As we journeyed through the streets of Havana, we were culturally stimulated by the architecture, music and latin flavor that seemed to be abound. Fernando and I were eager to experience Havana's Cultural Art Center later that evening. Although we were sad to see the warm, tropical sun tucking in for the day, our stroll towards the art center proved to be intriguing. Men were dressed in long black linen, wearing flat brimmed hats, biting on their half smoked cigars. Women were adorned in colorful flowing dresses that seemed to dance through the night. We thought about what a perfect fit our cigar bar would be, directly in the middle of the city. The documentary film informed us of the hundreds of different cigar cargo ships from around the world and inspired us even more. We needed to expand our infatuation with cigaros which led us to a sweet smelling fumar shop. After finalizing our purchases, we rolled our cigars, lit them and slowly walked into the evening. As we moved through the streets and the barios of Havana, we felt liberated as if we were part of a family. We took in more of the aromatic flavor the cuban tobacco had to offer, meandered and let our business thought simmer.
