Smoking The Cigar Of Myanmar
I’ll Try Anything Once
When in Rome… you pass the peace pipe.
Aside from mixing idioms, I have a tendency to jump in with both feet to experience as much as possible when I travel.
During a spontaneous village tour outside Bagan with a 13-year-old local girl, I purchased a freshly-made cigar from her family that were rolling them by-hand.
I’m not a cigar-lover anyway, but was highly curious to taste it; it didn’t taste too bad either.
After a few puffs I gifted it to the Burmese man standing next to me, who seemed very excited to see the cigar when I brought it out.
It is customary for the older generation (grandparents) to enjoy smoking these handmade cigars and they are truly unique to Myanmar.
Some journeys are taken for adventure. Others… for meaning.
I’m embarking on a powerful expedition through Nepal and India—into the Himalayas, sacred spaces, and the early exploration of a humanitarian vision for children in need. This is a real-time journey of discovery, storytelling, and creation.
If you feel something stirring as you read this, you’re invited to follow along, receive updates, or become part of the journey as a patron. Enter the expedition here:
