I've been pretty much non-existent on the board lately and am glad to sneek a few minutes to post. As some of you know or may have guessed, I have become heavily envolved with the launching of the Avalon cigar brand. I will be functioning as their "cigar" guy. I'm putting my 20+ years of cigar experience in play in a dream that I thought would never happen. I've been working on some exciting new blends both in Miami and Nicaragua. The initial taste testing has been far better than I would have hoped and I can't wait for you guys to try these sticks. Our first real shipment of cigars is leaving our Miami warehouse as I type. I welcome all feedback, good and bad as these cigars make they're way into you're b&m's. I will be available to answer any questions you might have about our cigars, and customer service and satisfaction is going to be my benchmark. We got a lot of love and warm wishes from the cigar community at RTDA this year, now its time for the cigars to do the talking. I will be checking in often, so fire away.
