Went over to check out the new lounge at Smokin' Bear today and wound up having a cigar with one of the owners of Jeneff cigars. I guess it's an older brand that's been sold a few times and this guy is one of the new owners. Made in a factory run by a former Fuente factory employee and fairly regional - he said NY and Pa was his basic sales region.

Anyways - he was one of the manufacturers at Buffalo Cigarfest last year and said it was a great time and we need to go. Music and food were both awesome and patrons could talk with manufacturers and reps. You get your cigars with your ticket but there are also cigars available if you want to buy.
Just thought I'd pass it along - sounds like a good time and I've got it on my calendar.

And FWIW - he went on to tell me he's friends with Jose Blanco and that he is coming for a blending session at Buffalo Cigars in the next few months. He highly recommended it as he said the knowledge you get out of it is fantastic. He claims he's going to try and set up a private one down at Smokin' Bear but that could be more b/s and bragging than reality. Doubt you guys would want to make the drive for something like that - just passing along the info as it was interesting.

That's pretty cool, hopefully I get up that way to check it out! And keep us updated on the details.

Still hit or miss right now with the snow, a few inches supposed to drop this week but then 40's this weekend so I hope that the last of it. Bitch about NY is we use salt so even if the snow is gone I don't take my classic out until the spring rains have really washed the roads down. That sh*t eats up metal faster than anything and especially loves to munch on chrome.
