On Wednesday May 6th, we gathered at Joe's to unveil the "Larry Duesbury Memorial" Club Member of the Year.Candidates were nominated thru Email by fellow members. The list was extensive, but there were about 8 clear leaders.The one thing that was common with all the top nominees was that each brought more to the club than they took away.The final tally was a tie, between Jim and Ron.Each having

Last week of January and first week of February a bunch of us got together and headed to Central America for the trip of a lifetime.The Mission: visit a number of cigar factories, get some sunshine and a dose of historical learning.We had opted for an all inclusive at the Palma Real Resort just outside of La Ceiba, Honduras. A lush area on the Caribean coast, with the rain forests mountains of La

This is an email account of one of Mikes Panamanian adventures. I love getting his reports as he has his own unique slant on life and sarcastic charm. For those new members, Mike cashed out of the rat race a year befor I did, bought a VW camper and was going to slowly make his way dow to Tierra Del Fuego and maby even Antartica on a Argentinian warship. For some reason unknown even to him, he

What a great night, we held our 10th annual Christmas Gala at a secret location in Toronto. This was our 3rd sit down dinner event for Christmas. It was also one of our best attended evenings with a total of 38 members gathered.We threw in a few curves, mixed metephores and some fractured fairtales this year.Instead of the usual Chris Cringle, draw a name from a hat stuff, all members were given

(Blog is public so only email members get info on these underground locations).We are going to mix things up for the winter, run on Monday thru Thursday...a different night each week.Why? A; it gives more people a chance to attend, &B: I can track the long range

Smokescreen BustersJust a few thoughts from the guys atwww.cigarandpipe.caSmokers are being told only where they can not smoke. Every time they find safe haven, it is ripped away from them.
