Rocky Patel in Lakeland Florida
Met the man himself and had great conversation. He had a nice group with him and a nice group to greet him. Very nice and worked the entore night. With people there aswell on his Blackberry. Sending and receiving email speaking on the phone and talking up the efforts hes putting forth on the Cigar Tax. He has committed all his resources to fight this and is making progress. Hes a fighter and will not give up. Anyhow...more on that soon. Heres the pics from the event. I still need to take a pic of the score including a box of 1992's fiver of sungrown and a great sungrown ashtray the diameter of a beachball...this darn thing is huge. Excellent for poker night. there was great music, base and guitar. very good conversation and YES...the Rocky clan knows of Cigar Live. Sammy who is the marketing guy is our rep online. They are really focused on RTDA as well as this Cigar Tax. Very busy people.

The one pic that looks foggy was taken first and smoke wofted to the front of the camera..I thought it was a flipping great pic...then I took another and the guy caught me in mid speak...hence the dorkness on the face. Life goes on

And yes...I had my shirt

Met Rocky last year when he was in Charlotte for an event and dinner at my B&M. He is an awesome dude to visit with. He's one of those guys with a million stories and is very passionate about his products.

Looks like it was awesome. Bright side of the second pic is that you caught the guy in the mirror picking his nose...

Honestly...no. I love the Sungrowns, they really kicked my butt yesterday. I love the vintage series...I really cant afford the old world reserve...look ing forward to the new sticks to be released...

I dont like the fusion. so I eliminated one stick.
