It’s been an interesting week. I actually worked Monday through Friday this week, the first time in almost a year! Since take a vacation last week, and needing the weekend off to go to a wedding in Massachusetts this weekend, The schedule worked out that way. Next week I’ll get back to working weekends and having weekdays off. So I posted so quick news items, one of which was relevant to one of my favorite local shops, who’s annual charity event which I usually report on here I missed. I also only slipped one new cigar in. I did smoke some great cigars though.
The Alec Bradley Magic Toast has quickly become my favorite AB cigar, passing the Nica Puro. That’s a cigar that is rich, full of flavor and complexity. It’s another cigar that is sweet and makes a great desert!… Continue reading

A Quick Trip to Miami, El Titan, KMA Talk Radio, Etc.
I don’t get away much, but when an opportunity comes up to take a quick vacation and slip in some cigar stops, we have to take it! I’ve wanted to have a vacation where we just spend some time doing nothing but relaxing on a beach for years, and we spent a few days doing just that. Having a cigar on the beach in the morning was nice, although it was windy, which created some challenges! We stayed a block from the beach in Miami Beach, so it was a quick walk, and the water was warm! On Friday we took a drive and dropped in on Joe Gro at Drew Estate’s offices, which had an “out for lunch” sign on the door, which was initially disappointing, although we did just drop by. We were hoping to surprise CigarProp Kevin and Jessica there, but they ran ahead of schedule and left just before we arrived. We finally gained access and caught up with Joe, who gave us the tour. The warehouse there is enormous, loaded with racks of pallets of cigars. The offices are as you’d expect, decorated with all of the great DE swag. As I said, many were out to lunch, so it wasn’t buzzing with activity, but there were a few familiar faces there!… Continue reading
