Cuban rum and cigars (and German beer) and a game of chess in the Swiss Alps is about as good as it gets.
And the Catholic priesthood is the world's greatest fraternity.
And as we often say of Catholic life: a big steak, a big cigar, a big beer and a big conversation about big things is our great Catholic pleasure!

WOW! You really live the life. Does the Vatican not hire English-speaking tour guides? That could keep you in money for your time in Italy.
I second the comment. You have a wonderful life in Italy.
If it was me, I would continue my studies, and try for a teaching position in a University in Rome.
I wouldn't even think of coming back to the USA if I had this kind of life.
WOW is right. Awesome.
You're tempting me to take up smoking so that my appreciation of Catholic recreational life - which is already immense! - may be complete.
Awesome. We're very envious, JPS (in a Catholic way, of course).
Down Under
Chesterton or Hemingway?
Yes to visiting Ascona, and chess, and the companionship of a priest !
Rum ? I'm not too sure. A cigar ? Very definitely : Romeo y Julietta, for choice.
The Catholic Hemmingway!
little man is totally impressed...says he will be right over!
I'm glad you are not politically correct. Enjoy your cigars (I do too) - though moderation in all things ! (except prayer and going to Mass).
Fr. A.M.
