I am new to this board and look forward to learning more about cigars and contributing some also. For about a year I have had the wonderful experience of working with my 24 year old son, Robbie, as he opened a new cigar experience in Pensacola. I say "experience" instead of "store" because there is not much finer in life than sharing a great cigar in a unique and comfortable environment like he has created at Cordova Cigars. You can see it at http://www.cordovacigars.com
What great fun the cigar business is. As soon as the store opened we got an email from a Pensacola fireman serving in Bagdad. He found the store on the internet from Iraq and wanted us to ship him some cigars (we did) and at the same time delivered some cigars to his dad in Pensacola as a birthday present from his son serving our Country overseas. Turns out his dad is also a fireman.
This week we smoked cigars with Christian Eiroa, the President of Camacho Cigars, as he hosted an event at Cordova; and tomorrow we have a Pepin Garcia event complete with a roller from his Miami factory. Just back from the trade show I have had the chance to smoke the Triple Maduro from Camacho, the San Christobal from Ashton; and the El Centurion from Pepin. I hope you are all enjoying these great new smokes.
