Saka in Cali last night...

[MaytagMan]

So he actually made it out here to California - Modesto of all places. He did an event at my local lounge, so I stopped in. We spent a few minutes reminiscing about the old days of cigar communities online with the old ASC newsgroup and how things have changed over the years.

As usual, he was in rare form... first thing he said to section I was sitting in... "Did you guys pay to be here tonight?" When we all nodded our heads, he responded with, "Well you guys got fucked!" hahahaha!


It was a great time - good cigars and good conversation.


Some pics:

Brulee Blue to start the day... well I should say to start the event... to be fair, I had a couple of cigars there at the lounge before the event...

Me with my Brass ASC Zippo and Steve...




Choked on the CA tobacco taxes to buy a box of Brulee there at the event.




Buying the box meant I also got a #SakaSquatch that I had him sign:

That is so cool. Thanks for sharing.

Cali taxes are so bad. It's bad enoough to pay full retail... but then add another 60 something percent. Insane.

Yeah, it is tough... I always buy a 2-3 singles when I stop by the lounge, but otherwise have to buy out of state or country.
