Well, given time, good things can happen. Some of you were aware that my old "shop" was closing, which it did on 5/31. The pug suffered because of the Texas weather and no place to hang, herf or back. It took a bit of time, but two nice folks who already awn a shop in the main stream of...

My days are routine, breakfast smoke with coffee, light lunch, off to the shop, come home and get the mail and go up for dinner. So for packages there is a key left in our tiny mailbox for larger packages. In this case I got to open a 10 x 12 box and see an Amazon box. Well, we do support...

Seems @wrussell46 likes to pick on dogs, but one of the few pleasures is ( now get this one ), going to the mail box. Well, it just fit in our 4x4 box, but it was a pleasant surprise and unexpected. Thank you Bill.

Well, 12/1 my shop (3R's Cigars) hosted a Perdomo event. I have been a loyal customer for over 8 years and know the owner well. What I found interesting in the shop is somewhat small, a 20 x 10 humi and seating for 16 people with additional seating on the outdoor patio. It is located in a...

We recently had a new member ( Retail ) come on board to advertise their cigar and of course ask us to buy from them. As expected we asked for credentials and suggested that they let us try their cigar and we would give them our opinion. All we had to do was reply back with our address and...
