El Presidente Posted August 21, 2023 Author Posted August 21, 2023 I am always intrigued as to the naming of cigars. In this case here, "Yosemites" Outside of Yosemites National Park in in the western Sierra Nevada. Can anyone shed some light? 1
Fuzz Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Maybe they are really strong cigars. What does Yosemite mean? Yohhe'meti (Southern Miwok) or Yos.s.e'meti (Central Miwok) originally referred to the Indian tribe that lived in Yosemite Valley. Yosemite means literally “those who kill” (Yos, “to kill,” the modifier e, “one who,” and the plural suffix -meti). It was used by the surrounding Miwok tribes. The Yosemite people were referred to as killers by these surrounding tribes, who feared them. The Yosemite tribe, led by Chief Tenaya, were composed of renegades from multiple tribes, including Mono Paiute from the eastern Sierra. The Paiute were traditional enemies of the more-peaceful Miwok people. 1
El Presidente Posted August 21, 2023 Author Posted August 21, 2023 On that basis.....I assume it was full bodied 1
