Day 7 : Drew Estate / BOTL 8 Day Holiday Extravaganza

[Angry Bill]

Both Pete Johnson and JD. They both would give you the shirt off Their back and love cigars just like I do. I can even remember JD loving my room 101 ring at the BOTL event at Montecristo cigars in Chitown.

Clint Aaron was one of the best guys that I have met

There's a few reasons a lot of people are going to say JD here - including me, despite this being a DE contest. I met JD a few months ago and he has a special kind of charisma that allows him to become an immediate best friend/old college buddy to everyone he meets. That talent is usually best exploited in the entertainment industry and in politics, but JD take it to the next level, making it actually genuine. That's exactly the kind of personality the cigar industry needs.

The second reason I vote JD is because I can listen to him geek out about the cigar industry all damn day! I hate it when most people talk shop but this guy is a rare exception.

Jose Blanco.

Being in Australia, I haven't had the pleasure if meeting any of the guys behind the brands I love. But I feel like from all the vids I've seen, I'd have to say Pete Johnson.

The late, great Rodlfo Taboada.

Not entering the contest. However, JD is the guy I truly want to meet. Not due to his cigar expertise, but because he has a passion for dog rescue. I'm an ASPCA volunteer assigned to the Pit Bull area. I love Hercules and I would love to hang with his dogs when I eventually make the trip to Nica. He has a huge heart. I know that without meeting him. Dog rescue is an honorable pursuit. I would love to meet JD and his wife.

J. Fuego- met & drank with him in Nicaragua on the rooftop of the hotel Las Arcos. Great shit! He was fun to talk to, listened to advice and constructive criticism, and drank with the "boys".

 

[Perplexy]

The only one I've had the pleasure of meeting in person has been Willy Herrera at an event a couple weeks ago so I am going with him for sure.

 

[calgon]

Gotta to be the dizzle.

 

[kbodick]

I've had the pleasure of meeting many great people in the industry and as some have said its hard to pick just one. That said JD is as charming engaging and passionate as anyone I've ever met!

 

[GingerNinja]

No school like old school. Jose Padron.

 

[MICSTOGIE]

Not a hard question at all....JD.... He is a great guy! Met him once and nothing but great things I can say abiut him.

 

[JHewey]

Unfortunately I haven't met anyone in the industry yet but I would like to meet JD or Pete Johnson.

JD and Pete Johnson. Sorry... I had to list them both.

 

[phi871]

Skip Martin of RoMa Craft Tobac. He's an awesome person, who really knows his stuff about cigars, his business, and customer service.

 

[jimmypa]

Lots of really awesome dudes in the industry but I'd have to go with JD also, all you guys are just a class act. Thanks!

Jd!

I've never met any figures from the industry. But last Feb, JD sent a box of JDN antanos to be shared at the Springfield herf. So based on that, I say him.
