Thank you for helping on our 4th Anniversary

[drac-cl]

I want to show my appreciation to Pete Johnson (Tatuaje), Dion Giolito (Vudu9) and Steve Faccenda (TOJE) for helping to make my shops 4th Anniversary very special. I am grateful to call these three guys friends and I remain humbled by their turning out and supporting me and my partner. Before we started SmokeSignals, Ray and I were cigar forum guys that like most of us, struck up a very great friendship that led to us becoming business partners and living the dream we shared while enjoying cigars together at each others homes and at various Herfs. I never imagined it would be this good, I mean what other industry do you get the Heavyweights to turn out and come hang with you. Over the four years we have been in business we have had Litto Gomez, Kaiser Hansotia, Jose Oliva, Nestor Miranda (2 times), Pete Johnson, Dion Giolito, Rocky patel (3 times) hang out at our shop. On top of that some of our reps have become dear friends, Steve, I am especially talking about you bro. Greg Mottola from Cigar Aficionado has become a close friend and one of our supporters as well.
I also want to thank some of the CigarLive guys that came out yesterday to support us; Harvey, Pete, Harry to name a few. Thank all you guys for your friendship and support, it means alot.

Anyhow, we took some great pictures and had a blast yesterday, needless to say the biggest retail day we ever had! Many people turned out to meet Dion, Pete and Steve and I cannot say I blame them, these guys rock!!

Hopefully by mid week I will have the pictures up on our website.

ps you forgot to mention you met Dirk Bennedict too

That is right Jitzy. My friend Pat is a friend and business associate of both Dirk benedict and Clive owen. Dirk was such a nice guy, he spent two days in my shop hanging, smoking a talking. Being in Port Jefferson with the store i also see Dee Snider on almost a daily basis. he is soooo cool, he does not smoke cigars but a great guy none the less. My friend gives his Daughter voice and guitar lessons. This list will grow, next year sometime, the Long island Rock and Roll hall Of fame is opening across the street from my shop.

I had ball Scott.....you guys run a class act. Can't wait to see the pix....especially the one with the 3 of us with the Tats! lol

All of your regulars are just that....a bunch of 'regular' guys from all walks of life sharing in one common love of cigars and friendship.

Can't wait until the 5th anniversary.

We had a blast--Spoke with both Pete and Dion for a while--They both had interesting stories to tell as to how they came into the business and the road leading to their success--No Matter what you heard in the past as to Dions ideas -its all BS--Dion is a genuine standup guy as is Pete

Steve Toje was on hand--true BOTL--He had a couple LX2's up his sleeve--What a smoke !!!!!!!!--CAO has a hit on their hands for sure

It was just a great time--Thanks to Scott and Ray for bringing it all together

Unfortunately I forgot my camera but took a pic with Pete and Dion which I should be able to access soon
