Busy week this week! First, some housekeeping. If you’ve been a subscriber to my email notifications, and have noticed the lack of emails over the last several months, hopefully that is at an end.

News: Coming Soon, Apparently, Trash Panda Cigars
One of my guilty pleasures is watching either of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies whenever they are on TV. I saw them both in the theater, I’m not really that into movies in that genre that much, in fact I have a little trouble keeping track of some of the superheroes and whatnot in the various “universes”.

J.C. Newman’s Yagua and Oscar Valladares 2012 Maduro Cigars
My least favorite time of the year arrived this week, Autumn.

This is interesting. I’ve long maintained that the folks in the cigar shop were, for the most part, disconnected from the online side of the cigar culture, and the online part was a very small fraction of the overall cigar community.

Maybe I’m thinking long term, but suppose this embraces social media, and with the touch of a phone, a cigar consumer can connect with a world that he never really knew existed outside of his cigar shop? Perhaps it’s overly optimistic, but it would be nice to have all the information available at a tap! Interesting stuff!
