Tampa Sweethearts

[jhedrick83]

A few thoughts:

A. If you were alone, who took your picture? Chase?
B. Best cigar experience of your life? Have you forgotten the Orgy? (note: I see Tony has already rightfully called you out on this above)
C. Did you ask him if he was looking for a new tax accountant?
D. Allegiant flies to Fort Wayne. Why didn't you come here?

A. I was not alone, I had a lady accompanying me. Actual biological woman not hired by Mark.
B. The thing is you go into the Orgy knowing it will be a great time. I went to Tampa Sweethearts hoping to find rare Fuentes and not at all expecting to meet Arturo Jr much less spend time like that with him. Kind of like the surprise reveal with Chance.
C. I did mention to him that I knew of a top notch accountant if he needed one. He asked what this accountant of mine smokes and I told him Gurkhas and Bahias. He laughed and laughed. I don't think you'd get the gig.
D. I didn't know that. Unfortunately, not direct from Knoxville. I only had 4 days and didn't want to spend it all in an airport.
E. I'll have to tell Collin I got some special Opus for him next year at the Orgy. Assuming he's not off to Ibiza with his wife and rabbit or some crap like that.

Woa woa woa... you came to Tampa and didn't come see me?!

Having gone to college in Tampa in the early 70's going to Ybor City every weekend was a way of life. Cigars,,,, cigars,,,, cigars.... it was and still is Heaven. I'm a AF fan as it is but just to to bump into the family and talk shop is a treat. S. Florida and Miami is another great Cigar Adventure.... having lived in the area weekends were all about riding my cruiser and visiting Cigar shops... or taking the weekdays to get down to the Keys for a few days and visit all the BM's and rollers... pick up some freshly rolled cigars... miss those days.

Ohh, I should have... I'm sorry. Between a killer mieal at Columbia, meeting Arturo Jr, walking around Ybor city and time at Coppertail and Cigar City breweries, time in Tampa went fast. I was staying in Clearwater.

Jesse, from one Fuente fanboy to another, I am jealous. I can only imagine experiencing how it all played out. I was excited when I called TampaSweethearts once and Carlito answered the phone.

Did you kiss his ring?

I can't believe you were at Tampa Sweethearts and didn't bring me a box of Añejos. Whatsamatta for you?

I suppose you are forgiven I was just at Coppertail on Tuesday, the office staff had lunch over there.

I don't know if you have done the Cigar City tour but it was disappointing to me. Didn't really get to see much. At least the beer was good!
