Might be there around 3pm traffic pending.

We had a good turn out, good food, good beer, good cigars, and a few good people.

Sure. I hope no one has any special no cheese no bacon burger diets.

Alright guys, a few things came up that might make the Belmont a little less desirable. 1) This Saturday, there will be a fairly big race happening concerning the Horse Rachel Alexandra, Linky here 2) Parking will be a pain, and getting a table will be near impossible. So I propose we...

I'm kinda sad to see you leave NYC, but on the flip side, congratulations for the new found opportunity. I plan to make it tomorrow night, might be a little late around 7ish or so.

Almost tossed my salad after finishing it. It was all strength but had a monotonous flavour throughout, lacking any form of complexity. Definitely something I would smoke while mowing the lawn. Gene was still in Rhode Island working on how to compensate his company for the SCHIP tax, so...

Here are the last of them to finish off the experience... The finished product. As you might recognize, these are all of the Maduro torpedos. The shrinkwrap machine. Don't leave home without it. The boxes and boxes of CL3 ready for shipment. There ends the weekend get-away at Casa de...

Pictures of the aging room. Soon these will become cigars ready to be packed and shipped. Takes at least three months for the finished cigar to reach smokeable quality. The quality control room/blend room. They use a scale to weight the cigars, and if the bundles deviate too much from the...

This is how they pack the tobacco into bales. They use wax paper to cover the bundles, then use an enormous vice to press it down, then the canvas clothes are sewn together, and later labeled. One of the workers rolls a cigar for us, made entirely of ligero leaf. Very spicy, very...

Yet another living room. The lounging area downstairs. This is where we spent most of our smoking time, as it was conveniently located near the bar. This dining set was left by the previous owner of the house. I didn't know what prompted that person to have a Chinese influenced area, but...

Hey guys, I figured it's about time I get off my butt and actually post up some pics from my trip down to the factory. First, these are the guys I who joined us on the trip. There were only four people scheduled, and thanks to that, we all got our own room. From left to right: Tony, Dave...

Sorry Sam, I was hoping for tonight, but seems this week has me running around more often than usual. I hope you guys have fun.

Might be able to swing by Wednesday if things turn out well.

Won't be able to make this one, getting out late from work tomorrow.

Chinatown Icecream Factory 68 Bayard St., bet Mott and Bowery. But this is all just foreplay, we're still meeting at Florio's 192 Grand St. at ~ 6pm so far.

I'm actually more excited about the ice cream and salt and pepper pork chops than smoking cigars... how things change. :cool:

You might actually find us outside the Chinatown Icecream Factory just before closing. :laugh: Florio's is located at 192 Grand Street in Manhattan. Beware of Parking though, the meters run until 10pm now. And yes, 6pm would be a conservative time we all meet up... although Sean and myself...

Nothing much, I got there around 4:15, but had to leave at 6. My obligations came around earlier than expected.
