Hey boys,
Nothing too special is confirmed at this point but I am definitely bringing Colin Ganley from European Cigar Journal to the Leaf on December 3rd. If nothing else, its an excuse to chill with fellow passionadios. Bring a couple buddies, pick up a smoke (or 3) and lets have a good time.

We could show as early as 2 or 3 or perhaps later in the evening. Details will come after he's back in the country & able to confirm schedule. Look forward to see you all there!

Craig

Well It's a crying shame that I have a Kelly day on the 3rd. Looks like I'll just have to come on down to that thing they call the Burning Leaf and smoke a few good ones.:cjump:

Rumor has it we may be conducting a Prosecco tasting of 12 or 13 different bottles. Notes will have to be taken as it is for an upcoming publication. Tasters wanted!

Today's the big day. Prosecco tasting will be taking place, as will a bit of Island sharing. Our guest will just be returning from the Partagas Festival...

See you later in the afternoon. Perhaps 4 or 5

I had a really good time friday smoking and drinking with everyone. Colin had some great stories, brought along some really tasty cigars and Prosecco, proceeded to break a handful of glasses....he definitely fit in with the guys at the leaf. Craig also brought along a vintage box of Punch to share (im really looking foward to smoking that thing). A night at the leaf with everyone always makes for a memorable evening!

Definitely a great time. The prosecco was good, the beer better, but the company was best. Craig, thanks for putting this together and let's do this again soon. Be looking out for that CGR, Craig! Jussayin'!
