Ric and I went to LaLuna to have a smoke with Gael today but Marta (his wife) told me he is sick and won't be around for a few days.....get well soon Gael :thumbs:
I bought a few beaners at LaLuna and we decided to head over to the Padron headquarters to smoke. The new building is looking nicer every time I go there although they haven't been able to finish the retail section due to hurricane delays. Jose Padron was there but busy so we hung out with Rudy Padron for a while. He gave us a couple of free 1926 No. 2s from their "office stash". These are the cigars that have flaws and not up to standard for selling (mostly just little tears and no bands). We smoked our freebies right then and they were of course fantastic
. We've talked to Rudy a few times in the past and he's a pretty nice guy so we had a good time bull$hitting with him. We talked a lot about how their bussines is doing right now and we saw the humidor the 40th Anniversary sticks come in...beautiful.
I'll let Ric tell you guys about the 40th Anniversary info Rudy gave us...
