ASCERS,
The time vortex is opening, a mystical time.
With 72 hrs to go, it is time to review the history of the legends.
Summer of 1969
2 teens was to meet one was of extreme natural beauty of the day.
The other inner city teen, already working in the day.
They would spend the magical summer of 1969 together.
The beauty would model and the teen would show his megatropolis to her.
She would share her world, and her world would be known to him.
Then it was to be, one day her father would say it had to end.
That the destinies in life were not the same.
A fork in lives had become evident.
____________________________________________________________
So the teen would watch TV as the beauty blossomed via TV and movies.
He would remember her scent, her style and just the way she would look.
Yet, the sadness would last for a decade, the search as a
Teen, soldier, student, businessman.
Would not yield the beauty of a lost love.
Then the sadness, as the darkness became all consuming.
______________________________________________________________
A day of the miracle.
It was hot in the subway at 7pm.
There standing at the downtown.
It was magic, destiny or intervention of the gods.
A physic would say years later, there was much power between our souls
not normally seen in married couples. That either a previous life was
involved or divine intervention during this lifetime.
Such a beauty, other young men had taken notice of her, the radiance on
the platform was overwhelming.
There is no reasoning, why he would say hello to her, and she would
respond with a reassuring hello in a very cold NYC. That a ride of 6
subway stops would bond them together forever.
She would befit the most virtuous virgin the most untouched beauty.
The one that would turn heads without saying a word.
But in listening to an old song, it became apparent.
A gift of the gods was to be realized.
The following would fit this beauty
+ Please send a little girl for me to thrill
14 years old
+Venus, make her fair
Pure subtle skin.
+A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
Pure sheen of golden brown.
+And take the brightest stars up in the skies
and place them in her eyes for me
Young eyes with bewilderment of the world.
So enjoy this miracle celebration.
Light up your most valued cigar.
As sung so many years ago, yet so appropriate for these days.
Hey, Venus
Oh, Venus
Venus, if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
Venus, make her fair
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task
Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task
Venus if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live
Hey, Venus
Oh, Venus
Make my wish come true

On my way home from Australia, I had a two-hour layover in
Dubai and popped into the airside duty-free shop. They have
a large walk-in humidor, well-stocked with mostly Cuban
cigars. The range on offer was wide but did not include
limited edition smokes. All the cigars I inspected were in
excellent condition if slightly too moist for my tastes.
The shop attendant was helpful and had at least a passing
knowledge of cigars (always a plus). I was free to open any
box I chose -- not always a possibility in cigar stores, and
IME quite rare in duty-free shops. I left the place with
four boxes:
RyJ belicosos dress box from NOV04
666 Dirham = $181
(CoH $196)
San Luis Rey Regios dress box from FEB01
497 Dirham = $135
(CoH $150)
San Luis Rey Serie A dress box from ENE01
530 Dirham = $144
(CoH $168)
Upmann Connoisseur #1 half-cab from SEP03
519 Dirham = $141
(CoH $175)
As you can see by the comparison with CoH, prices are
extremely competitive. Perhaps even better, most of the
stock appeared to have several years of age -- an
unlooked-for but most welcome bonus.
If anyone is planning to travel to the Far East and is
undecided which airline or travel route to choose, stopping
over in Dubai may be worth taking into consideration.
Indeed! I have some nicely aged stock from there.
