Okay, second order of business is the December 18th meeting.

When: December 18, 2009
Where: Growlers off Lindbergh
Time: When ever you can get there. I will try to get there early but I can’t promise anything. If anyone else can get there early to reserve our tables, please do so. As of right now they do not have any private partys so it is still first come first serve on the tables.
What we are smoking: The Brazila Gol 5x56 The Brazilia is the fuller-bodied side of CAO. Its dark and spicy wrapper make it very flavorful with a long earthy finish.
For years CAO dreamt of a cigar that uses premium Brazilian tobacco, but finding good Brazilian leaf at the end of the cigar boom was not an easy task. At the time Brazilian tobacco was not at the top of its game. However, CAO stumbled on a beautiful dark wrapper leaf from the coveted Bahia region and the rest is history. After its launch this cigar brought attention back to Brazilian tobacco and essentially was the rebirth of Brazilian cigars in the US cigar market, as other cigar makers flocked to South America in attempt to recreate CAO’s success. The rich Brazilian wrapper gives the CAO Brazilia a full-bodied and full-flavored aroma that carries a long and spicy finish. It is a truly unforgettable cigar, and a powerhouse addition to the humidor.

As always it was great to see everybody and Rich, thanks very much for the great smoke, for introducing everyone to your guest Steve and for the great company.
