Back from IPCPR/mini vacation.

It was a vacation until sunday when I booted the wife for the start of IPCPR also known as RTDA also known as drink and smoke till you can only crawl back to your room week....

Lots of brands out there, lots of cool people to talk to.

CAO LX2 is out and pretty good! Acid 5 by drew estate, did not try it yet but should be nice(not so much of a sweet tip and mellow on the infusions), Liga Privada has 3 new sizes if I remember correctly.

I got to meet a ton of people, alot of new manufacturers(including a ton of BS companies trying to make a quick buck).

There is a new fuller bodies Macanudo coming out...the 1968. I am NOT a mac fan but this one actually broke the mold.

Red Cot Cohiba has a white label out now-did not smoke it yet but seems to be liked.

HdM Excalibur has a red label full bodied smoke out. Need to smoke it again...they were a bit wet.

I also had the chance to speak with Sam Leccia from NUB a few times. He even rolled me a couple "doble capas" to enjoy. That guy is something else and loves what he does!

That is my super brief recap. My feet were killing me, I hardly slept and I feel beat up.

But I did come home with a nice goodie bag!

I'm Jealous. I couldn't make it to the event this year. Those trade shows are always a good time. I'm going to go ahead and schedule next years trip as soon as they announce the place/dates. I hope it's in Vegas again!

Did you find anything interesting in the new exhibitors section?

I didn't really see anything that was wow oh so amazing I have to tell everyone. New cigars etc.

Won't ever be in Vegas again was the buzz. Way to much drama just to be allowed to smoke inside the convention. You had to put out your cigar before you could step out into the hallways. It was rediculous.

I did come home with some goodies though!
