		<title><![CDATA[The Cigar Lover]]></title>
		<link>http://villasemana.com/blog/blog.php?id=14</link>
		<description><![CDATA[…the food at the Villa Semana restaurant is excellent-the restaurant looks over the main infinity pool and it very romantic in the evenings. Service is attentive but not invasive. Most important is that the staff tries their best to give you what you ask for. Then there are the cigars-<br /><br /><img src="http://villasemana.com/blog/upload/cigar1.jpg" alt="http://villasemana.com/blog/upload/cigar1.jpg" title="http://villasemana.com/blog/upload/cigar1.jpg" /><br /><br />Villa Semana has recently added a small but very good collection of Habanos in a very elegant display humidor. My best times spent in Semana were the afternoon coffees with a good Cuban cigar. Almost as good as smoking in Cuba itself!<br /><br /><img src="http://villasemana.com/blog/upload/cigar2.jpg" alt="http://villasemana.com/blog/upload/cigar2.jpg" title="http://villasemana.com/blog/upload/cigar2.jpg" />]]></description>
