February is almost over ... hard to believe!
I managed to make it to two of the four events
last Thursday, as they were fairly close to each other. The J. Fuego event at Cigar Castle was my first stop and it was quite
a thrill to meet the man behind the much talked about J. Fuego cigar. The J. Fuego Delirium was an enjoyable smoke that started
the night just right. Jesus Fuego is a very knowledgeable cigar man and it was a pleasure talking to him about his experience,
the state of the industry, and what the future may bring. My next stop was at Tampa Humidor for their CAO event. I was hoping
to chat with my friend Armando, who recently took over the Orlando-Tampa corridor in addition to his previous South Florida
territory, after Kyle's departure. Unfortunately, he had another event that same night in South Florida, so his boss took
Armando's place for the event. He confirmed we won't be seeing the Flavourettes any longer; apparently they became too much
of a burden so we'll have to wait and see what they come up with next. For this event I chose a CAO Brazilia, which is still
one of my favorites, though there is a lot to be said about the new LX2, which I enjoy more as an after dinner cigar. Till
next week, mis amigos!

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
