We are back home, thanks for all the suggestions. Vincent Arroyo ended up being both of our favorite visit :thumbs:

Time to even up the series!

I had a Gol! the other night for the first time (thanks Jake), and absolutely loved it. There is a lot of flavor jammed in that little cigar.

Prayers sent!

Living in Kentucky can be a major bummer sometimes :(
