Cigars ZEN

This is a format of Cigars.Zone Social Network. What does ZEN mean in the context of this format? It is often said that ZEN offers nothing. Neither a teaching, nor a secret, nor answers. It means to live life in its complete fullness. You can find an article about it at Wikipedia. So here it's all about celebrating the pleasure of a cigar, a drink and a conversation. Simply switch off and take time for yourself. Just be and decelerate without pursuing a specific goal.

Here is the video, season 1 / episode 2

The best way to watch the video is with a great cigar and a nice drink.

We enjoyed the following cigars: Fernando Léon Belicoso and Villa Zamorano Intenso.

A conversation among friends and you can eavesdrop

Monday, 25.01.2021. We are in another (partial) lockdown in Switzerland. COVID-19 is still raging. The first vaccinations have started. A meeting for a cozy smoke is rather undesirable. Therefore Akif and I have decided to enjoy a cozy Smoke virtually.

You can buy the books discussed in the program at Amazon, also as eBook. Please click on the cover.

I am sitting in my lounge in Liestal. Akif is sitting in Vienna. He tells us his story about his violent father and the beatings he, his siblings and their mother had to endure. They owe a lot to his mother that they were not also raised to be violent adults.
