Cigars and Other Passions by Hochstein Peter Hochstein,Peter Hochstein Pdf

NOT YOUR EVERYDAY CIGAR MOGUL For more than 60 years, Edgar Cullman was king of the cigar business. Whether it was top-of-the-line cigars like Macanudo and Punch or mass market products like White Owls, Tiparillos and Tijuana Smalls, Edgar influenced what people were puffing, the cigar jingles they were humming, where the cigars came from and how they were made. But Edgar also was - and at the age of 92 still is - more than just a cigar man. He built his career on a smorgasbord of businesses, among them plastics, packaging, potato chips, real estate and the world's bestknown laxative - all the while dealing, bantering and playing with an array of unforgettable characters. You'll learn about his father's whacky hobbies, the uncle who produced nearly all of a generation's best Broadway shows, a "terrifying" prep school headmaster, a Nazi secret agent, a daring pilot who escaped Nazi-occupied Holland and became Edgar's friend, and wise-cracking investment bankers and fellow philanthropists who express their camaraderie by taking one another down a notch. There's also a great love story here - Edgar's courtship and romance with Louise Bloomingdale that began in the 1930s and still goes strong today. CIGARS AND OTHER PASSIONS is about cementing relationships, building wealth, giving back to society and nurturing a marriage and family for more than 70 years, all the while having marvelous fun. "Cigars are my passion and Yale football is a close second!" - Edgar Cullman

The Cigar Song by Emir Lopez Pdf

"The Cigar Song is a must-read, inspiring and moving, to say the least!" -CARLOS FUENTE JR., President of the Fuente Companies "The tobacco plant comes from the ground, from the dust, and eventually, it returns back to the dust, but what happens in between is a complicated and fascinating process..." (A quote from the book) This book will change your life...! My hope and promise to you are that you will be a better person after reading it...! -EMIR LOPEZ, Author Are you ready to read a book that will push all your buttons? Well, here it is... The Cigar Song is the story of Jaime Colon, a retired baseball player who works as a representative of the Cuban national team. When he suddenly finds himself in a tough predicament after realizing he was living a lie his entire life, Jaime opens his eyes to the reality that he has denied the very core of his foundation as a man by never exercising his true passion, dreams, and aspirations in doing the job he suddenly hates. The role he plays for the team, an opportunistic position he only executes to enjoy the perks that come with the job, involves being a rat and a snitch for the Castro regime by ensuring that none of the players ever dare to defect while playing abroad. The position, however, also allows him a better life than that of most living in Cuba, so he copes with being a hypocrite against the foundation of who he truly is. Realizing he has a choice to make when he is abruptly faced with the most difficult decision and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that is when Jaime's core values, beliefs, and even his faith are tested in the blink of an eye. What will Jaime do? Will he risk losing his job, damaging his pristine character and integrity in the eyes of his countrymen, and possibly his life, in pursuit of his own personal ambitions and self-fulfillment? Or will he choose love for country and family instead? Hero or zero?

Smoker beyond the Sea by Juan José Baldrich Pdf

In this groundbreaking volume, Juan José Baldrich traces the deep changes affecting Puerto Rican tobacco growers and manufacturers and their export markets from the Spanish colonization of the island to the present. Based on more than twenty years of research in the United States and Puerto Rico, the book sheds light on the important history of tobacco in Puerto Rico while highlighting the people and practices that have indelibly shaped Puerto Rico and its culture. Smoker beyond the Sea: The Story of Puerto Rican Tobacco is a work of recovery that examines tobacco’s transitions from medicinal use to rolls fit for chewing and pipe smoking, followed by the appropriation of the Cuban paradigm for cigars and cigarettes, and, finally, to the US models after the 1898 invasion. This pioneering volume also offers the only history of the US tobacco monopoly in local agriculture and manufacture from its beginning in 1899 to the bankruptcy of its last successor company forty years later. Baldrich's extensive research documents the organization of the cigar and cigarette manufacturing sectors and the resulting development of trade unions and socialist ideals. This multidisciplinary investigation gives due attention to the modifications that farmers made to tobacco planting and harvesting techniques in fine-tuning plants to the expected aromas and tastes of the manufactured commodities. In addition, Baldrich pays considerable attention to gender relations in the labor process, not only in the manufacturing sector but also in tobacco agriculture. The book also provides the only narrative of the rise and maturity of the Hermanos Cheos, a powerful apocalyptical movement that began and spread in the tobacco growing regions. Ultimately, this encompassing volume fills a major gap in the histories of tobacco-producing islands in the Caribbean.

All Available Light by Judy Polumbaum Pdf

As a young journalist during the Red Scare of the early 1950s, Ted Polumbaum defied Congressional inquisitors and suffered the usual consequences--he was fired, blacklisted, and trailed by the FBI. Yet he survived with his integrity intact to build a new career as an intrepid photojournalist, covering some of the most critical struggles of the latter half of the 20th century. In this biography, written two decades after his death, his daughter introduces this quirky, accomplished, politically engaged family man of the "Greatest Generation," who was both of and ahead of his times. Polumbaum's fortitude, humor and optimism emerge, animated by the conscience of principled dissidence and social activism. His photography, with its unpretentious portrayals of the famous, the infamous, and the unsung heroes of humanity around the world, reflects his courage in the face of mass hysteria and his lifelong commitment to social justice.
