Event Officially Added!

Yay! Mark added Smokin the Dragon, A Cigar Sampling Salon, to the official calendar of events for the Dragon!

Be sure to register, so we can provide ample seating and cigar-trays!

And check out the AWESOME tee-shirt, which will be the official "smoking jacket" at the Dragon!

Sooooo....what sorts of beverages would all y'all like to sip as we enjoy our yummy cigars? Since this the Cigar Sampling Salon falls on Cinco de Mayo, there's talk of whipping up some Mountain Margaritas! I'm thinking I'll bring some Patron or other premium sipping tequila, along with some port. Should be very nice with the cubanos! Oh...and some coconut rum would be nice, too!

Name your favorite potion!

In the spirit of cigar smoking, I think I will have a 'Cuba Libre'

Rum (Mount Gay Extra Old, but Mount Gay Eclipse will suffice)
Coke
Juice of 1 fresh lime

Cuba libre sounds refreshing! I like to take coconut rum and mix it with tequila and fresh lime, shake it in the martini shaker with plenty of ice! That is killer and so tasty!

I signed up for this 'cause it does sound like fun but the truth is I'm not sure I really know how to smoke a cigar... so you guys will probably be laughing at me -!

:smile: Heck, no! We'll be happy to share our cigars and show you "proper cigar etiquette!" LOL! Meaning, how to cut it, etc., and prepare it for smoking.

This is just a casual get-together to mellow out after the long day on the road, after enjoying the delicious Welcome meal, and have a chance to hang out with old friends and new!

It'll be fun!

You aren't the only one that isn't sure about it! I will be there mostly for the beverages.

We have signed up and will be bringing um......oh yeah, cigars and beverages!

I think I am gonna go through the bartenders handbook and come up with something really special!! I am sure it will have tequila in it! Maybe all I need is a shot glass, salt and lemons.

ok, cool! Question: if I try a couple between now and then, what should I get and where should I look for them? Do I need to locate a cigar shop or are there some good ones generally available like at convenience stores?

:smile: Definitely go to a cigar shop. Sometimes they let you sample and they can make recommendations. I'd suggest starting with something very mild, and that is what you should request. If they have the Acid Blondies, try one of those...DELICIOUS! I also like the thin ones that have been dipped in Kahlua....very tasty!

And remember...don't inhale!!! Let me know how it goes!

just registered.... I'll have to bring a few of the cubans from the humidor. If I can get enough to share I will but the travels overseas have been limited lately and they were expensive in Scotland last week... Don't ever try and buy cigars in the UK, the taxes and exchange rate are murder!

See you on the porch.

thanks guys! been gone for a while and with lots going on at work no time to learn more about making a site...

oh and I saw lots of MINI's in Scotland. I think I anoyed the crap out of my friend who I took with me. Every time I saw one.."oooh look a MINI'....

I am surprised to say I saw a lot of MC's a few MC1's but a small handfull of MCS. With all the rage in Europe being fast little cars I do not understand why the MCS would not be a logical choice for so many.

Anyway.

See you on the porch!
