I spent this morning cleaning up a malware/phishing situation on my site for which my host suspended my account. If you happened to visit and got a screen saying the account was suspended, that’s why. I only have opt-in email alerts, so don’t say yes to any other prompts for notifications if you get any! I’m working on getting it figured out. I don’t know if I picked up more than a head cold in Vegas or what. Anyway, I wanted to share with you the video walk through of the Vape/ alternative portion of the Tobacco Plus Expo. I’ll be honest, the first few times I ventured onto the blue carpet, I freaked out a little and made a hasty retreat to the safe
ty of the red area. I supposed it validated my old-fuddyduddyness a little. I noticed a great many disposable vape products, which was a surprise to me. The first reason it was a surprise was that I thought the target market for this sort of product was supposed to be more socially conscious and recycling minded. In a world where we have people carrying stainless steel drinking straws, using a disposable vape with a battery seems counterintuitive. That being said, I was approached by a young man who offered me samples, and as I explained my cigar passion and how it doesn’t involve getting a quick fix, I did accept one for my cousin who is a cigarette smoker, and I had observed smoking about half a cigar
ette at a time. The product was from a company called Hitt, and I mention it here as a courtesy to them as they were kind enough to provide me with samples when I tried to talk them out of it. My cousin, a long time Marlboro Red, and formerly Winston smoker, found that he liked the flavor, and liked that he could just take a few hits and put it down. He was going to experiment with it and see if it could wean if off cigarettes. I hope it works for him as he’s recently lost weight through diet and exercise and quitting cigarettes would be one more thing to help him lead a healthier life (he’s ten years my senior). Anyway, not cigar related, but I wanted to mention that since they were nice enough to force samples on me 🙂 . Enjoy the walk through. If there’s an interest, I’ll put the 20 minute real-time version up on YouTube.
Contest!
I’ve been threatening this for a while. As you well know, I’ve become a huge fan of Danli Honduras Tobacco’s cigars. It’s come to my attention that one of my local shops, Cigar Mojo in King of Prussia, PA, has started carrying the line. I have a feeling that Trae might have gotten the idea to bring them in from me, but I haven’t confirmed that. I need 
e
veryone to call or e-mail Trae (610-564-2471 or@CIGAR-MOJO TRAE.COM) and order some Don Juan Calavera or Flor Maya cigars from him! You don’t even have to tell him I sent ya. Anyway, to celebrate another place to buy these great cigars in the US, I’m going to give some of mine away. I’ve assembled a sampler. I have everything in the line except the Flor Maya Maduro and the Clown, the latter of which I haven’t even smoked yet. There’s Don Juan Calavera Connecticut, Maduro and Sumarta, Flor Maya Habano and Connecticut, and Marchitti. If I can get my hands on the other ones they will be included. The prize with include two of each cigar pictured, and there will be other swag included at my whim! That’s a minimum of a dozen cigars, and some other goodies. U
sual rules apply. one entry per person, must be over twenty one to win, and I’ll pick a winner next Wednesday, February 12, 2020. Only comments on this site will count as entries. Good luck! The winner will enjoy these cigars!
It’s already been a long day, I hope nonsense is behind me! Anyway, until the next time,
CigarCraig
