1st, 2009, and haven't been getting weekly emails from the club, please sign up again! We changed web hosting providers and
the e-mail address we were using to send the information to our databases was associated with the previous provider.
Just recently this was brought to our attention and we have corrected the issue. Thank you for your understanding!

Super Bowl Week, Part 1
Tuesday night I went to check out the new cigar shop that replaced "Havana Dreams" in Ybor City. The new shop is called
"Casa Del Tabacco" [sic] and the occasion was the "Don Gonzalez" tasting event. While enjoying my "DG" Torpedo Maduro I had
the opportunity to chat with Ariel, the shop owner, and talk about all the new features of the shop, as well as what's in
the future for "Casa De Tabacco" All in all, I was very impressed with the new look, the friendliness of the management and
staff, and the ambience of the place. I wholeheartedly recommend you stop by next time you're in Ybor City and check it out.
By the way, "Don Gonzalez" events are taking place all over town as part of Super Bowl week so don't miss your chance
to meet (or greet) Don Pedro Gonzalez, the man behind those wonderful "DG" cigars. He's quite knowledgeable and very friendly.
His last stop will be at "Smokers Den" on Sunday, Super Bowl day, and he tells me it's going to be the mother of all cigar
events! I am planning on been there and I hope to see many familiar faces, so join us and watch the game in a 120" screen
while puffing away at a "DG" and partaking of all the goodies Angelo and his team will be providing. See you there!

First event of 2009!
This Thursday, January 8th, Gaspar's Cigar Shoppe is hosting a "Pig Roast & Gators Cigar Event",
our first cigar event of 2009! If you are wondering why you didn't get an email announcing this event from us, it's because
our e-mail is having problems and we are unable to send anything until it's fixed. Hopefully you'll see this announcement
and make it to the Pig Roast Fest by Jimmy Giglio at the Gators Cigar Event featuring Black Bart cigars
by Jeff Buckingham. Hope you can make it!

Smoking a cigar is nothing like smoking a cigarette. When
you smoke a cigar, you have time to think. It teaches you patience and tolerance, and gives you an appreciation of good company.

Great Cigar Quotes! Click here to check them out.
"Smoking a cigar gives you a chance to sit back and take things slow for a bit. You can wipe all of the day's thoughts out of your
brain for that short period and just relax and enjoy the peace"
Ron Andrews, Olde Punta Gorda Cigar Emporium
