Mowee's latest work. Good stuff. You want to herf with this guy.

It's been too long since I updated this thread. Kind of reluctant since this is me:
but I have to do my job, anyway.

Our newest feature article is Frank Seltzer (Mowee's) retrospective on the 2010 ProCigar Festival in the Dominican Republic.

Quote:
The Smokers Strike Back

February 14-19 marked the third annual Pro Cigar Festival in the Dominican Republic. The first two days were spent in La Romana –home of the world’s largest cigar factory, Casa de Garcia, home of Altadis USA’s brands. Alas this year I did not make the trip over to see the factory and play the Teeth of the Hound golf course because it would have meant leaving on Valentine’s Day which is not a good thing for relationships (no matter how much the wife says it doesn’t matter…it does).



So instead this year I went directly to Santiago, DR for the festival. When a group of us arrived on Monday night, we checked into our hotel, the Gran Almirante that also serves as headquarters for the festival. I had just been at the Almirante in September and was not expecting any changes…But Litto Gomez, my seatmate on the flight in from Miami, warned me the hotel had changed. It was now non-smoking! Horror upon horror, the bars, the lobby and even the casino were smoke free. We were told if we wanted to smoke, we could go outside or down to the parking garage. The pool also allows smoking, but at 10pm it was locked up tight. Some nice talk to the manager, did allow them to open the pool for a few of us so we could enjoy a nice smoke before bed.



Tuesday, I spent the day at MATASA trying to wheedle out information about the company’s new Quesada cigar. Manuel kept deferring to the young ones, as he calls them—the 5th generation of Quesadas in tobacco and cigars. Patricia, Raquel, Hostos, Blondie, Esther and TJ all stonewalled me saying I would have to wait until Friday to find out about the newest creation. At least at the factory, we were able to smoke as much as we wished just not the new stuff.
