Last night at Empire Cigar in Raleigh, "DaBear" hooked me up with the CA "Newsletter"... Thought it would actually be some print piece, but instead it was 5 awesome sticks.

It was definitely a great welcome to the community here at CA. Not sure if this is something that just Bear does, or if it is CA tradition. Either way- I like it! It is much appreciated and nice to be welcomed like that.

Empire Cigar is a great place to shop and just hang out, herf, and feel welcome. The added welcome from the local CA crew here is an even bigger bonus.

Thanks again!

I got through two of them this morning. Saving the #9 since I already have a couple. We will see how it does with some age since I am smoking the ones that I already have fresh.

@363- Definitely a great shop. If you are ever down you should check it out. Better than most of the places I've frequented between DC and Charleston. Really friendly group and a great retailer.

Well done Bear!!!

Justin,

You'll find that this is an awesome group on here. As you've already found out, most people find a sick and twisted pleasure by cigar bombing one another! Once you've been here a while, you'll get the bug and start sending out cigars, too!
