Just a quick drive from Fort Myers, we attended a corporate event in Bonita Springs, Florida on April 18th, 2010. We got to break out the hookahs for this event, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was also very tropical, as you can see from the beautiful leis we were presented with!

Spring brings weddings, one of my favorite events to provide cigars for. Katie and JD hosted the reception at the fabulous Inn on 5th in the heart of Naples.
Karl and Nanette, the talented couple from Luminaire Foto, were kind enough to share their photos with me, so instead of my usual quick pics, I was able to get some fabulous shots from this event.
Congratulations and the best of luck to Katie and JD!
Ah, my favorite event of the year: the Music to Your Mouth Festival at Palmetto Bluff resort in South Carolina! Every November, the resort invites its vendors to attend the festival, which includes an array of food, wine and other delights. (My favorite being the Savannah Bee Company.)
Our Arizona counterparts are really supporting the troops, but in a way you might not expect; David Haddad is seeing that troops in Baghdad are able to continue honing their golf skills, and even visited, throwing a cigar social.

On Wednesday, June 10th, we were asked to bring our setup to a “Smoke on the Water” event. The client requested that we bring a cigar celebrity, so we asked Rocky Patel if he would join us. He agreed, and we featured the prestigious Rocky Patel cigar line at the event. A winery and whiskey-maker were also present for the event, which was described as a tasting.
Donald, local cigar aficionado, assisted me with cutting and lighting for the guests.
Saturday, May 30th, we were happy to provide our services for another fairy-tale wedding. This one was in Bluffton, South Carolina. It was a very hot and humid evening, but everything went as planned. The bride and groom were very welcoming, and we wish them the best of luck.

The St. Thomas event was a success. The family was extremely welcoming to us, and we really enjoyed working with them. They went out of their way to include us in the festivities (other than the reception, where we had our setup), and we had a great few days in the Caribbean. The wedding itself was just beautiful; the wedding party and guests enjoyed fireworks, delectable desserts, a wonderful atmosphere and, of course, cigars!
The highlight of the evening for us was getting a few of the guests involved in the cigar rolling process; they were great students and learned quite a bit about the construction of cigars in a short period of time. We were well-received by all the wedding guests, and we send congratulations to the bride and groom.
