I'm still planning on coming. I have to first get the infamous SR1911 off layaway which I hope to do this week.
Wow, Andy's Ruger reunited with Andy after he gave it up for adoption to a good home. This could be an emotional night for everyone

Man I"m bummed I'm going to miss this one! Unfortunantly I have to work in order to have the 19th off to enjoy the circus that will be the 1500. I hope everyone is as welcoming to the newbies as they were to me. It is a great place with a lot of great people!
General Cigar is proud to introduce FOUNDRY, a new boutique collection created to amplify the artistry and romanticism of premium cigars.
FOUNDRY is a stark juxtaposition between the old and the new. This visually-arresting collection was inspired by the art form of “steampunk,” which is both a retrospective and futuristic interpretation of innovation.
FOUNDRY is the brainchild of Michael Giannini who led the team that created the breakthrough brand. “Innovation comes from many sources,” he notes. “It is a pleasure and an honor to be able to call upon our greatest resources: the collective talent of cigar masters, our expertise in tobacco cultivation, processing and blending and the creativity of our artisan cigar rollers and box makers to bring FOUNDRY to fruition.”
Through a groundbreaking approach previously unseen in the premium cigar category, FOUNDRY entices the premium cigar connoisseur to take a bold step back in time and a quantum leap into the future to envision the artistry of handmade cigars through the lens of unbridled innovation.
Visual considerations aside, FOUNDRY’s avant-garde approach extends to its masterfully balanced synthesis of flavors. Featuring an indulgent collection of five proprietary tobaccos from four different countries, each aged between three and six years, Foundry’s foundation is amplified through an eight year old wrapper developed by General Cigar. Called H-47 Pleno Sol, the lustrous wrapper imparts a deeply complex, layered smoking experience like no other.
And I approve of the new sign and Ditka cigars... Can't wait for the event.
Just a REMINDER BUMP for this event.
As always, this is a free event to attend. Complimentary pepsi/diet pepsi/water & coffee. Typically some complimentary snacks.
Buying a cigar is strictly OPTIONAL. There is NO PRESSURE to smoke at these events, we have members who are non-smokers who attend for the fun of talking guns, seeing the dent in the ceiling from STUMPYPETE's infamous Ruger, and listening to the guitar player. And I believe we will have both a guitar player and a bass player in for the event . . . possibly also a bongo player
You will smell like smoke even if you don't smoke. I can't help that, get 20 people in a room, have 2/3rds of them light up a cigar, its just going to get smoky.
The cigar featured will be the FOUNDRY, a mild easy to smoke cigar for those who are interested. They have been selling very well and getting great reviews.
For those who want to get the "tour" that includes seeing the Ruger ceiling dent, GhostofWinter usually forms the line to the right of the fireplace and conducts the tours. He appreciates tips, ammo is always a good tip.
