The Most Elegant and Prime Cigars in France

Aside from being comradely, brilliant, and hospitable, French are known to have various pastimes. They like going out, they love to binge, they enjoy sports, and they also want to just hang around with buddies as they puff the rich smoke of various exquisite cigarettes. France is known to produce and import various plush cigars from other countries like Cuba, that is why when I told my dad that I am planning a vacation to France, he told me to buy him some Cuban cigars available there.

I did some investigation about French and Cuban cigarettes and I found out that there are two Cuban cigars that are very known in France. There is the Bolivar Royal Corona, which French describe as impressive and flavorful. It is regarded as pretty refined with its cacao and pepper notes. It is quintessential and dudes just love having the taste of it. Another recognized Cuban cigarette in France is the Cohiba Robusto, which has a very obvious notes of cacao, pepper, wood, and wet earth.

I already budgeted my outlay for my trip and I allot money for my dad's fave cigars. I am so happy for my journey and I can't wait to go shopping in one of my most loved countries -- France.

A Grand Escape in the French Riviera

For a person who is fond of sunshine and pure beaches, the French Riviera is the perfect summer getaway. Personally, the French Riviera ranks second in my list of most wanted summer destinations, next to the exotic Caribbean. Whenever I go there for a trip, I always make it a point to visit Cannes, which in my opinion is one of the perfect cities for arts. If you're like me who enjoys music, arts, and any other forms of entertainment, I greatly recommend going to Cannes. This magnificent city is the absolute getaway for artists and people who long to have what people often call "musical awakening." Of course, this city is well-known for its annual fêted film festival, so it's also the ideal place if what you want is movie personality spotting.

For the various of times I've been in Cannes, I have always stayed at the illustrious and world-class Hotel Martinez. What I love most about this five-star hostel is its great location in the French Riviera--- it's just a stone's throw away from the beach and the Croisette Promenade. I also marvel at the Art Deco-inspired design touches of this building, as well as its classy interiors. With its wide lobby, shiny marble floors, glass walls, and elegant furnishings, Hotel Martinez is truly a wonderful place. Add to that its first-rate service and plenty convenient amenities, and you got yourself one of Europe's most superb hotels.
