we've been working on the revolution launch party for the past two weeks. all i can tell you is that we're so excited that we can't even see straight! we're getting everything lined up, and it looks like the big day will be october 24th.

i would love to tell what all is going to take place, but that would ruin the surprise. you'll just have to come and see for yourself.

Unconventional Form of Art

When people ask me what I do for a living, I always pause and crack a small smile.

-I'm a tobacconist.
-A what?
-A tobacconist.
-What do you mean by that? Are you a farmer?
-No, I'm not a farmer. We manufacture and sell cigars.
-Are they Cuban? My uncle brought back some Cuban cigars from Mexico last month.

We continue to chat about cigars and the process they go through from start to finish. The different leaves. The aging process. The rolling process.

Like most of you reading this, I remember my first cigar. Ashton. It was the summer after my freshman year at college. I was on a landscaping crew, and one of my co-workers was working on his Master's Degree. He's the one that turned me onto cigars. I've been hooked ever since. My love and appreciation for cigars has evolved since that day. I now understand that cigars are a form of art. This fall as we launch 3 new lines of cigars, we want you to join us in celebrating this form of art...
