Kennedy March

[KookaRocha]

Okay, for those of you that don't know what a Kennedy March is, it's a 50 mile walk made with no special training or preparation. It was Kennedy's thought that any healthy American should be able to get up and walk 50 miles.

So, my FIL and I are going to do a walk in a few weeks. We're not delaying for training that just happens to be the first available weekend for him to join me.

Question here is, well a request actually, I'm gonna take 5 cigars and smoke them through the day. We figure based on our average pace we should make between 3-4MPH, so we'll be out walking for 18 or so hours.

I want to take 5 cigars that won't be so overpowering that I'll feel sick or not want another. But also some that I'll clearly remember smoking as we leave Herndon Virginia stop at Kennedy's grave in Arlington National Cemetery and return.

Suggestions?

Water and comfortable footwear. As for the cigars, bring ones you will enjoy.

And at least one extra pair of socks.

I'm no stranger to long distance walks, so I have no worries there. I'm just thinking I want some cigars I haven't tried, or may not normally consider.

Naturally, I think you ought to have an H. Upmann in the bunch for any event bearing Kennedy's name.

Ultra bonus baller points if it's a Petit Upmann.

For some reason I hadn't thought of that.. Great idea. Now to find the petit corona. There's one down, four to go.

The H. Upmann Petit that Kennedy liked is actually more similar to the half corona... so go with either of those. That should widen your search parameters

I like this idea as well.

 

[KookaRocha]

I like the sound of the Calaveras, I haven't had one yet.

I'm gonna look for an H.Upmann half corona next chance I get to go to a bigger B&M.

Yeah.... you won't find them at a B&M...

They are CCs.

Lol, should have expected that. Fine, I'll find a smallish non Cuban H.Upmann and call it.

Orrrrr... you could just PM me your addy.

Yeah, you kinda Kennedy-walked right into that one.

I forgot the people I was dealing with. I've been in Northern Virginia lately, where people have difficulty acknowledging a greeting yet alone offering generosity.

Looks like November 2nd is the day. Father in law is gonna join me, he's not a cigar smoker so hopefully I don't smoke him out.

Okay, I feel it's safe to comment on here again without fear of getting bombed again. (No mail tomorrow and the walk starts at 4am Monday)

I have the H. Upmann @Stogie_Bear bombed me, I'm taking a Papas Fritas, I'm thinking of a CAO Flathead (it'll be the first time) and I may hit up a shop tomorrow.

Anything I should look out for?
