Ah, it's banned on public beaches, I guess it's different on private beaches. Actually, there aren't any private beaches in Miami.

Beach laws are strange laws with all kinds of loopholes and workarounds, and these laws differ from place to place.  

I own a house on the beach in Amagansett, NY.  I own the actual beach, from the dune grass to the high tide and pay property taxes on it, but there is an easement, so I can't set up any permanent structures or restrict anyone from using it. All I can do is restrict access to the beach on my land that is in front of the beach, which is what everyone does, and it why the beach is never too crowded. 

Whereas, when I go to the New Jersey shore, there are beach clubs that actually fence off their part of the beach so that only members or paying customers can use it. That would never fly where my beach house is in the Hamptons. They have to make it appear as though the beaches are for everyone. Plus they like everything to look natural, and fenced in parts of the beach does not look natural.

I don't know what the laws are in Miami. They may or may not refer to them as private beaches, but either way, every hotel has a beach hut set up with a computer ,and beach attendants to make sure you are a guest of the hotel, and storage units on the beach where they keep the chairs, etc, etc, etc. So whether or not something is called a private vs public beach is dicey at best.

For your NCs in Utah question, John just posted the best NC I've had that wasn't a Nudie. It's not like a CC, it's just damn good.

Beast of a cigar! Hard to put into perspective until you see it in someone's hand. Congrats on the win.

How was it?

Thanks! It started out light-bodied, with light woodiness and cookie dough. Good draw, tons of smoke. As usual with big perfectos, the burn line needed to be coaxed until after passing the bulb. Once it settled down, the strength and body starts creeping up, but very slowly. In the middle third, the cookie dough is now baked - I am getting a little of the caramelised edges of the cookie. And then it just stays the same until the end. All in all, pleasant, if nothing spectacular - I am fine with a cigar not showing much complexity or evolution if it just stays "nice", and this one did.

P.S. I got none of the fabled peanuts, but maybe that's just my peculiar palate.

Where you see $500k Rolls Royces in the tiny driveways of tiny little houses that look like they are worth $200k, but are really worth $10M.
