I got up at 6:20am Wednesday morning for work. Spent the entire day at work and trying to get on the road to Minneapolis. I finally got on the road at 6pm Wednesday evening.

Long story short I pulled an all nighter. I made a special stop at 4am at White Castle in Minneapolis. This is for you David...............

I got to the airport soon after and boarded my connetion flight to Memphis. I tried to call Tafdom but no answer. But I got some pics of Terry's swimming pool. Also pictured is Madurodave and Smokie's houses...................

I got some shut-eye on the flight but one does not really sleep all that well. I made the connection to Pensacola and arrived at 10:30am on Thursday. Robbie picked me up and we headed to his shop for a cigar.

Robbie and his Dad Tom gave me a Padron 80th Natural. Excellent stick. Then I had to load my new 8gig memory card into my camera. We even got a picture of it.......................

Then it was time for lunch. We ordered some excellent chow from Jerry's Cajun Cuisine. I met Jerry with Robbie when we were in Vegas for the Vegas Herf in July of '08. This guy can cook. WOW!

Pictured is a wonderful lunch, my first food since White Castle at 4am that morning........................

John from General Cigar came into the shop. He bombed me with a new Dominican puro Cohiba, HDM Excaliber Legend, and a Mac 1968. Then Robbie signed his contract to bring in the La Gloria Cubana Artesano's...................

There is a story behind this. I will let Jimmie, Robbie, or Gunnar tell this one. But these losers tried to pull one over on me. Chris1980 was in on it...............

I was smoking my first Camacho Scorpion. Wild story behind this cigar. T-shirts were made to commemorate the event. Robbie made sure I had this treasure............
