I don’t know if I mentioned this before or not, but while I was at the TPE show, I stopped into the J.C. Newman booth and introduced myself to Drew Newman, who’s the fourth generation Newman and General Council with the company. I remembered Drew from the Usenet days when he would post when he was about 16 years old and get a lot of crap for it. He was instrumental in getting the company online in the ’90s when the Cigar Family website and forum was one of the first and biggest out there. Later I was introduced to Drews uncle, Bobby Newman.

Now, ten years later, I still drown on about cigars, and, oddly, people read my droning. I’ve attended many IPCPR shows, a bunch of large and small events, and made a great many wonderful friends who I wouldn’t have met otherwise. My thanks goes to you, my readers, those who chose to waste your valuable time reading my nonsense!… Continue reading
