Hey everyone. I'm back from my little leave of absence due to some large internet problems and a nasty flu. But now I'm back and ready to get posting again. Now, where I live the 4 closest tobacconists are all 45-60 minutes away, Respectively situated North, South, East, and West of my abode, 3 of them in towns off of the interstate. While in the area this past weekend I dropped by Tobacco Lane in Paducah KY and grabbed a few CAO Golds and have already enjoyed one of them, some Churchhill Davidoff Seconds, and a five for five deal on a brand called All-American that so far have proven to be decent as far as I am concerned, but maybe some rest in the humi will do them some good. I also picked up a couple of my all-time favorites, the CAO Brazilia (Thanks for introducing them to me, George), an Impanema and a Gol. When I was about ready to go the store owner (or maybe just a worker) came in to the walk-in to see how things were going, and after some discussion on what I had already picked out and our tastes, he brought out a stool and introduced me to his top-shelf. After I was finished drooling I picked up a Padron '64 Imperial for about 13-14 bucks. I however notice some other Padrons and he even opened up a new Opus X box just so I could lay eyes on them. So all-in-all it was a great success, I have a few new cigars to try and a few old favorites to go back to.

It's good to be back!
