And the race is on!
The honor of hosting the first cigar tasting events of 2008 went to Cigar Castle in Temple Terrace and Gaspar's Cigar
Shop in Tampa. Keith Hager and the Caliente Girls were on hand making sure everyone was enjoying the Rocky Patel cigars
chosen for the evening at Gaspar's; my sources at Cigar City magazine tell me it was a complete success. Congrats! Cigar Castle,
on the other hand, was counting on the appearance of Miss Oliveros but, as luck would have it, she was supposed to be coming
from Orlando, and since I-4 was a no-go, she never made it. Nevertheless, we got to sample a very nice cigar from Oliveros,
so all was not lost. Nothing on the horizon for this week, though.

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
