IPCPR Update

[uncelnino]

Just thought I would post a quick update on the happenings at the show. Spent last night with AJ (blooz4me), Matt (cyrann), Marvin, and others at a place called Voila, where we watched the UFC fight. Following the fight we went to another spot called Don Leoncio's where we ran into Pete Johnson, Dan Welsh, Thor Nielson, Abe Flores, Pepin Garcia and others. Got to bed at about 4 am to get up again at 7. Spent all day at the show and scored some samples of the Cain, the new Aroma de Cuba, new VSG Torpedo, L'espirit, Le Bijou, and the new San Cristobal Sun grown. Spent this evening at the Ashton dinner followed by hanging out with Dion and crew at another cigar bar called Dos Jefes. Great time so far, but still a ton of booths to visit. Will try to get some pics up soon.

Maybe you should try to get some more rest. Having that much fun with some of the cigar makers and great new smokes is going to wear on you.

Wishing I was there.

Just got back from the Cigar Press party at Don Leoncios. Dion, Pete, and Jonathan Drew each took a turn DJ'ing for the party. Attendees included Nestor Miranda, Carlito, Abe Flores, Matt Booth (co creator of new Camacho Room 101) Don Pepin, Joe Gannascoli (from the Sopranos and now Cugine cigars) and Cyrann and Marvin Chang from BOTL. Earlier in the evening I did dinner with CAO at the same restaurant as Jorge Padron and company. Awesome day and a great chance to meet some of the industry's best.
