Mile 0: The beginning or end..
Cigar Town, USA
A video shot at a small cigar factory at Miami's famous 8th St. In La Calle Ocho is where most of Cuban exiles choose to have their factories or at least a token front when dealing with cigars. Tobacco is planted the world over and cigars are rolled everywhere that plant is harvested but for reasons I'm sure many people are unaware of, Cuba has an overwhelming preponderance when it comes to tobacco and particularly cigar's topmost quality. Connoisseurs say the tobacco from this island is the best there is and name the plants, soil and microclimate as the main reasons. But debatable as these may be there is little doubt on who makes the best cigars in America. Another elusive dictum is why Cubans choose Miami as their Cosa Nostra. It can't be just geographical proximity (the city of Key West is about 130 miles closer). But the thing is this is the city where you can find the best Cuban made cigars, and in all of Miami, in La Ocho is where you find them en masse.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Sandy Cobas, owner of El Titán de Bronze for so graciously allowing me to invade her factory and so patiently field my obnoxious questioning. I would also like to thank all of her generous staff that unflinchingly went around their normal business with a short focal lens camera over their heads, arms and shoulders and a blinding LED light shinning on their eyes. Special thanks to Don José Paredes for taking so much time to explain me the ins and outs of the shop. Thanks also to Luis Gallardo, Pedro Vázquez, Orlando Guerra, Juan Manuel Díaz and Martica Payán whom make the magic happen. Last but not least, thanks to my dear brother-in-law, Laurent Lecuyer, for so disinterestedly providing me with the better 50% of this film in the form of the gorgeous score that is a work in progress of his, soon to appear in a new album by a famous Venezuelan Jazz singer.

Over half a century ago, what started as a dream became a reality, what was reality became a legacy…….A family legacy that will continue throughout history…
In 1947, Angel and Daniela Rodriguez began the masterful art of cultivating tobacco on their private plantation in the town of Siguaney. The tobacco plantation was called, La Finca de Carmencita. Located in the Las Villas province of Cuba, La Finca de Carmencita specialized in growing, aging, and curing filler tobacco leaves for numerous manufacturers throughout Cuba. By 1952, La Finca Carmencita employed over 20 workers and grew over 120,000 pounds of tobacco annually. Eight years later, the Cuban government nationalized the private plantation and the Rodriguez family was forced to immigrate to the United States. In 1971, the Rodriguez family found a new beginning on the beautiful island of Key West and established the Rodriguez Cigar Factory. Founded in 1984, we stand as the oldest operating cigar manufacturer in the Florida Keys. Rodriguez Cigars are exclusively constructed with vintage leaves that have been cured, aged and constructed through the traditional Cuban manufacturing process.
With over 67 years of being in the tobacco industry our primary mission still, and will always remains the same…To deliver a premium, consistent product enriched with the Cuban Heritage.
The Rodriguez family would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our loyal customers worldwide. We appreciate your continued support over the past 28 years, and it is because of you that we strive to manufacture a quality product that’s worthy to enjoy during the special moments that life has to offer.

POKER & SUN IN THE CONCH REPUBLIC
What a weekend in the sun with very few sprinkles in Key West this past weekend. For over 40-years the Key West Poker Run that draws thousands of bikers to the Southernmost City happened automagically, as its founder was often quoted. That's what dad always said every year, said Drew Peterson, son of the bike rally's original organizer, Phil Peterson, owner of Peterson's Harley-Davidson of Miami. In in the early days, it just sort of happened and dad would say at the last minute, 'Hey, it's poker run time again.'
This is the 40th anniversary of one of South Florida's most fashionable motorcycle runs that began with only 42 riders in 1972. Just three years later, the run attracted 300 riders, Peterson said. Now it typically attracted up to 10K motorcyclists, to Key West's hotels, bars and restaurants. The poker run now raises about $80K a year for the Key West Sunrise Rotary and Diabetes Research Center. It has become a tradition every third week of September for riders across Florida as well as motorcyclists out of state, and continues to put much-needed cash into business coffers during one of the slowest month of the year for Key West.
Peterson's business partner and Key West resident Mike Horn altered the date of the event 21 years ago from August to September after hearing that the event wasn't impacting local businesses much, he said. They've been booked solid ever since, Horn said.
One of the biggest events within the Poker run was the motorcycle Bike Show where bike builders register their creative motorcycles to win the top coveted trophy. The show is held by the Big Bike Riders Children's Foundation, headquarter in Fort Lauderdale, FL. There were 85 motorcycles registered for the contest vying for the number one spot. Over 25 motorcycle categories and 75+ awards to boot. One whole block of prime real estate was closed off for the show from Sloppy Joes' Bar to the end of the Bull Bar.
Motorcycle enthusiasts from as far as California drooled over the creative artistic looks of the motorcycles. All the monies raised went to the Diabetes Research Center and the Key West Rotary Club. This is the 9th year the event has been held. All of the organizers and supporters expect next year to be their biggest year to date banking on its 10th year anniversary. The writer for the War Room, Gabriel Carrera, is diabetic and appreciates the financial efforts going towards a cure.
Big Bike Riders Children's Foundation mission statement starts off as: Big Bike Riders Foundation will provide the needed assets in the form of in-kind or financial assistance to help the children of our south Florida communities. Purpose: Big Bike Riders Foundation will focus its efforts on creating smiles on the faces of the children and organizations we serve. Ron Catronio, one of the big dogs at Big Bike Riders was pleased with this year's event. Although the proceeds is currently being tallied he expects the amount to surpass last year's charity funds raised. If you want more information on the Big Bike Rider's Children Foundation you can find them on the web at: bigbikeriders.org
Another event was the poker run that the majority of the people rode in for. Upon registering, each participant receives a poker sheet and weekend parking pass. Drivers of cars, motorcycles, boats, and trucks also took part in the poker run. The poker game began at at 8 a.m. Friday, Sept. 14, Poker Run participants are to ride the Overseas Highway from Miami to Key West, stopping at designated points to get their cards. Entrants who end up with the 10 best poker hands are qualified to play in a winner-take-all round of Texas Hold 'Em, playing to win a new Harley-Davidson 883 Sportster Iron motorcycle or $6,000 cash. The high-stakes round is set for 11 p.m. Saturday at Cowboy Bill's Saloon, 610 Duval St.
The weather cooperated with the event with only a few light showers on Friday and no day time showers on Saturday. As I was walking around Key West many of the locals thanked me for coming down. They stated that the economy had hurt Key West's economy and that is was great for us to come and spend our cash in their home town. I guess the Obama economy has hurt even the most beautiful island of Florida. I can't wait for next year's run to go down and try my poker hand luck. This year I bought two hands.....I only scored a pair of fives.
