Stopped at my local haunt, Joey D's cigar lounge, to unwind after a long day. Nobody is there except the proprietor and two guests, who turn out to be Justo Eiroa and Bernie Rodriguez of JRE Tobacco. Justo is the son of Julio Eiroa and brother of Christian Eiroa of the famed Honduran cigar family. They had just come from a visit with CCOM and are visiting some local shops before heading back to Honduras tomorrow. 

We sit and talk for a couple hours while enjoying smokes and libations. What an awesome and unexpected evening!

Of course, they also shared some of their newest offerings...

What a great night!

    Awesome Puffy.. Kinda fitting they bump into the Eiroa ho lol...I'm sure you informed them how you think their cigars suck... Glad to see you getting to be some the first peeps to try new offerings.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    Only cost is getting there? They're handling food and accommodations? I'm in!
