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! I really enjoyed a DOn Juan Calavera Connecticut and n Umbagog on the beach! 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, and the places where all the creative magic happens. As I said, many were out to lunch, so it wasn’t buzzing with activity, but there were a few familiar faces there! Thanks Joe!
We left Drew Estate to try to catch up with Kevin And Jessica in Little Havana. I know that I could spend a week in Miami and not visit all of the cigar places I would like to see, or see all of the people I want, but this was a short trip. If there was one place to visit in Little Havana, I figured it would be El Titan de Bronze. We arranged to meet up with the CigarProps there. This is where one of my favorite cigars is (was?) made, and many great cigars are made. It’s amazing how many amazing cigars this little factory makes, considering they have eight rollers. We were fortunate to gain audience with Sandy Cobas, who gave us a tour. What a wonderful woman! She welcomed us and treated us like family and we couldn’t have been more fortunate. She showed us the aging rooms, introduced us to her mother, who was working packaging cigars and was very funny. They recommended a wonderful restaurant where we went to a late lunch/early dinner which was very good and we had a nice stroll along Calle Ocho. I always enjoy the times I can spend with my friends Kevin and Jessica. Even though we didn’t get around to enjoying a cigar together this time, it’s always a treat to catch up.

I actually really like the Mini Bluetooth one a lot, I have two now and might pick up another one at this price. I have to replace the battery in the WiFi one, I’ve been lazy. They just work. I get nothing out of this, just passing it along.
