If anyone has a chance to go to a "big Smoke" event, I would recommend it. I only attended the Big Smoke evening, but put aside ones feeling about CA, and they put on a great event. Besides getting about 35 cigars, there were plenty of good food, wine, and other spirits to sample. It was informative, and I was able to meet several leaders in the cigar industery.

Berry and I met there. Great meeting a fellow Cigarbid-aholic! See my post about the Big Smoke 2 subjects back.

I was a vendor ther in Vegas with the Estavan Cruz guys. Have to recommend you put down your Anejo's and get the "Short Cruz" or the Maduro Belicoso. These cigars are top shelf smokes with some power but smooth and not overwhelming. I am smokeing a number 48 Anejo right now, and I personally like the Estavan Cruz better. You be the judge. Retail is $6 for the Short Cruz and $7-$8 for the Beli Enjoy
