So I have this new girlfriend, and although she now peddles cigars in a shop she used to be a forester with a recreation department. Mostly she ran the chipper but she likes and used chainsaws. She did ask me how many saws I need but when I told her I didn't know she laughed.
Anyway, while I was explaining to her the various merits of local firewood (pillow talk) she told me that while she was on a tour of the Perdomo cigar factory in the Dominican Republic she learned something about cedar she didn't know.
Apparently the cigar company packs their smokes in cedar boxes and they manufacture them from standing Cedar. They told her that they have to cut the Cedar tree in the dark so that the sap falls. They can't even cut on a full moon as there is too much light for the Cedar sap to fall.
I wonder if they were pulling her leg.... does anyone know if tree sap rises in the tree and falls with the sunlight or dark?
Incidentally I don't smoke Perdomos, I smoke Toranos....
