[JLB]

Never met anyone personally. But I have spoke to speedbump on the phone and he was genuinely awesome. Thanks Derek!

Dion for sure.

I've been lucky to meet a few, which is why it surprised me how easy this one is. No bullsh*ttin', Jonathan Drew. Such a welcoming, gregarious, generous and affable man. Lucky to of met you JD.

Wayne Suarez deserves a mention as well.

I've met a few, and I would say Dion. Not to say the rest weren't kick ass dudes, but Dion is just one cool mofo.

Oh, and thanks for the contest!!

 

[dubv23]

Pete Johnson for sure

 

[Tobacco Giant]

Wait, I've definitely met Carlito Fuente and he was a super nice guy. Salesman through and through, haha.

 

[skullnbones]

Matt Booth, very cool guy to talk to.

Jonathan Drew

I met Guillermo Leon last month and he was a very pleasant man. I'm changing my answer to him since he's the only one I've had a conversation with.

I've met quite a few over the years (Rocky, JD, Pete, Alan, Pepin, etc) but the one that really blew me away was Carlito. I'm not the most outgoing person when I first meet someone and he really made me feel comfortable. We spoke for a while and took a picture together, all in a crowded room at Casa Fuente a few years ago. The fact that he took the time to treat me like our conversation was the most important thing at the moment was very impressive.

Jose Oliva was a cool dude.

Honorable mention to Susan Padilla, Janny Garcia and Jessica Padron for adding a little class to our hobby!

This is exactly what I meant when I called him a salesman through and through, which now that I look back on it sounds like it could have a negative connotation. Super nice guy and you can tell he knows how to work a room.
