Camacho Liberty 2009

CAO eLements Tasting with Tim Ozgener

On Friday night, after dinner was served and the drinks started to flow, the entertainment was scheduled to begin. After a down-pour soaked the boxing ring, which canceled the exhibition fights, everyone gathered under a large tent to check out the lingerie show put on my Bare Elegance. I didn’t have the best seat in […]

Before leaving for the Famous Smoke Shop Cigar Expo, I decided to sit down and have my morning coffee with something on the milder side, as not to overload my plate before a long day of smoking. I wound up coming across a sample that was left over from my blind tasting of the La […]
