The Summer has arrived!

If you’ve been following my submissions over these last 18 months, I guess you know by now a few things about me.
-I’m an old guy
-I love cigars and whiskey
-I like cars and motorcycles

Last month I was sitting in my backyard looking out over the prairie marveling at its primal purity as I often do.

I then realized that right outside the entrance to our small community was a huge area of this terrain that spans for miles and miles. Soon I was thinking how great it would be to be able to spend some time personally investigating this great landscape. I’ve never been a hiker and the older I get I’ve gotten to fully understand and accept my limitations.

After a bit of research and visiting a local dealer, I couldn’t resist adding a new vehicle to my fleet. Soon I was up at sunrise getting myself out in the desert surrounding my neighborhood. To our pleasant surprise, my wife Jennifer could be a copilot on my adventures as well! After packing up a thermos of coffee, some breakfast pastries and a good cigar (OF COURSE!) we ventured off.

Seeing the giant Cacti up close and all the the other things that live in the desert was fascinating.

So that’s the update from the Arizona desert. I can’t even begin to share all the cigar enjoying activities all of you have shared with me since summertime has arrived all over the country. Fishing, boating, hiking, road trips, cigar tastings and BBQ’s to name a few.

In fact, this past May I was able to attend the first convention held since the pandemic. It was a huge tobacco show in Las Vegas. It was great to see all the cigar companies we all know and love along with many new boutique and small batch producers with amazing offerings. I’m sure you see a lot of new names on our website’s list of brands to choose from. And I can promise you that as the weeks and months move along you’ll see even more choices to investigate and try as you enjoy the summer months. Check out names like Angelenos, Chubby’s, Daniel Marshall (my favorite),Fratello, Indian Head, La Galera, National Brand, San Pedro De Macoris, Veritas, and Wise Man. That should keep you busy! And don’t forget, we’re all looking forward to the relaunch of Nat Sherman’s Metropolis and Timeless brands by the newly formed Ferio Tego company headed up by Michael Herklots who ran Nat Sherman’s premium cigar division before cigarette giant Altria closed it down.

All in all, it’s going to be a great Cigar Summer. Thanks again for your patronage on our small family owned website marketplace. And please keep those thoughts and questions coming.
