Paradise Cigars get-together; 8/27/05

These guys have something going on all the time. The RNB board has herfs, AKA Sit Downs, almost every week!!! Since I've been to Paradise Cigars once before I decided to drive up for this past weekend's get together!

I really enjoy the company of these guys and gals. They're very friendly and laid back, but every cigar smoker I've ever met was the same way! That's what's so appealing about cigar smoking!

I even managed to drag the "ol' ball and chain" up there with me! Yes, the wife-ee-poo, Connie, made the drive up with me, as well as a long time buddy Jim Massengale. We arrived around 2 pm or so and stayed until a little after 8 pm. Since we had that 1 1/2 hour drive looking at us, we decided to head home before it got too late.

Here's a few pics from the days activities!

Gathered around the boob tube...eating and smoking!

Thanks to all the Paradise Cigars gang for a wonderful day!

Mini-Sit Down at the Wild Hare...or...North Carolina invades South Carolina?

Well, I get a message from Jim (Alchemist) of the RNB Board saying he'll be in town on August 13th for a car show. He's a Corvette man, and he and his wife both have "show" Corvettes! Well, this sounds like a great excuse to get together at the Wild Hare for cigars after the show!!!

We put out the word to the other RNB's (Red Neck Bastids) and low and behold, we have a nice crowd to drive down from the Charlotte area to be with us! We even had Terry (Tel) drive up from Charleston! Mark (Cheeze) and Mrs. Cheeze made the drive over from Greenwood!

Thanks to everyone who came over!!!!

I'll expect everyone who was at this "Mini-Sit Down" to be at the "Full blown" Sit Down on October 15th!!!

Here's some pics from the Sit Down on August 13th...

Bunch of nuts (no pun intended) at the car show!
