Hello everyone,
It’s raining! I know so what else is new? Well it looks like we’ll have more of the same all week. But! We have a great event scheduled for tomorrow night, and a little rain is certainly not going to stop us from enjoying smokes on the water!
Tomorrow night we will be featuring Perdomo Cigars with a special bonus. Jeffrey Topping of Wild Scotsman will also be joining us tomorrow night to sample some of his amazing Scotch.
Perdomo Sales Rep Jeff Godfrey will be with us, and he is bringing along an awesome box promotion.

It is sleek enough to fit in your pocket to take with you without the “happy to see me” jokes. Okay you guys get the point it’s a cool lighter.
Boxes that will be available are Patriarch, Habano, Grand Cru, and Reserve 10th Anniversary.
