Back from the dead... This blog is alive again! (part 2)

Did a lot of "back-office" work... I have fixed all broken link, and as many images as I could... 7 years of no maintenance clearly did not help. Should be all good to go now.

Christmas is coming, which for me always resonates with cigar time! More to follow...

Back from the dead... This blog is alive again!

Hi all,

A lot has happened since my last post... I think it was somewhere in 2007... I was talking about a Hoyo de Monterey Double Corona... Not bad for a farewell! A truly amazing cigar.

What has happened since then? I stopped smoking cigars... And started again, reasonably of course. This blog is obviously not about promoting a way of life based on dependence and addiction. Clearly not.

This blog is about freedom. Freedom to smoke some of the best (Cuban) cigars and enjoy life to the full, because life, as well as good cigars, are always too short! So enjoy this...

I'm still a French guy living in Asia, now between Shanghai (too much) and Hong Kong (not enough). I won't bother you with business topics anymore, now it will mostly be about cigars... I may add here and there comments about music or a good book but don't worry I won't lose my focus...

See you soon.

Business ? Unprofitable ? Explain !

Some may ask : why on earth did you host your Business & Cigars blog on www.unprofitable.biz ?

1. It is my website. I own this domain. Hence it is cost-efficient (see I am quite business minded after all!)
2. Mmmh how to say... I am not rich, and I would hate to talk about business letting my readers (if any :-) believe that I am some successful guy living in Grand Cayman, retired at 29, after a successful carreer in investment banking... The truth is that I am just another guy, trying to make a living... Conclusion : let's be down to earth and call this non-serious website about Business & Cigars "Unprofitable.biz"

Blog this or blog that ?

What are we supposed to say/write/confess in a blog ?

Tough question uh ?! Personally I am against the "personal diary" blog, well not "against"... but it's just not for me.
Second option : the "put-everything-in-it" blog : here is my life, my wife, my favourite movie, the worst book I have ever read, one piece of advise for George W. Bush, etc. I think that such blogs can be can be truly amazing (0.01%), or absolutely boring (99.99%) !

I believe the key to a good blog is to focus. Find something you like, and speak about it. You might just be more relevant and entertaining than talking about your "life".

Well to me that will be Business & (preferably Cuban) Cigars. Not to say that I'm an expert in any of those fields, but I do like cigars, and since it might be boring to talk only about cigars, I might talk here and there about business... After all it is a subject which interests quite a lot of people (apparently) !

BTW, I am French and currently live in Paris. I write in English (I mean, I try to !) because a) it is the best way to improve, b) I hope I can reach a broader audience.
