I have a pretty good size list of cigar lounges I've visited when traveling for work. Currently im in Sacramento CA, area. When I'm here I usually visit Hatuey Cigars. They have really good hand rolled cigars made by the owner who lives in Central America. Anyone know of any other good places in the area?

So on my other Skool site, a lovely lady named Lisa recommended,after she saw I enjoy the Deadwood Leather Rose, that I pair it with Widow Jane Decadence. She was spot on! The sweet tip and robust and leathery tobacco pairs up perfectly with the sweet Maple goodness of the Widow!

So I picked this beauty out today! I got it in a sampler! I grab several of these Samplers a month . It's a great way to try new stuff and the price is usually pretty friendly! So The Oscuro from La Palina. It's a Nicaraguan Puro I believe. Pretty tasty and since it's a full bodied smoke it is great to slow down with and start my weekend off a bit early!
