Just stopped in what is required destination for all things Fuente. Met David who is the host and Mr. Arturo Fuente Jr. who is actually the third Arturo because the founder Arturo Fuente didn’t have a middle name. These men are some own the most personable people I’ve ever met.

Picked up some 858 Rosados as well as some other vitolas and some Fuente swag.

FYI.......they never seem to run out of 858 sungrown. Also they dont carry ordinary opus but have a locked case of rare opus releases. Anejo 5 packs available twice a year.

What a fun time, thanks fellas.

Thank you for the cigars but more importantly the conversations and camaraderie!

Tampatom...I don't know who you pissed off there but they've always had everything to include Anjeo Sharks year round...limit 2 per day. I dunno, maybe they like me...or my wallet!

Thanks to you and Robert for giving me a reason to trade the Hampton Inn in Tarpon Springs for the Doubletree in Orlando.

Now that I think about it, they say they get shipments and make packets twice a year......but like all their stuff, they always seem to have some hanging around.

The old man was still around when I went, and Cynthia was there as well and David. Such a nice group of people, including the BOTL you got to see, I missed them! The bundles there are good too!

You chase any chickens?

Honey Pot?

Art Jr. is a super nice guy.
