Fridays Pre-Cigarfest 2009 Rambling
After Cigarfest 2009 was finished and I got a good nights sleep in my own bed, I thought I would recap the event by putting together a video of me rambling about a little behind the scenes stuff.

Gurkha Warlord (Special Edition)
I guess “Special” isn’t always used in a positive light. I’m no expert on Gurkha cigars. In fact, I’m really not sure if I’ve smoked anything, ever, from Gurkha before this Warlord.
