Today is my 42nd birthday, and when I got home from my tennis tournament match (won 7-5, 6-1) my wife and kids made me a nice meal, and presented me with a gift basket. In it were plans for a weekend in Tampa the weekend before Thanksgiving to attend the Ybor City Cigar Festival, a bottle of Taylor Fladgate 20 yr old Tawny Port, and a box of Oliva V Torpedos (all those sharpie-circled catalogs in the bathroom have paid off !) :-)

I'm enjoying the port & cigars in my man room watching the Yankees game(To heck with it ! It's my b-day and I'm smoking inside, dammit). Hopefully I'll get another gift later tonight ! :-)

Has anyone been to the Ybor City cigar fest ?

I went to the Cigar Fest last year. The actual cigar festival was lame. But the herfing with the folks from here was awesome.
