What a night!! $3000+ raised for the Fire Company!!!! Nestor Miranda Wooed everyone with his private collection and his Don Lino Africa Salomons rolled exclusivly for the event!! We also had a special stick re-blended by GAry for the show. A Lempira Titan!! 6x60!! Largest one in the line. Gary changed a few things though.... A Costa Rican Maduro Wrapper bursting with the natural sweetness that only it could bring, another Costa Rican Maduro leaf used for the binder, with Ligero and Yamastran fillers!! This is the first Lepira I've smoked and let me tell ya, the rest have a lot to live up to!!!.
Both of these blends are availabe only at Cigarette City and DOT locations.
Sadly Garys private blend by Rocky Patel was not ready for this event, but keep looking out for it!! He has the blend all wrapped up in a lock tight secret which he won't even tell me!!
All in all it broke down like this, 17 premium smokes, an awsome BBQ style dinner, A whole new bunch of BOTL's, Great Island music, fantastic Micro Brews, (which will be at the September event!), $5000+ in raffle prizes, Hell, I won 4 boxes my self!! $2 donation for any stick that was represented, Cigar swag that you priced yourself and donated to the firehouse, one guy picked up the new Rocky Patel torch light that retails for $110 for 20 bucks!!! All offers were accepted!!.
Next year will be bigger and better, I don't know how we can top it but LOOK OUT!!!
I will have the picks up in a few days and will post the link then.
Happy Herfin!!
