including support for two surveillance experts who are assisting the DOH Epidemiology Bureau with Analysis and reporting of COVID-19 cases.

The United States has invested more than $4.5 billion in total assistance to the Philippines over the past 20 years, including $582 million to support the public health system.

Coronavirus Update: For some months now, I have been observing the findings of Covid 19 and the different suggestions of how to treat it. So far the approach of Dr. Angel Atienza is for me is the most logical.

When his viral post came, I did a background research and it showed that it was not a fake article. A newspaper in Spain really featured his findings and the said hospital testifies that all were true. I also did Google translate about some spanish articles about him, yes all true.

Being a concerned citizen, Physician and also one of the members of Covid 19 Medical Panel of advisers for Malacañang I wish to throw my support on the findings of the said Doctor from Spain.

To make it simple, the enemy is a Giant Inflammatory reaction. How do we kill a giant? Kill it when it is still a baby.

Note the medicines suggested here are for hospital use only, for patients already with Covid 19 symptoms.

This is his full article...

"My name is Angel Atienza, I am an internal medicine specialist and lead of the COVID area at the Hospital Doctor Peset in Valencia, Spain.

When the epidemic began we were horrified to see the severity of this disease. The patients developed respiratory failure, frequently in a very sudden way, with not much perceptible dyspnoea, and had to be transferred to the ICU for ventilatory support.

We have now learnt to manage this disease. As you know, the disease has two phases, first an infectious phase that lasts for a week after the onset of symptoms, and thereafter an inflammatory phase that starts around the seventh or eighth day, with the onset of lung infiltrates and biochemical derangements that are now well known.

It is not known why some patients develop this second inflammatory phase and others do not, what does seem clear is that the inflammatory phase is mediated by the activation of macrophages and the release of inflammatory mediators that disrupt the alveolo - capillary membrane, leading to respiratory distress.

In most hospital treatment protocols anti inflammatory therapy is reserved for those patients that progress to severe pneumonia.
In our hospital we have taken the opposite approach, we have defined a treatment protocol aiming to preempt the inflammatory changes.

We believe that the radiological changes that appear in chest imaging are not infectious in nature, but rather caused by the triggering of the inflammatory cascade. We should thus intervene early, before an anatomical injury of the alveolar membrane happens leading to respiratory distress.

In those patients that exhibit early radiological changes, we have started using a treatment protocol with steroids starting on the sixth day of symptoms and lasting to day 12, to dampen the inflammatory response and prevent the progression to ARDS.

We think that the treatment for COVID pneumonia is to start steroid treatment at the stage of mild pneumonia, particularly in febrile patients with biochemical disturbance, at the end of the first week.

We are using methylprednisolone at a dose of 80 mg per day, either as a single daily dose, or as 40 mg bd, and in some patients in whom we observe a satisfactory response we add a further antinflammatory agent such as tocilizumab or anakinra.

With this we are seeing very good results, a decreased need for admission to ICU, shorter hospital LOS and clinical and radiological responses that are nothing short of spectacular.

We believe that the WHO is mistaken in considering steroids contraindicated in patients with COVID 19;  in following this, antiinflammatory therapy is delayed to a more severe stage when is is much less effective.

We are gathering data on this that we will soon share, but we feel duty bound to publicise this information without any further delay, and we encourage you to trial this treatment.
Patients are not being killed by the infection, they are being killed by the inflammatory response triggered by macrophage activation.
Please share this information and start using it, collect data and let´s beat the epidemic together.

EARLY ANTIINFLAMMATORY TREATMENT AND GOOD LUCK DEAR COLLEAGUES,

It was easy for me to favor his explanation because last Feb. 16, I already expained it almost the same way, here was my video.

https://www.facebook.com/1432850393613872/posts/2633088410256725/?vh=e&d=n

Please share it so to the level that it will reach Spain back again!

Art Yap to sketch the transition path to a new normal for the period that the Covid-19 should wane and Bohol should gradually reopen but with a different door.

Press Release Philippines / NPA Attacks
April 22, 2020, 11:03:12 PM
STATEMENT BY MAYOR  SARA DUTERTE ON NPA ATTACK IN PAQUIBATO

The New People's Army has once again shamelessly exposed itself as the devil incarnate when it attacked soldiers in Sitio Kapihan, Barangay Malabog in Paquibato District, Davao City Wednesday, April 22, 2020.

The terroristic attack came days after it announced, along with the Communist Party of the Philippines, that it was extending its self-declared ceasefire to April 30 — that we can only say now as a total sham.

The cowardly attack, which was carried out with the use of a bomb, only proved that the NPA, the CPP, and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines are truly the enemy of the people and the government.

Two soldiers from 16th IB were wounded during the attack.

We condemn this attack as this happened at a time when we are supposed to be working together against Covid-19.

We can clearly expect nothing from the NPA terrorists — not even the slightest compassion for the people. It cannot even feign concern. 

For the NPA terrorists, what's important is death, destruction, and taking over the government.

We call on the public to reject the NPA terrorists,  work together and strongly resist its perverted political agenda, and drive them completely out of our communities.

Thank you.

-City Mayor's Office

Inspiration & Hope / Morning Prayer
April 22, 2020, 07:52:52 AM
O God, Great Giver of Life and Purpose, It is to you we say thank you for bringing us to this point in our journey.

For the last few weeks we have sought to discover our purpose in you so that we can live
purpose driven lives. We thank you for how you have revealed yourself to us and in us over the
last few weeks.

We are grateful to know that we are not here by accident and that our life is only a temporary
assignment which must be dedicated to giving you glory at all times. Lord, we thank you for your merciful forgiveness when we confess that we have momentarily forgotten that it is not about us, but it is all about you.

Creator God we thank you that everything in our life happens for a reason and that it is all
working together for our good so that we can truly be the men and women of God you are calling for and designing us to be. Amen.

11 Quick (and Good) Content Ideas for Your Ezine or Website

Summary:
While I'm sure that sometimes you have dozens of content ideas, I bet other times you find yourself staring at a blank computer screen, grumbling that it's publishing time again. Well, have no fear! Here are 11 quick (and good) content ideas for when you're in a pinch.

Keywords:
ezine writing, ezine advertising, e-zine advertising, ezine newsletters, ezine marketing, ezines, e-zine, ezine, speaking opportunities

Article Body:
Publishing articles, especially via an e-zine, is the ideal opportunity to showcase your business. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you build credibility as an expert, while spreading the word about your services and products.

While I'm sure that sometimes you have dozens of content ideas, I bet other times you find yourself staring at a blank computer screen, grumbling that it's publishing time again. Well, have no fear! Here are 11 quick (and good) content ideas for when you're in a pinch.

1. Give real-life success stories.
Describe a problem you've solved for a client/customer, and use that as a springboard to offer more general advice. Show your readers how you've helped customers address challenges -- "case studies" if you will. This positions you as the expert in your readers' minds more than your coming out and saying so.

2. Think of three areas in which you'd like your clients to think of you as a resource.

Now develop content in those areas. For example, in my past life as a professional copywriter, I really enjoyed writing for Web sites. To help encourage my clients and prospects to hire me for these projects, I published several articles on how to write Web copy that sells.

3. Read industry publications for ideas.
Are there any hot issues in your field right now? The more controversial, the better. Don't be afraid to offer your own opinion -- your readers want to know it. After all, YOU are the expert in their eyes.

4. Jot down 8 questions your clients have asked you in the past.
You know, the ones they ask you over and over. Answer each in a short article. If you publish weekly, that's two months' worth of content, right off the bat! And if you can't think of any questions, send all your current clients/customers a quick e-mail, asking them what topics they're most interested in learning more about.

5. Learn anything neat lately from an industry conference, workshop, seminar, or insightful article?
No one says you have to reinvent the wheel of information! Pass on any gems of advice you've learned elsewhere -- just give them full attribution. Or give your opinion of the event or article itself. Your readers will appreciate your frankness.

6. Offer a list of your top 5 or 10 tips on a certain subject.

It's much easier to bang out a list of tips than to put together a real article. Of course, the tips can evolve into an article if you wish! Be sure to list your best tip first, or at least close to the top. (If you "fire your biggest gun" last, you risk losing your audience before they get to the good stuff.)

7. Interview associates whose expertise would interest your readers
(while not competing with yours). E-mail interviews are incredibly easy to do. Just send your interviewee 3 to 5 questions via e-mail, edit their answers, and have them approve the final version. Be sure to give them a short plug in your e-zine as a thank you. (A one- or two-sentence description of their business and their Web address should be fine.)

8. Recommend books and resources that you use, and offer full reviews on them.In one issue of my old
ezine newsletters, "AKB MarCom Tips," I featured reviews of my favorite four copywriting resource books. I'm glad I also gave my Amazon.com associate links, because I ended up making some nice commission, to boot!

9. Invite clients or readers to write you with their own questions, and answer one in each issue.

Right after their question, publish the person's name, business, and Web address, with their permission. They'll enjoy the attention and free publicity!

10. Invite readers to send in profiles.
Ask them to tell you about themselves -- their names, businesses, locations, and how they use the information gained in your e-zine. Feature one profile in each issue or one every few issues.

11. When all else fails, borrow an article!
There are dozens of Web sites offering hundreds of articles that you can use in your e-zine. The articles are free and available for you to use immediately. The only catch is you're required to leave the entire article intact, including the author's promotional information. One of my favorite places to search for articles is www.ezinearticles.com.

One last note: Keep in mind that if your e-zine's main objective is to get you more clients and customers, you should NOT feature other writers' articles more than once in a blue moon. Remember our main goal is to continually showcase YOU.

How To Tips / 10 Article Writing Keys For Newbies
April 22, 2020, 05:46:59 AM
10 Article Writing Keys For Newbies

Summary:
BONUS TIP for you:  Along with "the rejection slip" will usually come a suggestion on how to "fix" your article

Keywords:
articles, article writing, writing, author, newbies, Blog, Blog writing, tennessee, mountain man, tennessee mountain man, computer,

Article Body:
This article on the 10 (no, 11... yes, 11) tips for newbies is not written from the catbird seat point of view of the article host or database manager.  Rather it is by and from the perspective of an author who remembers the early misgivings. It is written especially for the beginning article writer.  The Tennessee Mountain Man has written and submitted hundreds of articles for publication to thousands of article hosts and database managers and still finds article writing his nemesis. 

1.  Necessity vs Desire:

Articles and Blogs are necessary in today's scheme of search engine indexing.  Not what the newbie wants to hear.  Just remember what the Bible says, "there has nothing over taken you that is not common to man".  That's right!  All of us hate article and Blog writing at times, and some of us dread the journey to pen and paper (or keyboard as the case may be) all the time. Many a webmaster would call them "a necessary evil" as they are not generally anyone's best liked house keeping chores.

2.  Just Start, It Gets Easier:

First it is sometimes difficult to get a subject or theme and to get the first couple of lines scribbled down.  The Tennessee Mountain Man knows authors who literally get sick thinking about the process.  Lighten up.  Once an author has a starting point and gets passed the initial thoughts, article and Blog writing usually goes fairly smoothly.

The main thing is that you get started.  Pick a subject you know something about and just start.  You will be pleasantly surprised at just how easily ideasflow.  Don't assume everyone knows what you know.  They don't.  Will Rogers once said, "all men are ignorant, just on different subjects".  And, so it is!
3.  Good vs Perfection:

Your old English comp professor is not looking over your shoulder.  This paper does not have to be perfect.  That is not to say it does not have to be on point or to say that it does not have to be correct.  It does or at least it should be.  But, perfection is not the goal and is, in fact, seldom possible.  Too much detail and you run the risk of losing your reader on several levels.  Too long and
most readers simply don't have the time or interest to wade through the material regardless of how important it is.

4.  Blog Length vs Article Length:

Most publishers want a minimum of six hundred (600) words per article - some will let you slide with four hundred (400) words.  Blogs can be much smaller.  Blogs can and maybe should support appropriate pictures and embedded links.

Just don't over do it.  Too gaudy or too slow to load and you have wasted your time, ticked off a potential reader, and probably upset a host who can ban you from their publications.  Articles, on the other hand, typically cannot carry these extra touches according to the requirements of most publishers.

5.  Format:

Prepare your article in American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) format.  There are many tools from which to choose to get the job done. A search for 'free ASCII editor' or for 'free plain text editors' will provide one with a multitude of free options.  Word Press is a popular choice.  If all else fails simply use notepad to turn out your masterpiece.

6.  Spelling and Grammar:

Once you have your article or Blog run it through a good spell checker and a good grammar checker.  Microsoft Word works well for these purposes.  Just don't use the MS Word copy for publication of your article.  Rather use it's suggestions to make any necessary corrections to your plain text copy.  The MS Word copy will work for Blogs although the Computerman prefers other editors.

Just like the days when you were pushed by Profs, you will find Article and Blog writing skills become easier with time and practice.

7.  Publish and Announce:

Once your Blog is ready you may want to use some automatic tools to publish and announce it.  First do a search for Blog hosts and select those which best suit your needs.  Join one or more and publish your Blog there.  Then search for Blog announcers and rss announcers and use them to get your Blog noticed.

Now that you have that out of the way find an article wizard that will post your Articles to free publishers.  You can post them one at a time by hand if you are really bored and have absolutely nothing else in life to do.  Using an automatic poster you can publish to hundreds of hosts in an hour or so.  The only way to go.

8.  Patience:

Now, have some patience.  Here is where you lose control.  Many of the men and women who host articles are timely and your articles will be reviewed within twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours.  But, many others will be days and weeks down the road therefore never date an article - a sure way to get rejected.

9.  Rejection - "sorry your article has been declined":

Be prepared for most hosts to reject your articles.  Do not take it personally.  It usually has little to do with you or your article. 

Some databases routinely reject articles for spelling errors when there are none or where there is more than way to spell a word.  And, just as in any other endeavor some hosts are simply too lazy and get so far behind, the easiest and fastest thing to do (and perhaps the only alternative) is to reject everything.  You will learn who these are over time.

Then there are those who run your articles through the sausage grinder and if they find certain words, irrespective of how they are used, your article gets no farther.  These are the people who can't publish the Holy Bible because it contains words that offend them or their readers.  Don't worry about these folks who are so heavenly minded they are of no earthly use.

Remember, just as in everything else in life, for every rule there is an exception

10.  Keep the faith, and keep cranking out articles:

Since most authors, especially newbies, prepare only one copy of an article against the advice of most seasoned authors it is important that the newbie keep his chin up - keep the faith.  That will be easier as more and more of your articles are accepted and published driving visitors to your website while creating those all important back links.

It is not necessary that every host to accept everything submitted to them.  After one or two hosts publish your article on any given subject, the search engines tend to penalize you anyway by ignoring additional postings.  This is close to spamming and while it could help someone find you, it probably won't.  It is not necessarily, the more the merrier.  The additional listings will not increase your page rankings or links reported by the search engines.  It is more important to get published by hosts with the highest Google page rank possible.

Now, one BONUS TIP for you:  Along with "the rejection slip" will usually come a suggestion on how to "fix" your article and a  request that you resubmit it.  Don't waste your time.  While trying comply with one database manager's request you could have written a new article from which you get much more punch.  Enough publishers will pick your article up so move on and save yourself some time and heartburn.

Everybody has a thought or idea at least once a day usually at the most inopportune time.  How many good ideas have you lost because of waiting?  Don't procrastinate!  Go!  Capture that thought before it is gone forever.

How to Buy Cigars as a Gift

Is there a cigar aficionado on your gift list?  Wondering how to choose a decent cigar for a friend or loved one?  Even if you know nothing about cigars or choosing a good cigar, just learning a few basics can help you sniff out (sometimes literally) a good cigar to give to a friend. 

Fortunately, cigars have now entered the mainstream.  Once the symbol of the rich and powerful, it's easier than ever for just about anyone to purchase a good cigar.  Of course, you probably won't be able to buy your friend a box of top-tier Cuban cigars, but you can definitely buy them a good quality cigar that will put a smile on their face. 

First, visit your local tobacconist or specialty smoke shop for the best quality and widest selection.  Avoid 'drugstore' cigars.  Although they may be inexpensive and convenient to purchase, drugstore cigars are usually filled with preservatives and generally of poorer quality.  They may contain, at minimum, saltpeter, paper, glycerin, and other preservatives and irritants.  You should make sure that the cigars you purchase are made of 100% tobacco.  If you have any questions regarding the cigars ingredients, ask the salesperson.  An experienced and knowledgeable sales clerk will be able to tell you extensive information about the ingredients. 

Your local tobacco shop is a good place to shop because you will generally be allowed to smell and touch the cigars.  Squeeze the cigar gently.  A good quality cigar will give a little when squeezed.  The cigar should be firm, with no excessively soft or hard spots.  Never buy a lumpy cigar. Look at the wrapper.  If you notice any drying or discoloration, best not to buy it.  Ideally, the wrapper should be tight and smooth.  Inspect the color of the tobacco to make sure it is even.  Do this by inspecting the end of the cigar.  Some color variation is normal, but if the color changes abruptly, chances are the cigar was not rolled properly.  A cigar that is not rolled properly may result in an uneven burning and unpleasant odors. 

If you're not sure how much your friend smokes, choose a longer cigar.  Longer cigars tend to have a 'cooler' taste—an excellent choice for beginners. If you know your friend is an experienced and regular smoker, choose a cigar that is greater in diameter.  These cigars tend to have a richer flavor that experienced smokers will appreciate.

How to Choose the Perfect Single

Wondering how to choose the perfect cigar?  If you're a newcomer to the world of cigar smoking, here are a few tips to choosing the best cigar.

First, note the texture of the cigar. Squeeze it gently. Is very soft, or rigid?  Ideally, the cigar should give slightly, but not too much.  Very gently, squeeze the length of the cigar to check for lumps.  A good cigar will have a consistent texture.

Next, inspect the cigar for flaws.  Any cracks or discolorations are the signs of a lower quality cigar.  The cigar's wrapper should be wrapped smoothly. 

Finally, look at the ends of the cigar.  Pay particular attention to the exposed end where cigar is lit.  If you're new to cigars, it can be difficult to gauge the quality of the tobacco.  The simplest way to judge the tobacco quality of a cigar is to inspect the color of the tobacco.  If you note any abrupt color changes, this may indicate that the tobacco leaves were not laid out properly.  Look for a cigar with a smooth blend of tobacco.

How to Pair Cigars and Alcohol

The cigar has long been viewed as a luxury of the rich and powerful.  Images of well-to-do men puffing on a stogie and swirling a glass of good brandy have been well documented and memorialized in films and TV.  If you are just becoming interested in cigars and would like to relax with a stogie and drink after a long day's work, here are a few tips to get you started. 

Traditionally, the cigar has been paired with a strong drink.  Popular spirits include rum, brandy, or whiskey.  Some argue that a good cigar should always be paired with a strong drink that has a hint of sweetness.  Indeed, cigar smokers have long enjoyed these popular pairings.  For years, the idea of pairing cigars with beer has gone overlooked.  But why overlook good old beer?  Recently, the trend has been to pair cigars with various varieties of beer.  It seems that as cigars have entered the mainstream, it has been democratized and popularized.  What better way to enjoy a puff of this newly popularized treat than to pair it with beer? 

Pairing a good cigar with a good beer is not an easy feat, but when accomplished, it is well worth the effort.  Much of the pairing has to do with your experience level.  If you are a novice, you will probably need help in pairing your specific cigar with an appropriate beer.  If you have a more experienced palate, and you know what you like, you can probably make connections between certain types of cigars and beers. 

Because cigars are so strong and flavorful, one of the challenges in pairing is to find a beer that complements the intensity of most cigars.  Most cigars will pair nicely with a good barely wine or a single malt scotch.  If your cigar can be described as woody, spicy, with hints of cedar, try pairing it with a barley wine.  The fruity hint of barely wine should complement nicely with the spicy flavor of your cigar.  The combination of a spicy cigar with a slightly fruity beer can create an overall creaminess that enhances the flavors of each significantly.

If you have no clue as to what flavor combinations might work, experiment.  First, find a cigar that you enjoy.  Try to identify the characteristics that you enjoy about it.  Then, find a beer whose flavors you think might 'match' or complement the cigar.  Many incredible discoveries have been made in much this same way.

How To Properly Age A Cigar

Experienced cigar enthusiasts know well the pleasures of a well-aged cigar.  The subtle flavors and complex constitution of a well-aged cigar is indescribably and unforgettable.  Like wine, many cigar aficionados swear by the process of aging.  A great cigar, the argument goes, is an aged one.  How can you attain a well-aged cigar that provides the mellow, complex flavors you crave?  You can always fork over a good deal of your money and purchase a box of expensive vintage cigars.  If you would rather save the money and experiment with aging on your own, here are a few tips to help you get started.

First, know that you will have to be patient if you want a properly aged cigar.  You will have to age your cigars for about a year in order to achieve the flavors and complex subtleties of a well-aged cigar.  Also, know that in order to achieve the rewards of a well-aged cigar; you must begin the process with a high quality cigar.  If you try to age a lower quality cigar, chances are any amount of aging won't improve their flavor significantly.  Many high quality cigars that you find too strong or odorous are perfect candidates for aging.  In fact, almost all high quality cigars can be improved through the process of aging.

To age your cigars, purchase a good quality humidor.  Cigars must be stored in a constant and stable environment.  Follow the 70-70 rules.  That means the humidity must be at a constant humidity of 70%, and at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Of course, the environment in which they are stored is crucial. Follow the usual 70-70 rules for temperature and humidity. Any more and your cigars will get moldy; any less and the aging process begins to be stunted. Maintaining a stable environment for your cigars is key - a constantly fluctuation environment can be disastrous. Swings in temperature and humidity cause cigars to expand and contract, cracking their wrappers and it may disrupt the aging process. Ideally, the space in the humidor should be about twice the volume of cigars. The lining should be cedar - cedar wood is highly aromatic wood, full of its own oils. With the passage of time, the interaction of the tobacco oils amongst themselves, and with the cedar oil of the wood it leads to a mellowing and blending of flavors resulting in that subtle complexity you can only get from proper aging.

How to Purchase Cigars from Cuba

Every cigar aficionado knows that the very best cigars come from Cuba.  Unfortunately, buying the best can often be a risky proposition.  But many cigar enthusiasts are willing to take the risk to get a taste of the very best.  If you're wondering just how one would get their hands on a box of Cubans, read on.  Because of the relationship between the United States and Cuba, know that there are a lot of people looking to take advantage of cigar aficionados.  Purchasing Cuban cigars should be done with great caution in order to avoid getting duped. 

First, know that importing cigars from Cuba is considered illegal.  The United States placed economic sanctions on the Cuban government in 1963.  Ever since then, Cuban cigars have become the holy grail of cigar enthusiasts.  There is, however, one loophole: visitors to Cuba who return from a sanctioned and licensed visit are allowed to bring back cigars.  However, visitors are not able to bring back more than $100 worth of cigars, and they must be intended for personal use, and not for resale. 

Any other ways of obtaining Cuban cigars is considered illegal.  It is in fact illegal to buy, sell or trade Cuban cigars in the United States.  Fines for illegal trading, buying or selling of Cuban cigars may face up to $55,000 in civil fines.  This type of fine, however, is quite rare.  The more likely scenario is that you'll have your cigars confiscated. 

When purchasing a box of Cuban cigars, be prepared to fork over quite a bit of your cash.  Prices can range from about $150 to $500 or more.  If you're offered a box below these prices, chances are it may not be the real thing.  Most Internet businesses that sell purportedly genuine Cuban cigars tend to be imitations.  Always avoid shops or retailers that offer "discounted" Cuban cigars. 

How to get your hands on the real thing?  The easiest way to get a box of authentic Cuban cigars is to head north to Canada.  Buy them in Canada and repackage them so that they are not in their original Cuba packaging.  Remove the rings and place the cigars in a different box.  Customs agents tend to not inspect cigars carefully, and it is generally not considered a serious offense to bring Cuban cigars into the United States.  In fact, many clerks at tobacco shops will even offer to repackage Cuban cigars for you.

How to Spot Fake Cuban Cigars

Everyone knows that Cuban cigars are the most coveted cigars, renown worldwide for their smoothness and rich flavors.  Indeed, Cuban cigars are so prized that many illegitimate dealers have been known to sell fake Cubans to unsuspecting cigar smokers.  How do you tell if what you have is a fake or the real thing?  First, make certain that you purchase your cigars from a legitimate dealer.  Buying from your local tobacconist or a reputable mail order business can protect you from forking your money over for a box of fake cigars. 

If you have an opportunity to purchase a box of purported Cuban cigars, but have your doubts, take the time to examine the box before purchasing it.  Here are a few tips to help you spot the fakes from the real thing.

The most important thing to examine is the box.  Authentic Cuban cigars will contain a green and white warranty seal on the left front side of the box.  The seal will contain an insignia that has a picture of a shield and a hat.  On the upper right hand corner of the box, you should find a white sticker that is placed diagonally with the word 'Habanos' printed on it.  The overall appearance of the box should be neat and clean.  If the box appears damaged, smudged, frayed, or marked, avoid it.  If the color of the box is dull, don't buy it.  Even if the cigars are the real things, their quality may have suffered in transport.  If you are in the market for Cohiba, Trinidad, or Q'dorsay brand cigars, know that all authentic Cohiba's will contain the green and white warranty seal on the right hand side of the box.   

On the bottom of the box of cigars, you should find a heat stamp with the words 'Habanos.'  The heat stamp should be impressed onto the bottom of the box.  Fake Cuban cigar boxes often find other ways to imprint this label, such as using rubber stamps or paper labels.  You should also find a factory code stamp at the bottom that is stamped in green, blue or black ink.  This stamp will tell you when and where the cigars were rolled. 

If you can open the box, take the time to smell the tobacco.  Cuban cigars will have a deep, rich aroma, unmistakable to dedicated cigar aficionados.  If the smell is off, or very weak, chances are you do not have a box of authentic Cuban cigars in your hands.    The cigars should be facing the same way, and the top row may appear slightly flattened.  The caps on all the cigars should appear identical, and the foot of each cigar should be cut clean.  The bands on all the cigars should also be identical, and should be arranged so that they face the same direction.  If allowed, test the cigars out by pressing down on them.  Feel along the entire length of each cigar, checking for soft or hard spots.  The cigars should feel firm yet pliable.

Making the Perfect Cut on Your Cigar

How to clip a cigar properly?  Although every cigar aficionado has their own proven method, here are some basic guidelines to get you started. 

First, examine the head, or closed end, of the cigar.  This is the part of the cigar that will need to be clipped.  Determine where the 'cap' is.  The cap refers to the part of the cigar where the tobacco leaf was used to close the cigar.  Once you've found the cap, determine its length.  As a general rule, you should not cut any further than the end of the cap.  If you cut further than the cap, there's a good chance your cigar will unravel!

Use a good quality clipper to cut the head at the cap.  You don't want a cheap cutter that will result in frayed or split cuts.  You can purchase a special cigar cutter at your local tobacco shop that is designed to make clean cuts.  Once you have your cutter, hold your cigar at eye level and make a fast and decisive cut just above the cap.  Less is more when cutting—if you find your cut is too superficial, simply cut down a bit more.

Old vs. New:  Choosing the Right Cigar

Are you confused about old cigars versus fresh cigars?  What does this mean, exactly?  If you're new to the world of cigar smoking, these terms can be a little perplexing.  Basically, know that cigars are never really fresh.  That is, you generally can't purchase a cigar just after it has been produced.  Most tobacconists store their cigars at the proper temperature and humidity before they are stored.  Also, the tobacco in most premium cigars is usually aged for about one to two years before it is rolled into a cigar. 

Many smokers prefer old or vintage cigars.  Why?  Older cigars are not inherently better than newer cigars.  This is simply a matter of personal taste and preference.  How long can vintage cigars last before they lose flavor and integrity?  Cigars that are properly stored at a constant temperature of approximately 70 degrees, and about 70% humidity, can be stored indefinitely. 

What happens if an old cigar is not stored properly, and begins to dry out?  Although the integrity of the cigar will probably be damaged, it can be restored significantly by re-humidifying it.  This process must be done slowly and with great care to restore the cigar's flavor and consistency.

Tasting the World:  Cigar's From Different Countries

Most everyone is familiar with the much-lauded flavor of Cuban cigars.  But how do you know if you're smoking a Cuban cigar, or a cigar from any other country for that matter?  For those new to the world of cigar smoking, you should know that every cigar-producing country has its own unique flavor and character.  The soil quality and the way the tobacco is produced and rolled contribute to the overall flavor of the finished product. 

One must of course allow for significant regional variety, here are some very basic guidelines for getting to know the world's flavors.
The famous Cuban cigars are renowned for their smoothness and 'creamy' flavors.  They are applauded for their rich flavors and overall premium quality.  Cigars from Central American countries like Honduras and Nicaragua are known to be strong and rich in flavor.  Caribbean countries like Jamaica and the Dominican Republic are known for their milder flavors. 

Whatever country you purchase from, remember that a good way to gauge the overall flavor of a cigar is to note its diameter and length.  In general, cigars with a thicker diameter will have a richer flavor.  Longer cigars are generally cooler.

The Dangers of Being Exposed to Cigar Smoke

We have all heard about the dangers of inhaling second hand smoke.  Many people wonder if the dangers of inhaling cigar smoke are just as dangerous, or more.  Unfortunately, it appears that being exposed to secondhand smoke from a lit cigar can be just as dangerous—or more—than regular cigarette smoke.

All secondhand smoke emitted by tobacco products are classified as environmental tobacco smoke.  Environmental tobacco smoke refers to all the secondhand smoke released from tobacco products that are lit, such as cigars or cigarettes.  Research indicates that the smoke from cigars and cigarettes releases many of the same types of irritants.  Both cigar and cigarette environmental tobacco smoke contain nicotine, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia.  The environmental tobacco smoke from cigars and cigarettes also releases well-known carcinogens such as vinyl chlorine, benzene, arsenic, hydrocarbons, and nitrosamines.  Cigars, because of their size, usually release more environmental tobacco smoke than cigarettes.  Being around cigar smoke, then, can pose more of a health threat than inhaling secondhand smoke from a lit cigarette.

Even though both cigars and cigarettes release similarly toxic environmental tobacco smoke, there are some key differences between the two.  These differences are related to the very different ways that cigars and cigarettes are manufactured.  The production of cigars consists of a long process of fermentation and aging.  During the production and fermentation process, large amounts of carcinogens are produced.  Once a cigar has been fermented and aged, they are wrapped in a nonporous wrapper that keeps the cigar from burning too quickly.  The fermentation process and nonporous wrapper both contribute to the high concentrations of carcinogens in the smoke of al it cigar.  When a cigar is lit, the carcinogenic compounds produced during the fermentation process are released.  The nonporous wrapper also contributes to an unclean burn that is high in carcinogens. 

Another reason why cigars produce greater amounts of carcinogens is in their girth and length.  Cigars are simply bigger than cigarettes.  Their size allows them to release much more smoke, and in turn, much higher concentrations of toxins and irritants. Also, cigars are designed to be smoked much more slowly than regular cigarettes, and cigar smokers are encouraged to take their time and enjoy the relaxing experience. This results in longer smoke times, and obviously, the creation of much more smoke. It is advised for all non-smokers to avoid areas where cigars are being smoked.  If you smoke cigars, make sure to do so in a well-ventilated area.

The Parts of a Cigar

What are the different parts of a cigar?  Many long-time smokers enjoy their stogies without learning the basic parts of their cigar.  While it's true that you can enjoy a cigar without knowing how it was put together, learning the basic parts of a cigar can be instrumental in helping you choose the best quality cigars.

The first thing many smokers notice about a cigar is the wrapper, the layer of tobacco on the outside of a cigar.  A cigar's wrapper is very important because it provides much of the flavor of the cigar.  The best quality tobacco leaves are usually used to construct the wrapper.  They range in color from very clear (claro) to very dark (oscuro). 

Binders are known as the 'intermediate leaves.'  They are used to hold the tobacco filler together.  Binders can vary considerably. 

Last but certainly not least is the filler used to make a cigar.  The filler is the tobacco.  Generally, filler can be either long or short.  Long filler consists of whole tobacco leaves, while short filler consists of scraps.

Lifestyle, Culture and Arts / Why Use a Humidor?
April 21, 2020, 05:59:09 PM
Why Use a Humidor?

If you are not an experienced cigar smoker, you may be wondering why cigar aficionados use humidors.  Humidors are used to store and protect cigars so that they are kept at their peak flavor.  A humidor works by keeping a cigar at a constant temperature, somewhere between 68 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and about 70-72% humidity.

Many cigar aficionados claim that the ideal temperature for storing cigars is 70 degree F.  Any lower will tend to age the cigar, rather than keep it at a constant level.  Humidors are not meant to age, but rather to preserve the integrity, flavor, and color of the cigar. 

What should you look for when purchasing a humidor?  The good humidor should close completely, with a tight fitting lid that will keep the cigars well kept from the elements and prevent any exchange of moisture.  Seams should be smooth and well fitted for cigars.  Cedar, especially Spanish cedar is ideal for the interior of the humidor.  Of course, make certain your brand of cigars fits well into any humidor you are considering purchasing.

How to Blow Smoke Rings with Your Cigar

Do you yearn to blow smoke rings with your cigar like a pro?  Stogie aficionados often speak of the ceremony-like deliberateness of smoking a good cigar.  Blowing smoke rings is the mark of a smoker who enjoys the smooth and relaxing effects of smoking.  But how do you blow a good smoke ring?  Some argue that it cannot be taught—that it will simply come to you with time and practice.  Regardless, here are a few tips to get you going.

Veteran smokers note that in order to blow a good smoke ring, you will need to create dense smoke.  Draw a deep, dense smoke puff into your mouth.  Hold the smoke there and then open your mouth slowly and deliberately.  Open your mouth, shaping your lips into a rounded 'O.' and pull your tongue back as you expel the smoke. 

Keep in mind that you are not exhaling the smoke, but simply pushing it out of your mouth.  Also keep in mind that this maneuver will not work if there is even a slight breeze in the air.  Make sure you try it in a location with still calm air.

Fighting the Beetles: Protecting Your Cigars from Infestation

Your cigar box may be at risk of a secret predator.  Many cigar aficionados have been shocked and repulsed at finding their treasured cigars infested with Lasioderma Serricorne, also known as tobacco beetles.  This dreaded beetle feeds on your precious cigars.  They don't care if your cigars are drugstore mass-market brands, or imported beauties. 

What is the tobacco beetle, and where does it come from?  The tobacco beetle exits in all countries where tobacco is produced.  It thrives on tobacco plants, infesting their leaves before it is processed.  Tobacco beetles thrive in hot climates, and especially in the warm countries Caribbean countries where much of the world's tobacco is produced.  Tobacco beetles lay larvae that are white and up to 4 mm long.  When the larvae hatch, they produce moths that proceed to hungrily eat their way through the tobacco leaves.  Unfortunately, the tobacco beetle has been known to survive the process of fermentation and production that is used to make most cigars. Although many countries have made the effort to rid their tobacco crops of this dreaded pest, mostly by spraying crops with gases, the tobacco beetle has proven highly resistant. 

If the tobacco beetle survives into the finished product, many cigar enthusiasts may open their cigar boxes to find that their cigars have been eaten through.  Sometimes the presence of the tobacco beetle can be detected through the presence of small puncture-like holes on the wrapper.  The holes can make an average cigar resemble a flute. 

What can you do if you find your cigars infested with the tobacco beetle?  Research has shown that your microwave may be your best defense in destroying the tobacco beetle larvae.  Before using your microwave, remove and dispose of any infested cigar from your collection.  The rest of your cigars can be treated.  In order to rid the remaining of your collection of this pest, you should make sure to microwave your cigars together, never individually.  Microwave them for about three minutes.  After being warmed, immediately place the cigars into the freezer.  After freezing them for 24 hours, remove them and allow them to thaw at room temperature.  After they have thawed completely, place them in a humidor.  This treatment has proven effective in removing the presence of the tobacco beetle.  Before removing a cigar from the humidor to be smoked, examine each cigar individually.  If the cigar shows no evidence of infestation, it is safe to smoke.

Drugstore Cigars: A Good Buy?

The sheer diversity of cigars can be confusing for new smokers.  Many new smokers want to know:  is it OK to buy cigars from their local drugstore or chain store?  What is the quality of these cigars?  Can you expect to get good flavor from these cigars?

While of course, it's perfectly OK to purchase these cigars, be aware that these packaged cigars are usually of poorer quality.  Most 'drugstore' cigars contain preservative or other non-tobacco ingredients.  Common ingredients found in packaged cigars may include paper, Glycerin, and saltpeter.  High quality cigars will contain only tobacco.  Packaged drugstore cigars will generally contain these extra ingredients designed to keep them stored on the shelves for extended periods of time. 

In order to get the best quality cigars, you will have to visit your local tobacconist.  While many mail order businesses do carry good quality cigars, be aware that they usually will not sell singles, thus you will have to purchase whole boxes.  Visiting your local tobacconist allows you to test different brands before settling on a box.

Cigars vs. Cigarettes: Which is worse for Your Health?

Most everyone has heard about the health risks of smoking both cigars and cigarettes, and the dangers of secondhand smoke.  But which is worse?  Do cigar smokers really have the advantage over cigarettes smokers?  The answer is much more complicated than anyone ever thought.

A Matter of Degree

Research from the National Cancer Institute indicates that the health risks posed by both cigarettes and cigars are strongly linked to frequency of use.  That is, it's not whether you smoke cigarettes or cigars, but how much and how often you consume them.  Individuals who smoke cigarettes on a daily basis are at a greater risk of developing cancer than people who smoke the occasional cigar.  That said, evidence indicates that cigars contain many more carcinogens than cigarettes.  It also appears that cigar smoke is more toxic than cigarette secondhand smoke.  Much of this is due to the fact that cigars are bigger than cigarettes, and thus produce more smoke. 

To Inhale or Not?

Debate has also concentrated on the issue of inhaling nicotine from cigars and cigarettes.  Dedicated cigar enthusiasts argue that cigars are less dangerous than cigarettes because they don't require you to inhale as much toxins.  The National Cancer Institute's research indicates that both cigar and cigarette smokers are exposed to carcinogens, regardless of whether they inhale or not.  Even without inhaling, smokers are still exposing their mouths, tongues, larynxes, and throats to carcinogens.  In fact, simply holding an unlit cigar or cigarette between your lips can expose you to carcinogens.  Furthermore, when saliva comes in contact with a cigar or cigarette, even momentarily, carcinogens are swallowed.  When carcinogens are swallowed, the throat, larynx, and esophagus further become exposed to these toxins and irritants.  Cigarette and cigar smokers appear to swallow similar amounts of carcinogens, resulting in approximately the same percentage of risk in developing oral and esophageal cancers. 

Research indicates that the health risks associated with both cigars and cigarettes may be reduced if the degree inhalation is adjusted.  Because most cigarette smokers tend to inhale deeply and smoke on a regular basis, they are at higher risk of developing cancer of the larynx. To get an idea of how inhalation of smoke relates to health risks, the National Cancer Institute tells us that the lung cancer risk of someone who smokes five cigars a day and inhales moderately has about the same risk as someone who someone who smokes one pack of cigarettes a day.

Cigar Smoking Etiquette

Smoking cigars may be a great source of pleasure in your life, but the courteous smoker knows that not everyone enjoys the taste (or smell!) of a good Cuban.  With the fervor of anti-smoking campaigns still in full swing, the importance of enjoying a good stogie while not offending others cannot be stressed enough.  Simply remember that while you are smoking a cigar, it can be difficult to gauge the smell that others are experiencing.  And don't forget that cigar smokes can leave a mighty strong residue on clothing, furniture, and even the walls!  In order to enjoy your stogie without a heavy conscience, learn to become a considerate and courteous cigar smoker.

If you live with non-smokers, try to find a well-ventilated area of your residence where you can smoke comfortably.  Although it may be tempting to lock yourself away in an office or bedroom, it's probably not a good idea to smoke in an enclosed area unless it has a window.  Make sure you have easy access to the window.  Never smoke in a closed area!  You are more likely to inhale the toxic air from your own cigar.  If possible, go outside to smoke.  Pull up a lawn chair; relax on the porch, or any other open area where you can smoke comfortably.  Get as far away as possible to non-smokers, especially children and the elderly.  Remember that cigar smoke contains many carcinogens that can be easily inhaled by non-smokers.

If you must smoke a cigar outside your home, remember that the courteous and respectful smoker will only light up where legally permitted.  Do no light up in a bar, hotel, or restaurant where smoking is clearly prohibited.  The courteous cigar smoker will also make sure to smoke in the company of other smokers.  If you are with someone who does not smoke, ask his or her permission.  If they agree, be considerate about it.  Make sure the smoke isn't wafting in their direction.  Sit near an open window or space.  Make sure the air conditioner or current is moving the smoke in their direction!  Also, make sure no one around you is eating.  The secondhand smoke from a discourteous smoker is a surefire way to ruin a meal. 

A courteous cigar smoker will also be aware of their ashes.  If you must smoke outside your home, make certain to dispose of your ashes in a safe and appropriate container.  Don't forget that ashes can easily blow away, especially in lower quality cigars.  Don't litter with ashes, and be careful they don't blow near anyone around you.

Cigar Smoking 101

What are the basics of cigar smoking?  How do you light a cigar?  How do you draw on the cigar properly?  Do you inhale?  What are the dos and don'ts of cigar smoking?  If you have ever pondered any of these questions, read on.  Here is a simple and accessible primer designed to help you gain familiarity with the sometimes confusing, always enigmatic world of cigar smoking. 

First Step:  Lighting Up

First, all new cigar smokers should learn how to properly light a cigar.  Use a clipper designed for cigars to clip off the edge of the head (the section you put to your mouth). If possible light the foot of your cigar with a cedar match.  Avoid regular cigarette lighters.  They produce a nasty odor that can linger and ruin a good cigar.  If you must use a lighter, use butane lighter.  These will keep the odor to a minimum.  However, you should always strive to use a wooden match because lighters can easily taint the foot of your cigar.  How do you light up?  Simply strike a match and hold the edge of your cigar over the flame.  Avoid touching the cigar to the fire, simply hold the cigar over the flame and draw deeply until the cigar is lit.

Second Step:  Burn it down to a nub?

Should you burn your cigar down to a nub?  Experts recommend you leave at least two inches to your cigar.  Even the finest cigars will tend to get bitter if you let it burn all the way down.  What about ashes?  Should you knock the ashes off of your cigar?  Rather than knocking the ashes off the edge, let the cigar rest in the ashtray when you're not smoking it.  The ashes will fall off naturally. 

Third Step:  Relax and Enjoy

A cigar should never be rushed.  By design, cigars should be savored, preferably after dinner and with a glass of good brandy.  Hold the cigar between your thumb and fingers—anything else might be considered bad taste.  Also, don't inhale deeply.  The smoke should not reach your lung.  This is very bad for your health, and it will not help you taste the cigar any better.  Of course, you should always be considerate of those around you.  If possible, smoke in the company of other cigar smokers. A good cigar can be enjoyed alone and even more so with friends.

Choosing the Best Ashtray for Cigar Smoking

Is an ashtray just an ashtray?  Unlike regular cigarettes, cigars need their own special space to support their girth and ashes.  Many cigar aficionados swear by the pleasures of finding the proper place to hold their cigars and ashes.

So what are the characteristics of a good ashtray?  First of course, make sure the ashtray you buy is big enough to hold your cigars.  Cigars come in varying sizes, so you will want an ashtray that can accommodate the single of your choice.  Next, consider your personal style of smoking.  Do you produce a lot of ash?  Do you let your cigar rest for extended periods of time?  These are all important considerations when choosing your ashtray.

Look for ashtrays made of metal, heavy glass, or ceramics.   Ideally, you will want the ashtray to be big enough to hold the ashes for two cigars. 

Where can you find the best ashtrays for your cigars?  Many cigar aficionados swear by antique ashtrays.  Search out flea markets and antique stores for good deals.  Tobacco shops, mail order catalogues, and Internet shops are also good places to look.

Check the Ashtray:  Using Ashes to Determine the Quality of Your Cigar

How to tell if your cigar is of the highest quality?  Check the ashtray—the ashes left behind can speak volumes about the quality of your cigar.  Here a few simple tips to determining the quality of your cigar. 

First, note how fast your cigar burns.  A cigar that seems to burn too quickly or disposes ashes that break apart easily is probably a lower quality cigar.  If the ashes seem too messy, and don't break apart together, this may also indicate a lower quality cigar.  Also, check the color of the ashes.  If the ash color seems to change, the tobacco leaf mix may be of poorer quality. 

The highest quality cigars, those that are well packed, will burn very slowly and burn stiff ash.  The 'stiff ash' can remain intact up to two to three inches long, and remain on the cigar without breaking apart.  A high quality cigar can be burned down to the nub.  Even high quality cigars may vary in taste, especially when they are smoked down to the nub.  Many times, you can usually get 'burn past' these bitter spots by letting the cigar burn on its own for a few minutes.

All Styles and Sizes: The Basic Types of Cigars

For the new smoker, the different styles and sizes of cigars can seem mind-boggling.  It helps to know that all cigars can be divided into two broad categories:  parejos and figurados.

Parejos refers to cigars that are basically straight.  They are subdivided into three categories:  coronas, panatelas, and lonsdales.  Coronas come in a variety of styles and famous brands.  They are known as cigars with an 'open foot' (or tip) and a rounded head.  Panatelas are generally longer than coronas, are thinner.  Lonsdales are also longer than coronas, but are thinner than panatelas. 

The second basic category consists of the figurados.  Figurados refers to cigars with that are irregular or somehow hand-shaped so that they are not strictly straight.  The smallest type of figurados is the belicoso cigars, which are known for a larger foot and a smaller, rounded head. Another basic figurado cigar is the pyramid, which have pointed heads that taper to a large foot.  The perfecto is a figurado cigar that is tapered on both the head and foot, with a thinner middle.  The largest figurado is the diademas, known as the 'giant' of cigars because it is always eight inches or longer.

A Short History of Cigars and Tobacco

Have you ever wondered where cigars were first produced?  It is widely believed that cigars were first produced in Spain.  But before cigars became all the rage in Europe, tobacco was needed to make them.  Tobacco is indigenous to the Americas, where native peoples have produced it for hundreds of years.  It is believed that the Maya of Yucatan peninsula in Mexico and parts of Central America cultivated tobacco, and even smoked it!  Tobacco use spread to other tribes, both north and south.  It is believed that its first use in the United States was probably among the tribe along the Mississippi.  It wasn't until Christopher Columbus sailed his famous voyage to the Americas in 1492 that the rest of the world came to know tobacco.

It is said that Columbus was not impressed by tobacco or its use among native peoples, but many sailors grew found of the strange plant.  Soon it quickly caught on in Spain and Portugal.  From there, it spread to France, where the French ambassador Jean Nicot lent his name to the scientific name for tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum).  The origins of the word tobacco itself are still suspect, although many believe it is simply a corruption of the word Tobago, which is the name of a Caribbean island.  Still others believe it comes from the word Tabasco, a region (and now state) in Mexico. 

The first tobacco plantation in the United States was established in Virginia in 1612.  More tobacco plantations followed in Maryland soon after.  Although tobacco became a popular crop, it was only smoked in pipes.  The cigar was not introduced to the United States until the late 18th century.  Israel Putnam, an army general who had served in the Revolutionary War, is credited with introducing the cigar to the United States.  He had traveled to Cuba after the Revolutionary War and returned with a box of Cuban cigars.  Their popularity quickly spread, and soon enough cigar factories were established in the area of Harford, Connecticut, where General Putnam resided. 

In Europe, cigar production and consumption did not achieve widespread popularity until after the Peninsula War in the early 19th century.  British and French veterans returned to their homelands after years of serving in Spain with their tobacco pipes in tow.  Among the rich and fashionable, the favored method of taking tobacco was the cigar.  Cigar smoking remains a habit associated with the rich and discriminating of upper society.

4 Tips for Lighting a Cigar

For new smokers, lighting a cigar can seem as daunting as learning to choose a good single.  Here are four tips to guide you in lighting a cigar for the first time.

1.  Use cedar matches, if possible.  If you prefer to use a lighter, make sure it's butane lighter to avoid strong odors. 

2.  Warm the open end of the cigar (aka 'the foot' of the cigar) slowly over the flame, without touching it to the fire.  Let a black ring form around the end.

3.  Place the cigar in your mouth and draw in slowly.  Hold the cigar over the flame, about half an inch above it, again without touching.  Continue to draw in until the cigar draws the flame.   Turn the cigar slowly, spinning it to establish an even burn.

4.  Once your cigar is lit, take it out of your mouth and observe the burn you have established.  If the burn appears to be uneven, simply blow on the unlit sections to draw the burn, and then take one or two draws from the cigar to reestablish an even burn.

The Health Risks of Cigar Smoking

We have all heard of the risks associated with smoking cigarettes, but what are the risks of cigar smoking?  Are the risks of smoking cigars just as dangerous, or more so?  According to the National Cancer Instituted, regular cigar smoking can result in a major health threat.  Scientific research has linked cigar smoking with cancers of the larynx, lungs, esophagus, and oral cavity.  Newer research also indicates that cigar smoking may be strongly linked to the development of cancer in the pancreas.  Doctors also caution that individuals who regularly inhale while enjoying a cigar are also at greater risk of developing lung disease and heart problems.

The health threats of cigar smoking appear to increase dramatically in those individuals who smoke regularly and inhale while smoking.  Someone who smokes three to four cigars each day will him or herself at eight times the risk of developing some kind of oral cancer than a nonsmoker.  Unfortunately, we do not yet know the health risks of smoking the occasional cigar.  It seems clear however that smoking cigars on a daily basis can pose serious health risks. 

Many individuals wonder if cigars are as addictive as cigarettes. Many wonder why, for instance, so many people become addicted to cigarettes, and not cigars?  The truth is that any tobacco product can become addictive because it contains nicotine.  Witness the effects of smokeless tobacco products on individuals.  These products, such as chewing tobacco, can become very addictive, simply because they contain tobacco, which in turn contains nicotine.  Many cigar smokers do not inhale deeply, thus causing the nicotine to be inhaled superficially.  Cigarette smokers tend to inhale, causing the nicotine to be absorbed faster and more readily by the lungs.  Even though most cigar smokers inhale the nicotine more superficially, it is still possible to become addicted if the user smokes cigars on a regular basis. 

If nicotine is so addictive, why don't more cigar smokers smoke more often?  It appears that more people avoid becoming 'hooked' on cigars for several reasons.  The most obvious reason is that the nicotine is inhaled much more superficially than in regular cigarette smoking, causing less nicotine to be absorbed by the body.  Also, cigars are not as readily accessible as cigarettes.  They are viewed by most as a luxury item, saved for special occasions and used infrequently.  However, when cigars are smoked on a regular basis, they can become addictive.  The health risks of any kind of smoking increase dramatically as frequency of use increases.

Early-onset nephrolithiasis tied to frequent stone recurrences
20 Apr 2020, 02:00 PM  

Individuals who develop stones prior to age 20 years are at high risk of having frequent recurrences, with the risk even more pronounced in women, a study has found.

The analysis included 1,140 patients enrolled in the Registry for Stones of the Kidney and Ureter (ReSKU). Researchers collected data on patient age, gender, body mass index (BMI), family history, race, income, infectious symptoms and number of prior stone episodes. None of the patients had a history of cystinuria stones.

A total of 472 patients had recurrent stones, among whom 66 had their first episode prior to the age of 20 years. Univariate analysis showed that early stone formers were more likely to present at a younger age, be female and have more prior stone episodes at baseline.

Analysis controlled for potential confounders confirmed that early-onset nephrolithiasis was associated with female gender and frequent stone episodes. On the other hand, late stone formers were more likely to have greater BMI (>30 kg/m2).

The present data underscore the importance of close follow-up and surveillance of early stone formers due to the increased rate of recurrence, the researchers said, noting that adult stone databases focusing on early presentations may help improve understanding of paediatric stone disease.

From Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque -

On the call to extend the nationwide unilateral ceasefire

The call for peace is everyone's desire and it has become more urgent in the present state of calamity and public health emergency.

We find it, however, unfortunate that the members of the New People's Army (NPA) themselves violated their own declaration of truce in the form of violent armed encounters with government troops. They even forcibly seized relief goods last April 7 intended for Barangay Guinmayohan residents in Balangiga, Eastern Samar, affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

On whether government would extend the unilateral ceasefire, this matter is something the National Task Force on Ending Local Armed Conflict can discuss with the President.

Bohol Latest News / No Sail Policy in Bohol

Yap dangles P20K to tipsters
on 'No Sail Policy' violators

CORTES, Bohol April 18, (PIA)—With all the rumors spreading through the social media grave vine about violators successfully slipping in through the dragnet spread by the joint forces guarding out shores, the Provincial Government is dangling a P20,000 bounty to anyone who could report and positively pinpoint any violator to authorities.

The move came amidst instigations and speculations that many have slipped through Bohol from Cebu City, which is now a hot zone with plenty of coronavirus disease confirmed cases. 

In a bid to secure Bohol from getting the virus that has been causing world economies to fall, Bohol Governor Arthur Yap issued Executive Order No. 8, series of 2020, which in essence, stopped domestic and international air and sea travel of passengers to Bohol, except cargoes that bring food supply and sustain the economy here.

This too as the National Government, after President Rodrigo Duterte issued Proclamation 922, declaring a state of Public Health Emergency across the country, triggered intensified government responses which include community quarantines and disease control provisions.

While police and army officials ordered the setting up of community quarantines and strict stay at home orders with travel restrictions already imbedded in the aggressive disease-spread-control, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) initiated a No-Sail Policy which started in Manila Bay and spread across the country when local government units requested for it to help contain the spreading pandemic.

With EO No. 8 in Bohol, the PCG, the Philippine National Police Tourist Police, the Regional Mobile Group and the Philippine Army with a complementation of barangay officials and citizens initiated measures to implement the governor's order as well as secure Bohol from possible spread of the contamination already claiming lives in nearby Visayan islands. 

With Bohol strengthening its shores for possible landing, not by large vessels but by ordinary fishermen carrying with them passengers from Cebu, Police Colonel Jonathan Cabal, in an interview said he has ordered the PNP Bohol Tourist Police reinforce the police and the PCG and army guarding the coasts facing Cebu.

However, insinuations of people still slipping through Bohol also came while coast guards report occasional interceptions and apprehensions.

Earlier, there were reports that Governor Arthur Yap has put up P10,000 bounty to anyone who could pinpoint a violator, but no reports came out about anybody claiming the cash pot.

This, despite widespread reports about people literally "clawing each other" to get the P6,000 Special Amelioration Program of the government. 

This too, as rumors and instigations of travel restriction violations continued to be shared and re-shared on social media, further increasing the apprehension that people may really have sneaked through.

According to one of the Provincial Government's maintained face book pages GOBOHOL.COM, the provincial government is giving P20,000 cash reward to those who can report boats which have violated Executive Order 8-A and the PCG No Sail Policy.

It said the incentive which the local government would give to the tipster who could give important information that could help authorities go after those who do not follow the policy.

Accordingly, Governor Yap said the new policy has been relayed to Police Provincial Director Jonathan Cabal who has also instructed his municipal chiefs of police of the strict implementation of the orders.

"People who will be caught coming in to Bohol illegally in violation of our quarantine will be [proceeded] sic against criminally, the boat will be impounded, and the owner of the boat will be charged as well.

If a big ship with a franchise is caught ferrying passengers illegally in violation of our quarantine, we will file a case against the company and move for cancellation of the boat's franchise," Yap reportedly said.

The shared information however did not contain mechanics of the incentive, like whether it also applies to those who have slipped earlier. (rahchiu/PIA-7/Bohol)

Nagpapasalamat ang Bagong Henerasyon Party-list sa Department of Trade and Industry, Energy Regulatory Commission, PLDT, at Smart sa pagtalima sa ating suhestiyon na gawing installment o staggered ang mga bayarin.

Nagpapasalamat din kami sa NEA sa exemption sa lifeline electricity consumers ng mga electric cooperatives.

DTI ordered the staggering of business rent payments over a period of six months in equal installments. DTI also imposed a nationwide price freeze on key commodities.

We especially appreciate the ERC and NEA moves because they are not mandated in the Bayanihan Act to provide relief measures but they did it anyway. We admire them for their compassion.

We are hoping the other regulatory agencies like HLURB, NTC, and LWUA, companies like Globe Telecom and the internet service providers to follow suit with policies on accounts payables of consumers during the COVID-19 quarantine period.

Looming over the horizon are school enrollment expenses. We appeal to the CHED and DepEd to freeze all tuition and school fees to pre-COVID-19 levels.

We also ask the education agencies, IATF, DBM, and DOF to double or triple funding for education vouchers and scholarships to keep students from dropping out of school. The vouchers can be in the form of conditional education cash grants. (END)

Press Release Philippines / Abu Sayyaf Killed
April 18, 2020, 06:04:15 PM
3 ASG Members Killed, 8 Wounded during Military's Pursuit Operations in Sulu

The operating troops of the 5th Scout Ranger Battalion (5SRB) under Lieutenant Colonel Herbert D. Dilag of the 1101st Infantry Brigade, 11th Infantry Division clashed with the elements of Abu Sayyaf Group at Sitio Lihnub, Brgy. Buhanginan, Patikul, Sulu, around 2 o'clock in the afternoon on April 16, 2020.

The 5SRB's 4th Scout Ranger Company encountered more or less forty (40) fully armed men confirmed under ASG leaders Radullan Sahiron and Hatib Hadjan Sawadjaan. Reinforcements from 15th Scout Ranger Company also encountered the same group about a kilometer away from the first encounter site with a firefight that lasted around forty-five (45) minutes.

Said clashes were supported by 21st Infantry and 9th Field Artillery Battalions that resulted to 11 ASG casualties which 3 of them were killed, and the recovery of an assault rifle, one grenade launcher, assorted ammunitions, cellphones, solar panels, personal belongings and other subversive documents.

Three of the operating troops suffered minor injuries during the incident and were immediately brought to Camp General Teodulfo Bautista Station Hospital for treatment.

The encounter was the result of continuous efforts of Brigadier General Antonio G. Nafarrete, AFP, Commander of 1101st Infantry Brigade following the clash of the 6th Special Forces Battalion on April 4, 2020 at So Gabang, Brgy. Kaunayan, Patikul, Sulu. Brigadier General Nafarrete assured that the Brigade will continuously hunt the ASG in order to maintain safety, peace, and security in the communities in his area of responsibility particularly in the Municipality of Patikul, Sulu.

Major General Corleto S. Vinluan Jr., AFP, Commander of 11th Infantry Division re-assured that the momentum to eradicate ASG in Sulu will continue amidst the presence of another concern brought about by the seriously confronted pandemic. "Our intent is for the soldiers to protect the people and the local government units who are currently delivering basic services to the community in line with the AFP mandates and guidelines in addressing the situation concerning COVID-19," he said.

DOE Updates Power Sector Payment Guidelines for Extended ECQ Period

TAGUIG CITY – Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi signed a Memorandum on Thursday (16 April 2020) directing all concerned power sector participants, including private and public corporations, local government units (LGUs), as well as consumers to continue implementing and adhering to existing guidelines on the deferment of payments of obligations and dues relative to the extension of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in Luzon, which was extended until 30 April 2020.

"We at the Department of Energy will continue to adopt all necessary measures to help our community partners, stakeholders, and power consumers during and after the ECQ. Having access to power services is extremely critical during this national public health emergency, so we hope that these guidelines will allay at least some of the worries of the members of the energy family," Secretary Cusi said.

Among the salient features of the memorandum include:

• provision of a grace period for the payment of consumers' electricity bills without interests, penalties, fees, and charges falling within the initial and extended ECQ period. The payments shall be amortized in four equal installments, payable in the first four months following the end of the ECQ;

• provision of a similar grace period for all public and private power sector corporations on the payments and obligations due, universal charges, total trading amounts and other relevant charges falling within the original and extended ECQ period.

This includes payments due to the National Power Corporation, National Transmission Corporation, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, Power Sector and Liabilities Management Corporation, Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines, as well as the fuel/resource suppliers of generating facilities and independent power producers;

• the suspension of the payment of the Feed-in Tariff allowance for another billing period; and

• the payment of contenstable customers' obligations with their retail electricity suppliers during the original and extended ECQ shall be according to the negotiated terms of both parties. Nevertheless, the Energy Department encourages all concerned parties to adopt a similar grace period scheme.

The DOE also called on LGUs to give consideration to energy facilities in their respective jurisdictions by likewise extending a grace period in collecting applicable taxes, fees, and obligation dues.

On 18 March 2020, the DOE issued an initial memo to power sector corporations regarding the deferment of payments and obligation dues for 30 days after the end of the ECQ period originally set on 14 April 2020.

From FB Repost: No country in the world was ever prepared for this pandemic not even the US in spite of all its superiority and arrogance. Not even Singapore and Japan who thought all the while that they were successful already in fighting covid19 but are now suffering already on the 2nd wave covid19 transmission. These countries are way advanced and powerful than RP. COVID19 antidote is still an ambition to them just like in ours. in my personal view, God is sending us a message that,  indeed, its "`Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty, Zechariah 4:6

Inspiration & Hope / World on Quarantine
April 15, 2020, 01:38:34 PM
Repost from FB
WORLD QUARANTINE
Prepare to see big and hidden things that you don't know...

1. 40 days the flood lasted .
2. 40 years the Exodus lasted.
3. Jesus was tempted after 40 days of fasting
4. After his Crucifiction, Christ appeared to his disciples for 40 days.

The quarantine that the government commands was a fortnight, now fortnight more, and not literal 40 days, but the number 40 specifically in the Bible that is the word of God, has great meaning:
40 days are the ones that recommend the woman to rest after giving birth.
So what about the Bible and number 40?

A group of theologians say number 40 represents "CHANGE", is the time of preparation of a person or people to give a fundamental change, something will happen after these 40 days.
In the manual book of the tabernacle it says number 40 means: Test number finished in Victoria or in defeat.

If the quarantine to which some governments of the world are sending lasts 40 days literally, I would like to take advantage of 40 days to be with my family, return to fasting, prayer and reading the Word of God in a deeper way ......

We've seen that:

1. Rivers are cleaning up
2. Vegetation is growing.
3. The air is cleaner by
cause less pollution.
4. Less robberies. I love you so much
5. Minus murders.
6. The earth is at rest for the first time in many years.

I would like to take advantage of these 40 days to invite you to enjoy this time with yours, and return to the family altar together, it will be of much blessing, and you will see the changes that God can work in all, you will see that love God ALL things help them for good.

We are in the year 2020 that equals 20 + 20 = 40, the enemy wants to destroy us but we know that God is in control of all things.

We must continue praying, praising, meditating on the Lord and putting our faith and hope in whom all can: the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF Lords. I love you so much.

40 days until the spiritual liberation of our nation.

The best is yet to come

Written is... Check everything and hold the good...

We beg you Lord, amen

If you believe, SHARE!!! DON ' T BREAK THE RULES, , TAKE 60 SECONDS Leave your #AMEN and #C0MPART this message in 8 Different Groups In a short time you will have made numerous people pray to God , for each other. Then sit back and watch the power of God working in your life. Thank you, God bless
