Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday. We had a good weekend overall, Beth and I are both getting over our colds (just in time as we fly to Nicaragua next weekend), stopped by the cigar shop on Saturday and we stayed in yesterday watching NFL playoff games all afternoon. I hope everyone has a great week and stays warm and enjoys....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 and it's another brisk morning here in the Hudson Valley. Currently, it's 10° outside with no wind which actually makes it bearable. Congrats to the Clemson Tigers for coming back in last night's National Championship game and beating the Alabama Crimson Tide 35 - 31. This year, the Tide got rolled! Anyway, enjoy everyone and be safe out there...... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's "Hump Day". Now that the holiday's are over and all, it's time to get everything back in order and start the new year. This weekend, Beth and I will be heading down to Nicaragua for a week of vacation where we'll be relaxing at the Camino Real Hotel http://caminoreal.com.ni/en/ for 3 days and then heading up to Esteli for 4 days touring the Perdomo Cigar factory with Nick and his team. The weather looks great on the long term forecast and we can hardly wait to be back in shorts and sitting by the poolside. Enjoy your day everyone and smoke a favorite if you get the chance....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 and it's Thursday which means we'll be at Hudson Valley Cigars / Schlesinger's Cigar Bar this evening. The weather was great yesterday and it looks like it'll be nicer today so Beth and I will get 2 days of barbecue in this week. Temps drop drastically starting tomorrow evening and remain that way for a while according to NOAA. Anyway, enjoy everyone and remember to stay safe out there...... :-)

Good morning all, the Killer Beans coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a fun time at Schlesinger's last night celebrating Ian's birthday and all. Top notch cigars and the cake was tasty as well.

Good morning all and yes, Beth and I had a great time in Nicaragua. The 3 days at the Camino Real hotel in Managua was very relaxing and the Perdomo cigar tour and Esteli was outstanding. Both locations we stayed at had great food, drinks and cigars and the weather was spot on. It's good to be home and now it's time to get back to work. Enjoy everyone and hope you have a great week........ :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". The bad weather pattern has moved out and the weather guessers are predicting a mostly sunny day with the temps in the mid 40s. The NY Rangers are taking on the Philadelphia Flyers tonight at home which should be a good one. Enjoy everyone and smoke a favorite if you get the chance....... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's looking like we have some rain coming our way today. I see that the NY Rangers lost to the Flyers last night 2 - 0, it's always a tough game taking on Philadelphia and all. Being that today is Thursday, we'll be at Hudson Valley Cigars / Schlesinger's Cigar Bar this evening enjoying primo stogies and seeing how all the locals are doing. I hope you all have a great day and get the chance to smoke a favorite or two as well....... :-)
