Podcasts about Ometepe

Ocho playas de Centroamérica ingresaron al exclusivo listado de las 100 mejores del mundo. Como parte de su aniversario número 100, se presentó ‘Corona Beach 100′, una guía realizada por un panel internacional de expertos, entre ellos oceanógrafos, surfistas y buzos libres, quienes evaluaron cada destino según tres criterios: cultura playera, conexión con la naturaleza y armonía visual. Nicaragua registró dos playas en la lista. Playa Mangos, en Isla de Ometepe, se presentó como un refugio silencioso entre volcanes y el lago, con ambiente de pueblo y vida lenta. Y, la Isla Pequeña del Maíz, sin carreteras ni ruido, con ceviche fresco, hamacas entre palmeras y un arrecife cercano. Little Corn Island fue descrito como un suspiro frente al mar.

Entrevista en La Diez Capital radio al Dr. Rafael Zamora, director científico de Loro Parque Fundación. Proyecto de protección del loro de nuca amarilla. Que la belleza no ayuda a la supervivencia es un hecho. Los refugios están llenos de mascotas de raza: hermosos perros y gatos abandonados. Unos de los animales que más padece la ventaja de ser excepcionalmente bello son los loros. Sus colores, su capacidad como mascotas y su longevidad los han convertido en el objetivo de los cazadores furtivos en muchos lugares del mundo. Conseguir detener esta caza no es sencillo. Loro Parque Fundación lleva años desarrollando proyectos en diferentes puntos del mundo para tratar de recuperar diferentes especies de loros cuyas poblaciones han sido diezmadas por esta práctica. Pero, la compleja realidad, es que la situación de las poblaciones humanas en esas áreas, en muchas ocasiones han hecho que esta práctica lleve hasta el borde de extinción a alguna de ellas. Nicaragua es uno de estos ejemplos. En la isla de Omatepa se encuentra un reducto de una de las especies de loros más valorados por los amantes de estas aves. Se trata de la Amazona auropaliata, o amazona de nuca amarilla. Esta especie de loro recibió el regalo genético de un hermoso plumaje y una gran capacidad para reproducir sonidos humanos. Una combinación que las convirtieron en las más cotizadas en el mercado negro de la región y en una de las psitácidas más buscadas en el comercio de mascotas de América Central. El expolio fue tan brutal e intensivo que, durante la década de 1990, se estima que el 100% de los nidos conocidos en el sur de Guatemala fueron objeto de saqueo. Tras un repunte de la población en años posteriores, la gran crisis del COVID los convirtió en una fuente de ingresos para familias de la zona volviendo a ser objeto del saqueo de nidos. La especie volvió a sufrir la amenaza de la extinción. Pero, más allá del espectáculo natural que supone ver a estos loros volando en su medio natural ¿cuál es la importancia de preservar a esta especie? Lo más importante a la hora de valorar la recuperación de una especie, por pequeña o insignificante que pueda parecer, es tener en cuenta que forma para de un ecosistema que depende en mayor o menos medida de su presencia en él. En el caso concreto de los loros, su alimentación suele ser la vía de desarrollo de algunas de las plantas que protagonizan el bioma: su potente mandíbula es capaz de abrir las cáscaras de semillas que ningún otro animal puede abrir, consumir y, de esta manera, dispersar. Su ausencia abre una brecha en este perfecto mecanismo. El desastre de la práctica desaparición del loro de nuca amarilla encontró en la isla de Ometepe un reducto en el que escapar de la extinción. Trabajando con las comunidades locales, Loro Parque Fundación forma parte de un proyecto con la organización Bio Ometepe para proteger los nidos de estas aves de los furtivos y de los incendios que, también, son una enorme amenaza. Los voluntarios locales son los encargados de localizar los nidos, vigilarlos y protegerlos del expolio. Como resultado se ha logrado proteger más de 300 pichones que han tenido la oportunidad de volar libres en su espacio natural.

Un día como hoy hace 365 día se forma el nuevo Gobierno de Pedro Sánchez. Y hoy hace un año: Ángel Víctor Torres, nuevo ministro de Política Territorial y Memoria Democrática. Y hoy hace un año: los canarios, eramos los que esperabamos para una operación. Hoy se cumplen 1.002 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. Hoy es jueves 21 de noviembre de 2024. Día Mundial de la Televisión. El 21 de noviembre es el Día Mundial de la Televisión, una efeméride impulsada por la ONU desde el año 1996 y que busca propiciar el uso responsable de la televisión como uno de los principales canales de difusión de información pública. Aunque para las generaciones actuales, se puede pensar que Internet es el medio de difusión más importante, lo cierto es que la web ha ofrecido a la televisión nuevas herramientas y recursos que, más que desplazarla, la han potenciado, como por ejemplo las difusiones en directo y el acceso a contenidos audiovisuales desde cualquier lugar y desde cualquier dispositivo. Actualmente la televisión es el medio de comunicación por excelencia, ya que permite transmitir en vivo sucesos, acontecimientos y trabajos humanitarios realizados por la ONU y las organizaciones asociadas a ella. 1877: En Nueva York (Estados Unidos), Thomas Edison anuncia la creación del fonógrafo, instrumento para grabar y reproducir sonidos. 1916: En el mar Egeo ―en el marco de la Primera Guerra Mundial― se hunde el Britannic (buque hermano del Titanic) tras hacer estallar una mina marina. Mueren 29 personas. 21 de noviembre de 1969: Se establece en Estados Unidos el primer enlace de la red ARPANET (antecesora de la actual Internet), entre dos computadoras, ubicadas en la UCLA (Universidad de California en Los Ángeles) y la Universidad Stanford. 1995.- Acuerdo de Dayton (EEUU) para los Balcanes: los presidentes de Serbia, Slobodan Milosevic; Croacia, Franjo Tudjman, y Bosnia, Alia Izetbegovic, firman un acuerdo marco de paz que pone fin a una guerra de cuatro años. 2000: La Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre de España hace los últimos billetes en pesetas.

Desarticulada en España una red criminal que reclutaba a menores extranjeros para cometer asesinatos. Ribera revela que la conexión con el Cecopi la tarde de la DANA "pasó a negro" durante una hora. El Banco de España prevé que los daños por la DANA le cuesten dos décimas al PIB español en el cuarto trimestre. Clavijo demanda a Europa un estatus especial para los menores migrantes. El presidente de Canarias exige una estrategia común en la UE para garantizar la protección y atención de los menores migrantes no acompañados, y denuncia la falta de apoyo de los Estados miembro a las regiones frontera. La reforma de la Ley de Extranjería facilitará los papeles a 11.000 migrantes al año en Canarias. Los cambios en la Ley de Extranjería acortan plazos y flexibilizan requisitos para facilitar la regularización de foráneos que ya viven en España. Los críticos de Nueva Canarias quieren una ruptura pacífica como la de 2005 con Coalición Canaria. Invitarán a los oficialistas a no romper y convivir en los grupos municipales y del Cabildo grancanario hasta las elecciones de 2027. Las eléctricas se libran de las multas por los ‘ceros energéticos’. El Gobierno de Canarias anuncia que tendrá que devolver más de 50 millones abonados por sanciones desde 2018 al caducar su plazo durante el procedimiento de cobro. Roban piezas de coches que fueron intervenidos por la Policía Nacional en Tenerife.

Secas, la conversación siempre cobra vida y profundidad. Esta vez, junto al inconfundible ladrido y carisma del perro Salvador, nos adentramos en un tema que ha marcado la actualidad: la DANA (Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos). Analizamos su impacto en las infraestructuras, la respuesta política y social ante los eventos climáticos extremos y las repercusiones económicas que dejan a su paso.

Diplomātiskajās pusdienās stāsts par Nikaragvas Republiku, lielāko valsti Centrālamerikas reģionā. Nikaragvā ir atrodama arī pasaulē lielākā sala ezera vidū. Tā ir tik liela, ka uz tās pat ir divi vulkāni. Un vulkānu Nikaragvā netrūkst. Iespējams, ka klausītāji būs dzirdējuši par tādiem vulkāniem kā Santkristobals, Seronegro, Masaja. Jebkurā gadījumā – Nikaragvas daba ir aizraujoša. Un tūrisms brīvā dabā, pludmalēs, pa Nikaragvai piederošajām salām ir cieņā ne tikai ārvalstniekiem, bet arī vietējiem. Nikaragvā esot ap septiņiem procentiem visas pasaules bioloģiskās daudzveidības. Vēl vairāk – Nikaragvas 68 ekosistēmās un augu veidojumos ir atrodami 60 procenti visas Centrālamerikas dzīvnieku un augu kopuma. Nikaragvā, piemēram, dzīvo arī vienīgās pasaulē saldūdens haizivis. Visa šī rezultātā, trīs no valsts biosfērām – Bosava, Ometepe un RioSanHuan – ir UNESCO atzītas. Valsts parlaments ir arī deklarēja visu Karību reģionu kopumā kā biosfēras rezervātu 2021. gadā. Valstī ir 78 dabas liegumi, dabas aizsardzības zonas un rezervāti, kas kopumā aizņem apmēram vienu piekto daļu no visas valsts teritorijas. Bosavas lietusmeži ir otri lielākie Dienvidamerikas kontinentā pēc Amazones. Loģiski, ka ekotūrisms tur ir ļoti populārs. Un valsts arī ir pieprasīta, jo tajā ir viens no zemākajiem noziedzības līmeņiem Centrālamerikas reģionā. Tie, kam tomēr gribas arī vēsturi, Nikaragvā atradīs arī vecās galvaspilsētas Leonas jeb Leonvjeho drupas, kas ir viena no vecākajām spāņu celtajām pilsētām reģionā un jau pus tūkstoti gadu senas. Leona bija Nikaragvas galvaspilsēta līdz 1858. gadam. Un interesanti, ka iemesls galvaspilsētas maiņai bija kašķis. Proti, Leona un Granada nevarēja beigt ķīvēties, kura ir tiesīgāka būt par Nikaragvas galvaspilsētu. Vienā brīdī cilvēkiem šīs apnika un pavisam cita pilsēta – Managva – tika pasludināta par jauno galvaspilsētu.

This episode presents on Tropical Mountain and Cloud Forest issues, namely conservation, species diversity and ecology. It uses an interview with Hazel Berrios and her wider tropical plant field experience. This session discusses a multi-year field study experience by the author, and a 2 years M.Sc. thesis field work by HB in the cloud forest of Ometepe Island, Nicaragua. A focus is made on over 200 species of epiphytes and its open access data in Dryad, a topic not much addressed before. References Berríos Alvarez, H. K. (2019).

Coming in at #17 is the Plasencia Alma del Fuego Concepcíon. First released in 2019, Alma del Fuego was the third installment of Plasencia's "Alma" series. In the case of Alma del Fuego, this translates to "Soul of Fire." The vitola name "Concepción" refers to a volcano on the island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. The Alma del Fuego blend incorporates tobaccos from Ometepe into the filler. In addition to the Ometepe tobaccos in the filler, the blend to the Plasencia Alma del Fuego Concepcíon consists of 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos.

A great discussion about Christian's adventure on the show The Selection as well as his history of extreme events and training. I've been a fan of this man for some time now ever since I saw him on the show. I had prepared a bunch of questions to help ease us along and get into the mindset of what it's like to walk the path of the warrior but in listening to his stories he just exemplifies it by the way he is in life.

Transformational facilitator Gaia Ma pioneered the Tantric Way Process, a world renowned personal and spiritual development practice that helps to shatter programmed patterns of the body mind. A former stripper and exotic dancer, she is the co-founder of InanItah, an earth-based community on the island of Ometepe in Nicaragua, where she teaches permaculture and tantra. When she's not busy teaching techniques of ecstasy and liveness, catalyzing growth, or steering her community towards a more regenerative lifestyle, Gaia is running the Ometepe Development Fund, a nonprofit organization that supports programs for food security, economic development, and land preservation. As both a stripper and a sage, Gaia offers profound insights about how our connection to the earth informs our sexuality. She talks about getting in contact with our animal nature and becoming attuned to our authentic sexual selves, and discusses techniques that build sexual energy. She also shares a really hot sex story involving BDSM and skydiving - so do listen to the end!

Running around Central America isn't complete without a volcano hike, or twelve. This lake in a volcano on and island created by the eruption of a volcano is one of Nicaragua's coolest spots: Ometepe. Hidden in plain sight the hippies of the world have created a sanctuary of organic farms, chocolate factories and good natural vibes along beaches, volcanoes and howler monkeys.

Ik heb een eenzaam momentje in Granada, gelukkig krijg ik wat geruststelling en kan ik dan beter relativeren. Erna ga ik naar San Juan del Sur voor Sunday Funday, een oppervlakkig maar leuk feest vooral voor toeristen. Erna reis ik verder naar Ometepe.

The legendary Don Lino Africa has returned.  Today we fire up a cigar long known as one of Nestor Miranda's favorites.  The brand was born out of his love of travel to the African continent ands part of Miami Cigar & Company celebrating 30 years, the Africa sees the blend, boxes and and presentation return to its original form with the Don Lino Africa production being handled by Tabacalera AJ Fernandez. What do we think of the cigar that features a Habano 2000 wrapper from Ecuador, African Cameroon binder and Piloto Dominicano, Ometepe, Jalapa, and Esteli fillers. Tune in to The AshHoles and find out. We will also have the Victor Sinclair 55 Top 5 list and all the insanity you come to expect from The Ash Holes as we broadcast live on location from Studio 21 Podcast Cafe high above Two Guys Smoke Shop in Salem, New Hampshire on the United Podcast Network.

Bienvenido a la isla del volcan. Welcome to Ometepe, an island housing a big, beautiful lava filled mountain, sitting right in the middle of Nicaragua Lake. Our two co-ed teams are serving here at an orphanage and plantain farm. If we aren't teaching kids English in the classrooms, we are digging holes in the fields. It's rewarding work — and not a bad place to stay when you are situated in a house next to the lake, with a volcano looming in the background. My guest Ashley and I discuss the last couple of weeks as we transition into Latin America, the Parent Vision Trip coming up soon, team changes, and how a constantly changing life abroad can become normal. Plus American History trivia at the end.

Sie ist das wahre Monster von Loch Ness: Die Seekrankheit. Ich selbst bin bisher glücklicherweise verschont geblieben und habe mir deshalb für diese Episode eine erfahrene und professionelle Seekrankheits-Expertin an die Seite geholt: Meine Partnerin-in-crime Steffi. Wie sicher viele von euch hat sie Steffi eines Tages im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ‘übel erwischt’: Die fiese Übelkeit auf dem Wasser. In dieser Episode packen wir die schlimmsten Stories aus: Von der Überfahrt zur Isla de Ometepe über einen scheinbar harmlosen Schnorchelausflug bis hin zu Steffis schlimmster Erfahrung auf dem Surfbrett. Steffi erzählt euch, wie sie damit umgeht und verrät euch exklusiv ihre ultimativen Tipps gegen Seekrankheit! Wenn du wissen willst, wie du eine Überfahrt ohne Kotztüte überstehen kannst und warum Steffi manchmal lieber mit einer Limette als mit mir kuschelt, dann hör einfach mal rein!

Grenzenloser Sonnenschein, kristallklares Wasser, die hilfsbereitesten Menschen und alles läuft genau so, wie du es dir vorgestellt hast! Reisen ist doch traumhaft- oder? Ganz ehrlich: Oft erlebst du auf Reisen die kuriosesten Dinge, siehst krasse Sachen und manchmal kommst du wirklich an deine Grenzen. Und manchmal ist es echt zum K*****! Aber genau das ist es, was ich am Reisen so liebe und schätze: Du sammelst Erfahrungen, die dein Leben bereichern, deinen Horizont erweitern und dich zum besten Geschichtenerzähler machen- weil du Geschichten erzählst, die du selbst erlebt hast. Du lernst dich besser kennen und wächst als Mensch. Diesen Reichtum sammelst du nun mal nicht, wenn du daheim auf dem Sofa tief in deiner Komfortzone sitzt. In dieser Episode ‘Worst Stories Part I’ teile ich mit euch eine der schlimmsten Erfahrungen, die ich auf meinen Reisen gesammelt habe. Sie spielte sich damals in Nicaragua ab, als Steffi und ich an ihrem Geburtstag mit einer Fähre zur Isla de Ometepe unterwegs waren. Heute lachen wir beide über diese Geschichte, doch damals fanden wir Steffis feucht-fröhlichen Geburtstag in keinster Weise zum Lachen… In dieser Episode erfährst du: Warum Reisen nicht einfach nur schön ist Was Reisen für mich ausmacht Warum man hin und wieder doch auf Warnungen von Einheimischen hören sollte Wie man seinen Geburtstag nicht verbringen sollte Warum Wasser nicht gleich Wasser ist Hast du Fragen?

Nicaragua es rubia, así le llame en mi libro acerca de viajes por Latinoamérica, Me Largo a Volver Conmigo. La razón para nombrarla así son sus paisajes de grandes pastizales secos, debido al sol abrazador y al calor, característicos del lugar. Como otros países de Centroamérica, Nicaragua está bañada por el océano Pacífico y el Atlántico, cada uno con playas y ambiente muy diferentes. Generalmente los viajeros toman la ruta del Pacífico por la cercanía con las fronteras tanto de Costa Rica como de Honduras, pero aquí, en este episodio, también les cuento cómo pueden llegar a las playas caribeñas, un destino más alejado pero no inaccesible. Además de sol y playas, en este país se encuentra la ciudad más antigua de América, Granada, y otras que cuentan historias de la revolución como León. También pueden visitar una isla en medio de grandes lagos, como la de Ometepe, y comer chocolate mesoamericano. En esta ocasión nos acompaña Ana Frigiotti, una viajera en combi, que con su pareja recorrió Latinoamérica de sur a norte, y nos cuenta acerca de sus experiencias en Nicaragua, y de cómo viajar haciendo voluntariados.

Paul Bergner and Tania Neubauer, N.D. join me at the Traditions in Western Herbalism Conference for a special live edition of HerbMentor Radio. Paul has been practicing natural medicine since 1973, is author of 7 books, and is founder of the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism. Dr. Neubauer is a naturopathic physician, was a medical coordinator at the Berkeley Free Clinic, has worked extensively with Natural Doctors International, and has studied with Karen Sanders, Michael Moore and Adam Seller. A “calling,” according to Paul, is something that “when you’re doing it, the universe conspires to make you succeed.” Paul and Tania, along with herbalist 7Song (Northeast School of Botanical Medicine), are leading a delegation to the island of Ometepe in Nicaragua. This trip is open to anyone, no matter what your herbal or language background. It is an amazing opportunity for those who want herbal clinical experience. Paul and Tania discuss this opportunity in great detail, however, this interview will be of interest to everyone, as Paul discusses what a calling is, and some tips for those who might be interested in being a clinical herbalist. It’s a fascinating look at the state of herbalism from someone how has been doing this for nearly 40 years. I wanted to get this interview out for 2 reasons… 1) To share what I learned from Paul about finding one’s calling and 2) to spread the word about this trip, which will help a lot of people get quality, natural medical help. To find out more about Paul, Tania and 7Song’s clinical training in Nicaragua, visit http://medherb.com/nicaragua.html

Pas besoin d'être riche et pas besoin d'avoir un BAC+5 pour le faire, c'est à la portée de tout le monde. C'est le message que je souhaitais vous faire passer avec cette interview. Romain a quitté la France en 2009 et il n'est jamais vraiment revenu. Il est parti en Australie, Nouvelle-Zélande, en Asie du Sud-Est ou encore en Amérique Centrale où il voyage actuellement. Il à réussi a trouver un style de vie qui lui permet d'alterner travail et voyage, ainsi que de pouvoir vivre ses passions. Dans cette interview, on parle de sa situation en France et le déclic qui l'a fait partir en Australie, de ses voyages, de ses expériences professionnelles, son mode de vie, des leçons apprises au fil des années ou encore son projet fou de traverser l'Amérique de la Californie à la Patagonie. Dans ce podcast, vous allez découvrir : Ce que faisait Romain avant de partir en Australie Comment il est parti en Australie et avec quel budget Les boulots que Romain a faits durant ses deux premières années Les leçons apprises après deux ans de voyage L'histoire de son voyage backpacker de 6 mois en Asie Pourquoi Romain a enchainé avec un PVT en Nouvelle-Zélande Comment Romain a fait pour trouver un bon boulot en Nouvelle-Zélande L'état du marché du travail en Nouvelle-Zélande Conseils de Romain pour voyager longtemps et franchir le pas Son voyage actuel en Amérique latine et ses futurs projets Les liens de l'épisode : Podcast sur le PVT Comment écouter cet épisode ?

Avant le grand départ En revenant plus de 6 ans en arrière, Romain nous raconte qu’en juin 2009, il a pris un billet aller simple pour l’Australie, sans trop avoir l’idée de revenir. Avant de partir, Romain a eu un parcours assez classique, il a eu son BAC et a fait un BTS dans la région de Bordeaux. Il a ensuite enchainé les petits boulots en tant que vendeur informatique dans les centres commerciaux. L’idée de partir en Australie lui trottait dans la tête depuis 3 ou 4 ans, il a toujours été attiré par ce pays situé de l’autre côté du monde où il peut y avoir plus d’opportunités qu’en Europe. Il est parti seul en Australie, mais auparavant il avait passé 4 mois à Dublin pour améliorer son anglais. L’Irlande fut une étape intermédiaire pour voir s'il arrivait à se débrouiller à 1H de Paris avant de faire le grand saut vers l’Australie. Il est parti avec un WHV (Working Holiday Visa), aussi appelé PVT de 1 an. Par contre, dans sa tête il envisageait déjà de renouveler son visa et de rester plus d’un an dans cette partie du monde. En travaillant en France, il a réussi à mettre 5/6000 euros de côté avant de partir. Cela lui laissait le temps de voir venir pendant 1 an et de voir comment cela allait se passer.

The Bainbridge Photography Club July 4th Exhibit will show 30 photos taken by 15 deaf children on Ometepe - the Bainbridge sister island in Nicaragua. In this podcast, Sue Barrington and Dale Spoor explain the background of the show. This is one of many projects initiated by Dale Spoor after learning that there were no government programs on Nicaragua for hearing-impaired children. Dale participated in the first delegation of the Bainbridge Ometepe Sister Islands Association (BOSIA) to Ometepe in 1988. Since then he has led a dozen trips and delegations over the years. Dale and his wife also facilitate Spanish classes at the Senior Center. In January of this year a group of 12 BOSIA delegates carried to the island 15 new simple digital cameras donated by members of the BI Photo Club. They met with the children one morning. With the assistance of a local sign language interpreter, they taught them how to use the cameras. They gave them simple instructions for taking photos: tell us your story, show us your friends, your family, your island and your lives. The children spent a week in their local communities taking photos. Members of the photo club have created an exhibition of 30 photos that will be shown in a number of venues here and in Nicaragua. The first exhibition will be at the Waterfront Park Community Center during the Fourth of July celebration as a part of the annual photography show there. Brenda Berry, a BI professional photographer who was a member of the delegation created a 6-minute video that captures the essence of the experience of working with the deaf children on Ometepe in the photography project.

Om en kinesisk kanal - eller är det en kinesisk koloni? - som just nu byggs i Nicaragua. Kina expanderar och investerar - är det vad fattiga länder behöver för att resa sig eller är den nya yankeen i själva verket värre än den gamla? Hör röster från Ometepe, Lusaka och Chengdu om konspirationsteorier och ekonomiska strategier när Kina blivit stormakten att räkna med i utvecklingsländerna. Dagens Konflikt tar avstamp i ett stort kanalbygge som planeras i Nicaragua i Centralamerika. Det Hongkong-baserade företaget HKNDs vd, kinesen Wang Jing, invigde formellt kanalbygget i december och år 2020 väntas kanalen, som ska bli både bredare och djupare än rivalen Panamakanalen, stå klar. Sveriges Radios Latinamerikakorrespondent Lotten Collin reser genom Nicaragua där kanalen ska byggas och pratar med både oroliga och arga nicaraguaner. – Kineserna har varit här flera gånger för att mäta upp vår mark, alltid i sällskap av militären. Nu väntar vi bara på att de ska köra iväg oss, säger Yendi Roxana, som bor i den lilla fiskebyn Obrajuelo. Ända sedan kanalbygget först presenterades för två år sen har det varit omgärdat av frågetecken. Vem är den okände miljonären Wang Jing som ansvarar för världens kanske största infrastrukturprojekt? Vem eller vilka står egentligen bakom hans bolag HKND? Varför har miljöstudierna som gjorts fortfarande inte offentliggjorts? Och - framför allt - vad är den kinesiska statens roll i kanalbygget? Men hur ser kineserna på sin ekonomiska expansion runtom i världen? Konflikts Ivar Ekman ringde upp Dai Yonghong, som är professor i statsvetenskap på Sichuan-universitetet i Chengdu i centrala Kina. Hans forskning har mest fokuserat på Kinas investeringar och projekt i Sydostasien – ett annat område där man har planer på ett enormt kanalbygge, nämligen Kra-kanalen genom södra Thailand. Med oss i studion för att prata om Kinas ökade intresse för Latinamerika, och den oro - men också hopp - som kopplas till kinesiska investeringar, är Kinakännaren Johan Lagerkvist, som är knuten till Utrikespolitiska Institutet. Han har framför allt studerat Kinas närvaro i Afrika, framför allt Zambia, där kineserna varit närvarande i ett halvt sekel. Hur ser man på Kina där? Konflikts Anja Sahlberg ringde upp Mathias Mpande, professor vid University of Zambia, och Sombo Chunda, landschef på Diakonia i huvudstaden Lusaka.   Programledare: Kajsa Boglind kajsa.boglind@sverigesradio.se Producent: Anja Sahlberg anja.sahlberg@sverigesradio.se

Cigar of the Week - Thunder by Nimish - Robusto The Rocky Patel Thunder is blended by Nimish Desai, Rocky’s cousin. He supervises all of the Central American manufacturing for Rocky, but has wanted to blend his own cigar for a long time. This year he finally came up with a blend that he wanted to put on the market and Rocky agreed. Name: Thunder by Nimish Company: Rocky Patel Premium Cigars Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano Binder: Nicaragua and Honduras Filler: Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rico Price: $5-6.00/stick Comes in: Box of 20 Three sizes: Robusto 4.5 X 54 Toro 6 X 52 Torpedo 6 ⅛ X 52 What else have you been smokin' Dale? Oliva Serie V Lancero - 7” x 38 - Nicaraguan tobaccos featuring a high priming Habano Sun Grown wrapper and Jalapa Valley ligero. A full bodied, smooth smoke with great spice balanced with dark chocolate and espresso flavors. Some dark fruit sweetness in the last 3rd and a long, rich finish. A solid “longhorn lounge” favorite for under $5! Macanudo 1968 Robusto - 5” x 50 - The first of what I like to call the “new style Mac’s”, the 1968 has been out 3 or 4 years now. It has a bold and aromatic expression previously lacking in the Macanudo line. The wrapper is Honduran San Augustin, the binder is Habano Connecticut and the filler is a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan, with the Nica tobaccos coming from Esteli and Ometepe. The first (official) use of Ometepe tobacco by General Cigar, but they didn’t make a big deal out of it until the Upper Cut and others came out in the last 18 months. Medium bodied, but full flavored with coffee, spice and leather notes accented by roasted nuts. AB Prensado Corona Gorda - 5.6” x 46 - I’ve smoked this cigar several times now since we featured it on the show last year, and again this week, before CA announced it as their #1 cigar for 2011. Smooth, deep, rich roasted flavors from Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos. The wrapper is from the Trojas valley in southern Honduras and imparts some great leather and chocolate flavors. The filler is savory and has good spice. Lots of complexity, great balance and full in both body and flavor, medium in strength. What else have you been smokin' Bob? Gurkha Assassin Dagger - 3.78 x 60 - Brazilian Wrapper, Dominican Binder, and a Peruvian/Nicaraguan Filler. Comes in four other sizes: Robusto, Toro, Churchill, and Torpedo. Jesus Fuego 76 Robusto- 5 x 50 - A small batch production cigar, it uses a limited production stalk-cut Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, aged fillers from Nicaragua & Honduras and is held together with an aged triple fermented Nicaraguan binder. Erez Cigars White Label Natural Churchill - 7 ½ x 50 -Criollo 98 wrapper; Olor Dominicano binder; and a filler consisting of Cubano San Vicente, Olor Dominicano and Criollo 98 tobaccos. All of its tobacco was grown in the Dominican Republic by the Reyes Family, who has been in the business for over 150 years. Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro A fine smoke with great dark flavors and an earthy base that really makes this shine like a fine chocolate cake.

Cigar of the Week - The Vault Liga A-008 by Torano brought to us by Duque Cigars (http://www.duquecigars.com/, 410 5th Avenue Indialantic, FL). Released at the 2011 IPCPR Tradeshow, Torano Vault gets its name from the vault in which the Torano blend book is kept. Originally called Liga A-008, this blend has a Colorado Shade-grown Habano wrapper from Nicaragua, an Ometepe-grown ligero binder, and a filler of Nicaraguan long leaf tobaccos. It comes in the following sizes: Robusto 5 x 52 Toro 6 x 50 Torpedo 6.1 x 52 What else have you been smokin' Dale? Pueblo Dominicano Toro - 6.5” x 50 - Dominican cigar from the La Aurora factory that Bob mentioned a couple weeks back, wrapped in a 5 yr old Habano varity wrapper that is Sun Grown and fermented to a dark reddish hue. A very smooth, balanced and complex smoke that I enjoyed thoroughly! Leather, cedar and light spice in a creamy med-full bodied smoke. Very “Dominican” as one might expect, yet with rich flavors and a nutty finish. To me it competes with the Leon G Pinar Del Rio Liga Cubana No. 5, Habano Sungrown Toro - 6” x 50 - From our friend Abe Flores, the Nicaraguan and Dominican filler blend in these cigars is magnificently rich and deep in flavor. Wrapped in a Sungrown Habano leaf that is oily, silky and refined in appearance. Full bodied with lots of spice (especially in the retrohale), coffee bean and grain flavors, the cigar is very savory. The long finish highlights cedar & walnut tones. Padilla 1948 Edicion Limitada 2010 Robusto - 5” x 50 - One of those cigars I really enjoy when I’m in the mood for cedar, oak and leather flavors. This cigar also has a buttery component. The Nicaraguan grown Corojo and Crillo blend is covered in a Corojo wrapper that is med brown in color and imparts a peppery tang. The cigar is earthy in character, a touch dry and exhibits excellent construction. Copious amounts of medium bodied yet very full flavored smoke with a short woody finish. What else have you been smokin' Bob? Gurkha Evil - Originally released in 2010, this cigar comes in 5 sizes including the Churchill that I smoked. With a Brazilian wrapper, Dominican binder and Nicaraguan filler, this is a smooth spicy operator in the Gurkha line. Punch London Club Maduro Perdomo Patriarch Antano Dark Corojo Pinar Del Rio Capa Oscuro What's My Band?- This week's unbanded, the NHC Surrogates Bone Crusher, was provided by Dan of NewHavanaCigars.com.

The history of General Cigar began in 1848 when Ferdinand Cullman immigrated to the US from Germany. His grandson made one of the greatest contributions to the cigar world: the Connecticut Shade wrapper. In 1960, Cullman Brothers bought General Cigar Company and became the largest manufacturer and marketer of premium cigars with impressive brands. In 1997, General Cigar acquired Villazon, the maker of such iconic brands as Punch, Hoyo de Monterrey, and Excalibur. Later, General Cigar assumed responsibility for marketing and selling El Credito, whose brands include La Gloria Cubana and El Rico Habano. In 1999, General Cigar sold its mass market business to Swedish Match in order to concentrate strictly on premium brands. In 2000, Swedish Match assumed majority control of General through a stock purchase from Edgar Cullman and family members. Other important brands have been acquired recently, including Helix, Don Tomas and Astral in 2004. Their factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic is run by General Cigar Dominicana, a subsidiary of General Cigar Co., which began processing tobacco in 1975, and started producing cigars in 1978. The Punch Upper Cut was released in October 2009. Handmade in Honduras with its filler and binder tobaccos grown in Ometepe, Nicaragua, this cigar is perfectly finished with an attractive dark and oily Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. Each cigar has a footband complete with the image of Ometepe and its twin volcanoes Toro | Length: 6.62 | Ring: 54 Grand Corona | Length: 6 | Ring: 45 Robusto | Length: 5.25 | Ring: 50 Dark Side - - No Dark Side this week. What else have you been smokin' Dale? Man o’ War Salomone El Credito Perridos Bolivar Belicoso Fino Cohiba Siglo VI What else have you been smokin' Bob? PDR 1878 Cubano Especial Seleccion RL 2000 - Wrapper is Lancaster, Pa leaf; binder is the Criollo 98 from the Dominican Republic; and the filler is Nicaraguan and Dominican Republic. Medium bodied but full of great flavors of aged tobacco; slightly sweet with a salty sensation on the tip of the tongue. A mind melting experience that will cleanse the body of stress and free the mind. Tatuaje Especiale - Great opening pepper that mellows into a sweet spicy joy punctuated with leather and mocha. Size: 7.5 x 38 (Especiales/Lancero) Wrapper: Nicaragua Corojo 99 Binder: Nicaragua Filler: Nicaragua Strength: Medium Black Pearl Morada - Doug Woods has survived more ups and downs and pure crashes than perhaps anyone in the cigar business. In 2008 the Morado Torpedo was named Best Cigar of the Year, although the title came with an asterisk, “That you can't find and never heard of.” We first interviewed Doug way back at the 2006 IPCPR, before he was famous. Doug has one of the most extensive and beautiful collections of cigar art to be found anywhere and he uses that art on his cigars. The Robusto that I smoked had sweet chocolate, coffee and fruity elements in the flavor that finished with a distinctly herbal twist. A well constructed cigar with outstanding draw and flavor. A keeper and yes I would buy one again IF I could find someplace that carries them. Doug Wood states: "We wish we had enough of this tobacco to produce several years' worth of our new Black Pearl Morado (Purple) premium cigar but, its featured Cameroon wrapper is in shorter supply than we expected, so we can only offer limited supplies of Morado in three shapes: Robusto (4.75" x 52) Toro (6" x 50), and Torpedo (6.25" x 52)."

How about that. Ashley might actually possess some ability to play the game after all. It took 13 episodes, but it was nice to finally see someone besides Rob in the Ometepe tribe actually thinking about the game. Grant, Ashley and even Natalie finally displayed some strategic ability. Of course, none of them are functioning at the same level as the Robfather. Do you think it has been hard for them to watch at home and see just how bad they were outplayed by Rob? Who do you most want to see return from Redemption Island? Do you think we will get to see Rob play his HII? What's your ideal final five? Can you think of any scenario where Phillip gets any votes if he makes it to the final tribal council? Who do you have picked to win it all? Here is the merged tribe after episode 13.

We got another episode that polarized the audience this week. Some really enjoyed it, especially the grueling Immunity challenge. Others continued to find it predictable with Andrea being the first target. There was also a split this week when it came to predictions for who will go next between Grant and Ashley. The argument to keep Grant to help fight off the RI threat makes a lot of sense. So does the rationale that says Rob will want to remove him as soon as you can because he views him as the biggest remaining threat among the Ometepe players. For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Twenty one fans shared their thoughts on episode 12 and predictions for what we'll see next. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Brian, Survivor_Rox, Samantha, Jan, Jack, John, Lil' Russ, Michelle & Jason, Aaron, Janet, The Jimp, DrewG, Carolyn, MikeK, Brandon, Brad, Tyler, Jeremiah, Anjanette, Sandi and Paul.

Ometepe begins to eat its own, and RI brings the reward dilemma that we were craving. Unfortunately, both events fail to deliver the disruption in the status quo that we were hoping for. The family visit seemed to further cement the disparity between the Robfather's approach to the game and the remaining Ometepes. How is that he gets a new shirt from a loved one? Do you think he's getting special treatment? Did you worry for his safety in the immunity challenge? What did you make of Mike's choice after winning the duel? Did it help or hurt his chances if he makes it back from RI? Are you buying Phillip's explanation of his grand strategy? Do you think anyone on the jury will? Did you ever think he would make it this far? Who are you hoping will return from RI? Of the remaining Ometepes, who stands the best chance of beating Rob at the final tribal council? Here is the merged tribe after episode 12.

The total domination of Zapatera is almost complete. With all of the remaining members at Redemption Island, there is only one chance for a Zapatera to return to the game now. Given the divine intervention that Matt receives in the duels, that seems very unlikely. Be honest. Some of you are starting to think that Phillip has tapped into a higher power too, right? How else can you explain the manifestation of feathers and most importantly the vision that enabled him to find his shorts? Now it gets interesting. Ometepe has to finally turn on each other. Do you think they will take the easy route and vote out Andrea? Will she accept that fate or go down fighting? If Matt makes it back from Redemption Island and into the final 3 against Rob, will he be able to beat him? What is your assessment of this group? Do you think we will have a jury that respects gameplay or will we see another classic bitter vote against the person that beat them? What is your guess for the vote out order of the remaining Ometepes? Here is the merged tribe after episode 11. Murlonio:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Redemption Island Duel:Steve vs. Ralph vs. Matt vs. Mike Jo Ann thinks Andrea will Rob's first target.

We agree with you. Episode 10 was quite the mixed bag. One person came to Phillip's defense, but the majority think he was way off base but certainly a great person to have sitting next to you in a final Tribal Council. Rob seems to have the perfect foils in Phillip and Natalie. Rob can play as cut throat as he needs to when it comes time for the former Ometepe members to turn on each other, and he could still come away with the votes to win with kooky Phillip and Natalie the parrot with him at the end.

We've seen race come up as in issue in previous seasons, most recently in Samoa, but this episode Phillip took things to a whole different level. As much as we enjoy all his goofy antics, it was really uncomfortable to watch him come unglued and attack Steve. Did you buy his explanation? Do you think he was justified in his outburst? The Robfather appears to have an iron grip on the fate of the remaining Zapatera members. Is it safe enough for him to start voting out some of the Ometepe tribe now? Do you think Zapatera made the right call with the rice? Phillip appears to be really unstable. Can you think of a scenario where he could win the $1M? Do you think Matt or Mike really has a shot at winning if they return from Redemption Island? Here is the merged tribe after episode 10. Murlonio:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip, Ralph, Rob and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Julie vs. Matt vs. Mike Jo Ann thinks Rob will continue the Zapatera death march and target Steve next. Stacy thinks they will finally get rid of Phillip now that the numbers advantage is so strong. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out? We've got several ways you can reach us.

Attention all Survivor students. The Robfather is running an advanced placement Survivor strategy clinic during season 22. There will be special sessions on managing sleeping quarters, scheduling feeding times, encouraging a sense of entitlement and outward displays of arrogance as well as tips on how to organize a buddy system to encourage your alliance to spy on each other. Things look grim for the 2 1/2 remaining Zapatera members. Do you think there's any chance for Julie, Ralph and what's left of Steve to make it to the end? Grant showed a small amount of rebellion this week with the fish. Do you ever see him attempting to wrest control away from Rob? Will the original Ometepe members be able to keep it together until all the Zapateras are gone? Would you be happy with Rob's final 3? Who will you be cheering for at the Redemption Island duel? Here is the merged tribe after episode 9. Murlonio:Andrea, Ashley, Julie, Grant, Natalie, Phillip, Ralph, Rob and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Matt vs. David vs.Mike Jo Ann thinks Rob will want to make Julie pay for those zingers she landed in Tribal Council.

  Targeting flakey tribe members has a long history on Survivor. There is a classic example of it in episode 11 of Survivor Amazon. One of the great dilemmas of the game is that you can essentially trust no one but you are constantly required to choose between small temporary alliances bound by trust. The one surefire way to fail is to demonstrate that you can't be counted on for either choice. When you are viewed as incapable of committing, you make yourself the number one target. Matt clearly has more to learn about the game. Do you think he will figure out what the true lesson of Survivor is during his 2nd visit to RI? Did Rob do Matt a favor and give him an easier path to final 5? Do you think Mike was sincere when he and Matt were reading the bible together? How do you think Grant will respond to getting five votes at Tribal Council? Will Andrea be able to recover from once again being associated too closely with Matt? With Matt out of the picture, what should be Mike's next move? Here is the merged tribe after episode 8. Murlonio:Andrea, Ashley, David, Julie, Grant, Mike, Natalie, Phillip, Ralph, Rob and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Matt With Matt safely out of the way for now, we think Ometepe will shift their focus to the remaining Zapatera members and target Mike next.

  It took them 7 episodes, but the last remnants of Russell's alliance has finally been eliminated from the game. Stephanie's mentor must have been proud to see her exact another round of revenge in her parting comments. Who do you think has demonstrated the greater apptitude for the game: the group on Ometepe that blindly follows Rob or the Zapatera 6 who threw a challenge in an effort to clean up their tribe? If Matt returns, do you think Rob can welcome him back without risking a betrayal? Who do you think will be the first to flip on their tribe: Phillip, Andrea, David or Ralph? Does Rob have a strong enough alliance to protect him after the merge? Can you see any way for the outnumbered, remaining members of Zapatera to have a shot at winning this season? The merge is finally upon us. If you were playing, who would you want on your jury if you made it to the final tribal council? Here are the tribes after episode 7. Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Zapatera:David, Julie, Mike, Ralph and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Sarita vs. Matt Jo Ann thinks Mike will be voted out. Stacy thinks Rob will have the majority alliance and will target David as his biggest threat. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out? We've got several ways you can reach us.

  The intense action and drama of the early episodes appears to have left some of you feeling that we are in a bit of a lull after episode 6. Zapatera finished up with some house cleaning that started with Russell, and Rob's made Ometepe so comfortable that half the tribe doesn't even appear to be playing. Several folks mentioned that Redemption Island might be partially responsible for not yet being more invested in the remaining castaways. Fear not Survivor Fans. We are not quite at the half way point. Rest assured, there will be lots of great action to come! For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game.

  The surprises just keep coming. Who would have guessed in the beginning of the season that the "Natalie White clone", who looked like she was hand picked to be in an alliance with Russell, had no social game? Stephanie's storm showed up, but she wasn't immune to it's effects. The bitterness that she and Krista cultivated seems to have ensured that they will not be long for the game. All told, Zapatera took quite the beating this week as almost everyone was shown to be flawed in some manner: Mike was a klutz and doused the fire, Julie dwells on karmic retribution, Sarita made a bad decision at the challenge by picking Stephanie instead of David, Stephanie failed to solve the puzzle, Ralph didn't know his left from his right, David is a hot head, Steve is unhealthy and unathletic. Do you think we might be witnessing the beginning of the end of the Zapatera tribe? Can you see any way for Stephanie to survive? How long will Rob be able to hide the HII from his alliance? Do you think there is any chance that Matt and Andrea will reunite to get revenge on Ometepe? Does Krista stand a chance to upset Matt at Redemption Island? Here are the tribes after episode 5. Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Zapatera:David, Julie, Mike, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Krista vs. Matt We are speculating that the Ometepe win was a fluke, and predict that they will finally give Phillip the boot after they lose next week.

  That was the 1-2 punch, and he is finally down for the count. But just like a poisonous snake that's lethal even after you kill it, Russell found a way to strike one more time before he made his final exit. So much for Ralph keeping secrets. Wouldn't you have loved to see the Ometepe reaction when they found out that Zapatera threw the challenge? How much damage do you think Ralph's slip up will cause them down the road? Do you think Rob will end up sharing the HII with his alliance? Why do you think we never see anyone else from Ometepe looking for it? We didn't see much from Andrea this week. What do you think is going on with her? Who do you think will win the next RI showdown? Here are the tribes after episode 4. Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Zapatera:David, Julie, Krista, Mike, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Kristina vs. Matt We both think the decimation of Ometepe will continue.

  The surprises just keep coming. Until this episode, Russell had never been voted out. This season he is so disliked by his own tribe that they risked their future in the game to send him packing, if only momentarily. How about that Ralph? How long has it been since we've seen someone keep a secret when it comes to the HII? Do you think Ometepe's win will help them turn it around and shift the game in their favor? Do you think the Zapatera six knew that Russell would target Julie, or did she come up with the plan to scam him all by herself? Can you see a way for Stephanie to redeem herself? Who do you think will win the next RI showdown? Here are the tribes after episode 3. Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Kristina, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Zapatera:David, Julie, Krista, Mike, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Russell vs. Matt Jo Ann thinks Kristina we'll go next.

Looks like Russell is going to have to work his way through Ralph before he can get a shot at Rob. Has Phillip found his niche in Ometepe by pledging allegiance to Rob? How do you think Andrea will exact her revenge? Is Rob in any danger of losing control of his tribe? Why do you think Russell and Stephanie are so confident that they will be able to pull off a blindside? Who will you be rooting for in the first Redemption Island duel? Here are the tribes after episode 2. Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Kristina, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Zapatera:David, Julie, Krista, Mike, Russell, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie and Steve Redemption Island Duel: Francesca vs. Matthew We both think Russell will be the next to take dark walk to Redemption Island.

This week Colin Ganley of CigarTourism.com and Bob talk about the January 2011 trip to Nicaragua in which Bob will be participating. Also this week, the debut of "What's Hot, What's Not, What's Next" - Cigar retailers from around the country share buyer passions and passes and let us know what new releases are on order. This week Michael Herklots from Davidoff of Geneva, New York city stores (Madison Avenue and The Shops at Columbus Circle); Heather Haddad from Fumee Cigar Lounge in Austin, Texas; and Doug Fiore from Winston's Humidor in Midlothian, Virginia share their insights. Cigar of the Week - Esteban Carreras 5150 - The Esteban Carreras 5150 series is a medium bodied Corojo with an Ecuadorian grown Sumatra wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers and binder. Dark Side - RAMON ALLONES SMALL CLUB CORONAS Length: 110 Ring: 42 Format: Minuto Ramón Allones is one of the big names in the history of Habanos. Founded in 1837, it is also one of the oldest brands in production. A Galician by birth, Ramón Allones was the first cigar manufacturer to pack his cigars in boxes decorated with labels and stamped with his brand's emblem. He was the pioneer of the packaging that we know today. All of the Ramon Allones cigars are filled with a blend of tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region, characterised by their intense and complex taste. What else have you been smokin' Colin? Cruzado Mario What else have you been smokin' Dale? Torano Single Region Serie Jalapa Robusto 5 x 52 - One of the most exciting releases from IPCPR if you are into understanding how tobacco from one specific region tastes. In this case, all the tobacco in the Jalapa series comes from one farm in the Jalapa area of Nicaragua. It's very hard to make a deep, rich, complex blend from just one area, but Torano has done it with this cigar! Well balanced in strength, roundness and body, with earthy flavors & natural sweetness. The room aroma is a touch spicy and intoxicating! Try one of these to sample the character of Jalapa tobacco. Don Francisco Lancero - A gift to me from ER Doc during his visit last month, this cigar was perhaps the most flavorful cigar I smoked this week. Layer upon layer of tastes kept building, providing one of the most complex cigars I've had in a long time. Superb construction allowed a slow, cool smoke. Full bodied and medium in strength, the list of flavors noted is way long, but in the main; nuts, citrus, espresso, cedar and vanilla were the highlights. Casa Magna Colorado and Casa Magna Sungrown What else have you been smokin' Bob? CAO La Traviata Maduro - La Traviata Maduro is everything the La Traviata cigar should have been last year; why it took CAO a year to make the right cigar is beyond me. They ruined the Brazillia by making it in a monster 60 rg; however, this cigar makes up for it. The La Traviata Maduro proves that CAO can make good cigars without going all Hollywood. Torano Master - New blend from the Torano family. Carlos Torano has broken the mold at Torano CIgars and produced a slightly more full flavored cigar that is complex and pleasing. An outstanding cigar with complex flavor and great construction. Year after year the Torano family continues to put out fine cigars and now they are once again in charge of their own distribution. If you thought they only did mild-medium cigars, smoke this and you will change your mind. Macanudo Cru Royale - For me this was the biggest surprise of the IPCPR; it has flavor; it has style; and it has great construction. I want more of these. The Cru Royale demonstrates that General Cigar is not stuck in the past nor are they afraid to take a chance. I was disappointed in the results of using Ometepe tobacco in their other blends and this cigar shows you don't need trickery or gimmicks to make an excellent cigar. The PUNCH Upper Cut was a bland result of too many taste tests and committee work that resulted in a bland and disappointing cigar. The Cru Royale landed a hook on the Uppercut to put it on the mat. What's My Band? - #921 from Liz H. Upmann Reserve Maduro 5x50 Robusto with wonderful pre-smoke barnyard aromas. August Palio Cutter Contest Winner: Dave Wallace won a gold Palio Cutter. Enter the September contest to win a classic black Palio Cutter. Herf Line Reviews - If you call and leave a cigar review on the herf line and it is played on the show, you will receive a DogWatch Cigar Radio patch! You can reach the Herfline at 321-594-4373 - or cigar.radio on Skype. You can also send email to theshow@cigarmedia.tv. Origin of the term HERF: From Cigar Craig, http://cigarcraig.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/the-origin-of-the-word-herf/ Do you have a suggestion for the unbanded cigar of the week? Every week Bob and Dale include an “unbanded cigar” segment in their show in which they smoke a cigar without any markings and give their honest opinions. Bob then opens a sealed envelope and discovers the cigar’s name and manufacturer. If you have suggestions for the "What's My Band?" segment, please send them to liz@cigarmedia.tv. Music provided by the Figurados from their new album, "Lesson Two," and The Surfonics.

Isla de Ometepe and San Juan del Sur are two of the emerging tourist destinations in Nicaragua. We begin this podcast with sounds from the trip between Granada and Isla de Ometepe by boat, and finish up on the beach in San Juan del Sur via Maderas volcano & the jungle.
