Death Valley is known for being one of the harshest locations in the USA. It’s hot, it’s barren and it certainly wasn’t the location of the gold mine that was supposedly there and funding the construction of Albert Mussey Johnson’s vacation retreat. There wasn’t a gold mine, even though Johnson had invested in one.

When you get investors for a mining project you really should have a mine. Walter Scott had gotten Mr. Johnson to invest in the mine that was supposedly going to make them both rich. It was working for Mr. Scott until Mr. Johnson decided to come and see the mine for himself. With no mine to see it was impossible for him to get too excited about the mine.

Mr. Johnson and his wife decided that even though there wasn’t a mine in Death Valley they liked the area anyway. With that in mind they decided to build a vacation retreat. The retreat was named Death Valley Ranch but to those that were local and knew the story of Mr. Scott it was known as Scotty’s Castle.

The rich and famous came to the retreat when it became a tourist attraction. They wanted to see the retreat built by one of California’s richest gold miners. Of course, had he told that it wasn’t from the riches gained from the non-existent mine there wouldn’t have been nearly the attraction to it that there was at the time.

I was talking my friend John and he goes “What shapes do Cuban cigars come in?”. I was not so much surprised at the question but considering John (He knows nothing about Cuban cigars), it was some what a pleasant thing. To me it sounded like John finally decided to dabble into the world of Cuban cigars. Well he was asking the right guy and than I gave him the whole deal on sizes and Cuban cigars.

So I told my friend John that it doesn’t matter. Needless to say, he was surprised because it’s just one of those things right? Cuban cigars shape don’t matter at all. What matters though is what you like. What I truly mean here is what kind of shape is the one that you prefer. Do you like the longer ones or shorter ones? Since they range, everyone can get the size that they can truly relate to.

People who like long cigars, usually have the time to enjoy them. Long cigars can take up to sixty minutes or more. These are usually smoked on weekends and people like to enjoy them a lot (Rightfully so). Short Cuban cigars on the other hand are for people on the go and have less than forty five minutes or so to their name at that moment or what not.
