Impossible de découvrir Cuba sans s’immerger dans la culture du tabac. Si les cigares cubains sont célèbres dans le monde entier, ils sont ici encrés dans le quotidien des locaux. Cette immersion vous emmène au coeur d’une petite exploitation pour y apprendre les techniques de culture du tabac ainsi que le processus de fabrication traditionnel des cigares.
La région de Pinar de Rio est le lieu de prédilection pour s’imprégner de la culture du tabac. Cette région possède les plantations les plus réputées notamment grâce à sa terre très fertile et son microclimat. Alors si de nombreuses petites exploitations sont logées dans ce paysage verdoyant, vous pouvez vous rendre à la finca Macondo où l’on se fera un plaisir de vous recevoir.
Pour s’y rendre depuis la rue principale de Viñales, dirigez vous vers la célèbre Finca Agroecologica El Paraiso, après le virage de la route principale, continuez tout droit, la route commence légèrement à monter. Il vous faudra emprunter la 3ème petite route à gauche (au niveau d’une maison bleue au toit en tôles rouges/orangées) puis continuez jusqu’à voir sur la gauche une petite cabane grillagée portant l’inscription MACONDO. Demandez aux habitants du coin, ils sauront vous guider.
“El Professor”, de son surnom, vous accueillera avec plaisir pour vous expliquer le processus de fabrication d’un produit qu’il connaît bien. En effet, il nous a confié que pour lui, il considère que la journée a été bonne lorsqu’il a fumé 2 cigares, très bonne lorsqu’il en a fumé 3. Oui, on vous avez dit, le cigare à Cuba fait partie du quotidien.
Ce n’est pas pour cela qu’il en est accro, les cigares sont sans nicotine !
Chapeau de paille sur la tête, lunettes de soleil, cigare au bec et drapeau du Che en arrière plan, il a tout à fait le style de l’exploitant de tabac cubain.
finca Macondo. C’est là qu’El professor nous reçoit autour d’une table pour nous expliquer le processus d’exploitation et de fabrication du tabac. Période de récolte, temps de séchage, différence entre les feuilles de tabac et entre les cigares, technique de roulage, de coupage et de dégustation, il nous dit tout. Tout en nous montrant comment rouler le cigare bien sûr !
Nous en fumons ensuite un avec lui en trempant la tête du cigare dans le miel pour plus de saveur. Les arômes de café, citron, miel dénotent avec les goûts auxquels sont habitués les fumeurs de chez nous.
Nous faisons ensuite un tour du côté de la plantation de tabac puis nous entrons dans la cabane réservée au séchage des feuilles de tabac où encore pas mal de feuilles sèchent pendues à des poutres. El professor nous montre comment il asperge les feuilles d’un mélange d’épices, de citron, de café et de miel qui donne aux cigares ce goût si particulier.
t's impossible to discover Cuba without immersing yourself in tobacco growing. Cuban cigars are famous all over the world, but they are here in the everyday life of the locals. This immersion takes you to the heart of a small farm to learn the techniques of growing tobacco and the process of traditional cigar manufacturing.
The region of Pinar de Rio is the favorite place to soak up the culture of tobacco. This region has the most famous plantations thanks to its very fertile land and its microclimate. So if many small farms are housed in this green landscape, you can go to Macondo finca where we will be happy to receive you.
To get there from the main street of Viñales, head towards the famous Finca Agroecologica El Paraiso, after the turn of the main road, go straight, the road starts to climb slightly. You will have to take the 3rd small road on the left (at the level of a blue house with red / orange plate roof) then continue until you see on the left a small screened cabin with the inscription MACONDO. Ask the locals, they will guide you.
"El Professor", his nickname, will welcome you with pleasure to explain the process of making a product he knows well. Indeed, he told us that for him, he considers that the day was good when he smoked 2 cigars, very good when he smoked 3. Yes, we told you, the cigar in Cuba is part Daily.
This is not why he is addicted, cigars are nicotine free!
Straw hat on his head, sunglasses, cigar in the beak and flag of Che in the background, he has quite the style of the Cuban tobacco operator.
Macondo finca. It is here that El professor receives us around a table to explain the process of exploitation and manufacture of tobacco. Harvesting period, drying time, difference between tobacco leaves and between cigars, technique of rolling, cutting and tasting, it tells us everything. While showing us how to roll the cigar of course!
We then smoke one with him, soaking the cigar's head in the honey for more flavor. The aromas of coffee, lemon, honey and tastes are familiar to smokers in our country.
We then make a tour of the side of the tobacco plantation then we enter the hut reserved for drying tobacco leaves where still a lot of leaves dry hanging from the beams. The professor shows us how he sprinkles the leaves with a mixture of spices, lemon, coffee and honey, which gives the cigars that particular taste.

Dans le cadre de l’exercice ARDENT DEFENDER 2017, les équipes de neutralisation des explosifs et des dispositifs explosifs de circonstance exécuteront des scénarios qui leur permettront de mettre en pratique les techniques de neutralisation et d’exploitation sécuritaire des explosifs et de lutte contre les réseaux menaçants qui les utilisent. L’environnement d’entraînement favorisera le perfectionnement de leurs compétences et le renforcement de l’interopérabilité avec nos alliés, les nations partenaires, Affaires mondiales Canada et les agences canadiennes d’application de la loi.
Cette année, l’exercice aura pour thème la lutte contre les menaces d’explosions dans le cadre des opérations de soutien de la paix. Les scénarios mettront en évidence la nature complexe des menaces rencontrées durant de telles missions et le besoin critique d’entraînement commun avec les forces militaires étrangères, les organisations civiles et les agents d’application de la loi.
Johnny Weissmüller doit sa première réputation à ses exploits de nageur. Il s'est signalé en gagnant cinq médailles d'or aux Jeux Olympiques de 1924 et 1928. De plus, il détenait 51 records du monde et est sorti vainqueur de 52 championnats nationaux. Et ce n'est pas fini: il a gagné 36 titres nationaux individuels et, durant les dix qu'a durée sa carrière de nageur amateur, il n'a perdu aucune compétition sur des distances de 50 verges à 1/2 mille. Son record dans le 100 m libre n'a été brisé qu'au bout de 17 ans...
Il est probable cependant que, de nos jours, Johnny Weissmüller le nageur ait été totalement éclipsé par Johnny Weissmuller l'homme-singe. Au terme de sa carrière sportive, il a été engagé pour incarner Tarzan à l'écran. Il a tenu ce rôle pendant de nombreuses années, dans des dizaines de productions populaires.
Il est encore plus probable que l'origine roumaine de Johnny Weissmuller soit ignorée par la plupart, du moins en dehors de cercles de connaisseurs ou d'ex-compatriotes.

Architecture in Vienna
Vienna's 2,000-year history is present in a unique density in the cityscape. The layout of the center dates back to the Roman city and medieval road network. Romanesque and Gothic churches characterize the streets and squares as well as palaces and mansions of the baroque city of residence. The ring road is an expression of the modern city of the 19th century, in the 20th century extensive housing developments set accents in the outer districts. Currently, large-scale urban development measures are implemented; distinctive buildings of international star architects complement the silhouette of the city.
Due to its function as residence of the emperor and European power center, Vienna for centuries stood in the focus of international attention, but it was well aware of that too. As a result, developed an outstanding building culture, and still today on a worldwide scale only a few cities can come up with a comparable density of high-quality architecture. For several years now, Vienna has increased its efforts to connect with its historical highlights and is drawing attention to itself with some spectacular new buildings. The fastest growing city in the German-speaking world today most of all in residential construction is setting standards. Constants of the Viennese architecture are respect for existing structures, the palpability of historical layers and the dialogue between old and new.
Culmination of medieval architecture: the Stephansdom
The oldest architectural landmark of the city is St. Stephen's Cathedral. Under the rule of the Habsburgs, defining the face of the city from the late 13th century until 1918 in a decisive way, the cathedral was upgraded into the sacral monument of the political ambitions of the ruling house. The 1433 completed, 137 meters high southern tower, by the Viennese people affectionately named "Steffl", is a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture in Europe. For decades he was the tallest stone structure in Europe, until today he is the undisputed center of the city.
The baroque residence
Vienna's ascension into the ranks of the great European capitals began in Baroque. Among the most important architects are Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. Outside the city walls arose a chain of summer palaces, including the garden Palais Schwarzenberg (1697-1704) as well as the Upper and Lower Belvedere of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1714-22). Among the most important city palaces are the Winter Palace of Prince Eugene (1695-1724, now a branch of the Belvedere) and the Palais Daun-Kinsky (auction house in Kinsky 1713-19). The emperor himself the Hofburg had complemented by buildings such as the Imperial Library (1722-26) and the Winter Riding School (1729-34). More important, however, for the Habsburgs was the foundation of churches and monasteries. Thus arose before the city walls Fischer von Erlach's Karlskirche (1714-39), which with its formal and thematic complex show façade belongs to the major works of European Baroque. In colored interior rooms like that of St. Peter's Church (1701-22), the contemporary efforts for the synthesis of architecture, painting and sculpture becomes visible.
Upgrading into metropolis: the ring road time (Ringstraßenzeit)
Since the Baroque, reflections on extension of the hopelessly overcrowed city were made, but only Emperor Franz Joseph ordered in 1857 the demolition of the fortifications and the connection of the inner city with the suburbs. 1865, the Ring Road was opened. It is as the most important boulevard of Europe an architectural and in terms of urban development achievement of the highest rank. The original building structure is almost completely preserved and thus conveys the authentic image of a metropolis of the 19th century. The public representational buildings speak, reflecting accurately the historicism, by their style: The Greek Antique forms of Theophil Hansen's Parliament (1871-83) stood for democracy, the Renaissance of the by Heinrich Ferstel built University (1873-84) for the flourishing of humanism, the Gothic of the Town Hall (1872-83) by Friedrich Schmidt for the medieval civic pride.
Dominating remained the buildings of the imperial family: Eduard van der Nüll's and August Sicardsburg's Opera House (1863-69), Gottfried Semper's and Carl Hasenauer's Burgtheater (1874-88), their Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History (1871-91) and the Neue (New) Hofburg (1881-1918 ). At the same time the ring road was the preferred residential area of mostly Jewish haute bourgeoisie. With luxurious palaces the families Ephrussi, Epstein or Todesco made it clear that they had taken over the cultural leadership role in Viennese society. In the framework of the World Exhibition of 1873, the new Vienna presented itself an international audience. At the ring road many hotels were opened, among them the Hotel Imperial and today's Palais Hansen Kempinski.
Laboratory of modernity: Vienna around 1900
Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06) was one of the last buildings in the Ring road area Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06), which with it façade, liberated of ornament, and only decorated with "functional" aluminum buttons and the glass banking hall now is one of the icons of modern architecture. Like no other stood Otto Wagner for the dawn into the 20th century: His Metropolitan Railway buildings made the public transport of the city a topic of architecture, the church of the Psychiatric hospital at Steinhofgründe (1904-07) is considered the first modern church.
With his consistent focus on the function of a building ("Something impractical can not be beautiful"), Wagner marked a whole generation of architects and made Vienna the laboratory of modernity: in addition to Joseph Maria Olbrich, the builder of the Secession (1897-98) and Josef Hoffmann, the architect of the at the western outskirts located Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904) and founder of the Vienna Workshop (Wiener Werkstätte, 1903) is mainly to mention Adolf Loos, with the Loos House at the square Michaelerplatz (1909-11) making architectural history. The extravagant marble cladding of the business zone stands in maximal contrast, derived from the building function, to the unadorned facade above, whereby its "nudity" became even more obvious - a provocation, as well as his culture-critical texts ("Ornament and Crime"), with which he had greatest impact on the architecture of the 20th century. Public contracts Loos remained denied. His major works therefore include villas, apartment facilities and premises as the still in original state preserved Tailor salon Knize at Graben (1910-13) and the restored Loos Bar (1908-09) near the Kärntner Straße (passageway Kärntner Durchgang).
Between the Wars: International Modern Age and social housing
After the collapse of the monarchy in 1918, Vienna became capital of the newly formed small country of Austria. In the heart of the city, the architects Theiss & Jaksch built 1931-32 the first skyscraper in Vienna as an exclusive residential address (Herrengasse - alley 6-8). To combat the housing shortage for the general population, the social democratic city government in a globally unique building program within a few years 60,000 apartments in hundreds of apartment buildings throughout the city area had built, including the famous Karl Marx-Hof by Karl Ehn (1925-30). An alternative to the multi-storey buildings with the 1932 opened International Werkbundsiedlung was presented, which was attended by 31 architects from Austria, Germany, France, Holland and the USA and showed models for affordable housing in greenfield areas. With buildings of Adolf Loos, André Lurçat, Richard Neutra, Gerrit Rietveld, the Werkbundsiedlung, which currently is being restored at great expense, is one of the most important documents of modern architecture in Austria.
Modernism was also expressed in significant Villa buildings: The House Beer (1929-31) by Josef Frank exemplifies the refined Wiener living culture of the interwar period, while the house Stonborough-Wittgenstein (1926-28, today Bulgarian Cultural Institute), built by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein together with the architect Paul Engelmann for his sister Margarete, by its aesthetic radicalism and mathematical rigor represents a special case within contemporary architecture.
Expulsion, war and reconstruction
After the "Anschluss (Annexation)" to the German Reich in 1938, numerous Jewish builders, architects (female and male ones), who had been largely responsible for the high level of Viennese architecture, have been expelled from Austria. During the Nazi era, Vienna remained largely unaffected by structural transformations, apart from the six flak towers built for air defense of Friedrich Tamms (1942-45), made of solid reinforced concrete which today are present as memorials in the cityscape.
The years after the end of World War II were characterized by the reconstruction of the by bombs heavily damaged city. The architecture of those times was marked by aesthetic pragmatism, but also by the attempt to connect with the period before 1938 and pick up on current international trends. Among the most important buildings of the 1950s are Roland Rainer's City Hall (1952-58), the by Oswald Haerdtl erected Wien Museum at Karlsplatz (1954-59) and the 21er Haus of Karl Schwanzer (1958-62).
The youngsters come
Since the 1960s, a young generation was looking for alternatives to the moderate modernism of the reconstruction years. With visionary designs, conceptual, experimental and above all temporary architectures, interventions and installations, Raimund Abraham, Günther Domenig, Eilfried Huth, Hans Hollein, Walter Pichler and the groups Coop Himmelb(l)au, Haus-Rucker-Co and Missing Link rapidly got international attention. Although for the time being it was more designed than built, was the influence on the postmodern and deconstructivist trends of the 1970s and 1980s also outside Austria great. Hollein's futuristic "Retti" candle shop at Charcoal Market/Kohlmarkt (1964-65) and Domenig's biomorphic building of the Central Savings Bank in Favoriten (10th district of Vienna - 1975-79) are among the earliest examples, later Hollein's Haas-Haus (1985-90), the loft conversion Falkestraße (1987/88) by Coop Himmelb(l)au or Domenig's T Center (2002-04) were added. Especially Domenig, Hollein, Coop Himmelb(l)au and the architects Ortner & Ortner (ancient members of Haus-Rucker-Co) by orders from abroad the new Austrian and Viennese architecture made a fixed international concept.
MuseumQuarter and Gasometer
Since the 1980s, the focus of building in Vienna lies on the compaction of the historic urban fabric that now as urban habitat of high quality no longer is put in question. Among the internationally best known projects is the by Ortner & Ortner planned MuseumsQuartier in the former imperial stables (competition 1987, 1998-2001), which with institutions such as the MUMOK - Museum of Modern Art Foundation Ludwig, the Leopold Museum, the Kunsthalle Wien, the Architecture Center Vienna and the Zoom Children's Museum on a wordwide scale is under the largest cultural complexes. After controversies in the planning phase, here an architectural compromise between old and new has been achieved at the end, whose success as an urban stage with four million visitors (2012) is overwhelming.
The dialogue between old and new, which has to stand on the agenda of building culture of a city that is so strongly influenced by history, also features the reconstruction of the Gasometer in Simmering by Coop Himmelb(l)au, Wilhelm Holzbauer, Jean Nouvel and Manfred Wehdorn (1999-2001). Here was not only created new housing, but also a historical industrial monument reinterpreted into a signal in the urban development area.
New Neighborhood
In recent years, the major railway stations and their surroundings moved into the focus of planning. Here not only necessary infrastructural measures were taken, but at the same time opened up spacious inner-city residential areas and business districts. Among the prestigious projects are included the construction of the new Vienna Central Station, started in 2010 with the surrounding office towers of the Quartier Belvedere and the residential and school buildings of the Midsummer quarter (Sonnwendviertel). Europe's largest wooden tower invites here for a spectacular view to the construction site and the entire city. On the site of the former North Station are currently being built 10,000 homes and 20,000 jobs, on that of the Aspangbahn station is being built at Europe's greatest Passive House settlement "Euro Gate", the area of the North Western Railway Station is expected to be developed from 2020 for living and working. The largest currently under construction residential project but can be found in the north-eastern outskirts, where in Seaside Town Aspern till 2028 living and working space for 40,000 people will be created.
In one of the "green lungs" of Vienna, the Prater, 2013, the WU campus was opened for the largest University of Economics of Europe. Around the central square spectacular buildings of an international architect team from Great Britain, Japan, Spain and Austria are gathered that seem to lead a sometimes very loud conversation about the status quo of contemporary architecture (Hitoshi Abe, BUSarchitektur, Peter Cook, Zaha Hadid, NO MAD Arquitectos, Carme Pinós).
Flying high
International is also the number of architects who have inscribed themselves in the last few years with high-rise buildings in the skyline of Vienna and make St. Stephen's a not always unproblematic competition. Visible from afar is Massimiliano Fuksas' 138 and 127 meters high elegant Twin Tower at Wienerberg (1999-2001). The monolithic, 75-meter-high tower of the Hotel Sofitel at the Danube Canal by Jean Nouvel (2007-10), on the other hand, reacts to the particular urban situation and stages in its top floor new perspectives to the historical center on the other side.
Also at the water stands Dominique Perrault's DC Tower (2010-13) in the Danube City - those high-rise city, in which since the start of construction in 1996, the expansion of the city north of the Danube is condensed symbolically. Even in this environment, the slim and at the same time striking vertically folded tower of Perrault is beyond all known dimensions; from its Sky Bar, from spring 2014 on you are able to enjoy the highest view of Vienna. With 250 meters, the tower is the tallest building of Austria and almost twice as high as the St. Stephen's Cathedral. Vienna, thus, has acquired a new architectural landmark which cannot be overlooked - whether it also has the potential to become a landmark of the new Vienna, only time will tell. The architectural history of Vienna, where European history is presence and new buildings enter into an exciting and not always conflict-free dialogue with a great and outstanding architectural heritage, in any case has yet to offer exciting chapters.

One of several Melbourne pubs licensed in 1853, all of them claiming to be the oldest in the city.
His exploits may not have led to the sort of national obsession afforded fellow bushranger Ned Kelly, yet there was a time when Francis Melville’s life certainly captured the imagination of the young colony. The self-titled “Captain” spent much of his career as a bushranger pretending to be a gentleman before holding up coaches full on their return from the goldfields.
The year in which Melville was eventually arrested, 1853, was also the year the first stones were laid for Mac’s Hotel on Melbourne’s Franklin Street. Much like the supposed gentleman bushranger, it’s a building that possesses its own quiet charm.
Having first opened its doors back in 1855, the building which Captain Melville calls home is one of the oldest licensed venues and comfortably among the oldest buildings in Melbourne’s CBD. The back of the original coach house was even heavily fortified to safeguard the gold of those passing through – a measure likely inspired by Captain Melville and his ilk.
Today, many generations on from those horse and carriage days, the Franklin Street building has undergone many changes before being transformed into its current guise at the start of 2013. The modern Melville still retains much of its classical appeal, with the grand bluestone building appearing as though it’s been transported directly from a country outpost on the way to the goldfields.
Inside, its expansive interior is no less impressive: the pub’s booth-filled front bar greets all those who walk through its French doors, while towards the back a separate dining area inhabits an open space where long rows of tables await those planning a long meal.
Those two areas are key to explaining a pub which tends to take its food and booze just as seriously as each other. The menu is geared towards restaurant quality pub fare with a particular focus on sustainable food sourced from local producers.
Most of the Melville’s 14 taps rotate heavily through a broad swathe of Australian craft breweries. Local Melbourne breweries like Stomping Ground and KAIJU! appear alongside the likes of Hobart’s Moo Brew and Byron Bay's Stone & Wood. The decision to stick with the locals is driven by a desire to serve the beer as fresh as possible; small but regular orders are made for the same reason – to ensure beer isn't sat around ageing awaiting a free tap. Meanwhile, anyone looking for a break from beer would do well to head upstairs to Lock & Key, the late night cocktail bar that's a particular favourite among Melbourne’s hospo community.
Captain Melville’s location on the CBD’s northern boundary also means it's surrounded by offices, creating a regular stream of lunchtime and after work crowds while the ever-growing number of apartments rising around the building contribute plenty of regulars too.
Completing the picture is a front facing beer garden on a plant-filled patio in one of the CBD’s quieter streets, a location that adds to the feeling of being transported to another place and time: a place where bushrangers may have roamed and the beer was all local.
The gentleman thief would be proud.
