Hello CP members! I know I have been absent from here for quite a while and apologize for ignoring you. I opened Blue Havana II Cigars & Gifts in Alpharetta GA last September and have been quite busy. Things are going quite well, even in the slow month of January. The strip center I am in has a...

As some of you know, I am fairly new to this business (opened in September), and I'm looking for some advice from other retailers here.... I am located in an area with several Country Clubs and am planning to start marketing to them as outside sales. I plan to offer a loaner display humi for...

Join us on Friday October 27, 2006 from 4pm until 10pm for our Brazlian Carnivale! It's a bit late in the year (Carnivale in Rio de Janiero is usually in March) but we have a great lineup. Event Sponsored by Brazil Cigars and Tobacco featuring Dona Flor, Alonso Menendez and Aquarius Cigars...

My shipment of Havana VI's, P2's and Cabaiguans arrived this week. If you are in the Alpharetta GA area, stop on by and we'll burn one together! Jim

Sorry I haven't been here lately to update ya'll. Been pretty busy getting this thing off the ground. Blue Havana II Cigars and Gifts opened its' doors on Sept 2! The humidor is nearly fully stocked, with shipments received from most vendors. The GRAND OPENING PARTY will be held on Friday...

The Who never did a song named "Teenage Wasteland". This is one of the most mis-requested songs of all time. The true name of the song, of course, is "Baba O'Reilly"!

Shop is nearly finished (usual construction delays) and I hope to be open by Sept 1st! I have all the fixtures and the furniture will be there on Saturday. It is turning out better than I hoped! No pics yet (my designer has been taking all the construction progress pics) but I will be sure to...

And from the looks of it, his favorite smokes are Perdomo Exclusivos and JR Figurados.

Actually, the embargo effectively makes it illegal for an American citizen to do anything to help the Cuban economy (this includes purchasing or smoking ISOMs anywhere in the world!) Jim

I suppose if I come pick them up, I could save the $45 shipping? Also, someone sent me a cashiers check for $1000. Could I get 2 deals and $100 change? Thanks for all your help! Jim

Don't think this is me. I don't remember bringing a green shirt. Jim

Thanks to all for the kind words! I'm pushing hard to get this open and recoup some of my Vegas spending (over budget, as usual!). Finally got the building permit yesterday, so the buildout is starting today or tomorrow. Should see things take shape early next week, once the framing is...

The LGC RF Felicias Maduros/Naturals are sold/shipped in separate boxes. MSRP is $5.50 and they are scheduled to be shipped mid-October. Jim

The Master Blends 3 was released at the RDTA. Retail is $9-$12 per stick. It has Nicaraguan fillers and a sun-grown wrapper. The one I smoked was pretty good, and should get better with a little age! Jim

Realized that the new lines (Havana VI and Series P) are Nicaraguan made, not DR. Sorry for the mistake. Jim

How about for a current, reasonably easy to find stick? The cigar kiosk at the Las Vegas Airport had the Padron 40th Anny for $150 per stick!!!

OK, the big RTDA announcement (at least for me) is the advent of Blue Havana II Cigars and Gifts in Alpharetta, GA! I have partnered with David Stawasz, owner of Blue Havana Cigars and Gifts in Cumming, GA, to open the second (of what we hope will be many) Blue Havana. The new store will be...

It was great meeting you too! (You did a great job!). I also bumped into Smokeyballs and the Outlaw gang, as well as Puffstuff. Wish I could have met more of ya'll! Jim

LFD says these are shipping mid-August. Assuming they fill my order, I'll have them in the shop for $17.95 each (GA taxes). Jim
