"Sushi, The Cigars and The Blues" party!

This was our first "After Hours" event at Bonita Smoke Shop and we had such a great time! I couldn't have done it alone and have a few to say a sincere "Thank You" to.

It was an evening featuring all General Cigar products. Grace Cabezas, who is one outstanding sales representative, helped us in putting together this event. Your ideas and advice were instrumental (no pun intended but it still sounds good) in putting this fun evening of food, music and cigars was much appreciated Grace!

The air was scented with the tantalizing aromas of cigars such as Punch, Hoyo de Monterrey, Macanudo, (including the Macanudo 1968 blend),Partagas and the new La Gloria Cubana Artesanos Tabaqueros Cigars

We had the honor of Poppa E and his Blues Band entertain us with a wide range of classic blues songs. The strain of his guitar and harmonica along with a bass player made a SW Florida sunset even more magical.To say his voice touched a part of us is putting it mildly. You could "feel" the emotion in the lyrics he sang. Thank you Poppa E. You helped make our evening extra special.

The sushi boats kept arriving and I had to laugh. It was as if the Seventh Fleet had docked. Everyone dug in! For some it was their first venture into the world of sushi and I applaud their courage. I remember the first time I tried it and could relate. 

Chopsticks flashed, music was sung, wine was sipped and cigar were smoked!

All in all a wonderful evening. Many thanks to all who attended. Let's do it again soon!

PS. Come to think of it. The "Punch Cigar Guy" is due for a birthday....very soon! It may be time to celebrate that!
