Just boarded my connecting flight in Miami. It is late as usual. I think in all the times I have taken this flight it has only left on time once or twice. Perhaps I should not have been so quick to praise American airlines in my first post lol. When I got to Miami, I bumped into some industry friends. Gustavo who works for Oliva Tampa (tobacco Oliva not cigar Oliva). Great guy, they grow the majority of non connecticut seed tobacco in Ecuador such as habano Ecuador and sumTra Ecuador. Those wrappers are hot right now. They are harvesting in Ecuador right now and he was bragging about how great this year harvest turned out. Can't wait to smoke it. Also in Miami is Eric newsman and his son. They own JC Newman cigar company, one of the oldest family businesses in the cigar industry dating back many generations. They make diamond crown, brick house, Cuesta rey among other brands, they are also the distributors for Fuentes here in the US. Eric is always a pleasure to talk to. He has been around this industry and cigars in general a long time. Every time we speak I learn something new. His dad Stanford was a true legend in the cigar biz. Sadly he passed away in 2006.

No kidding bro! I was just thinking the same thing. I can see a trip to that part of the world coming up in my near future. As long as I can find some free time after I get out of the Army between girls and school and working at a B&M... I better start saving now!

Is it weird that I want to work in the cigar industry even more after seeing those pictures?
