IPCPR Prep, a Day at the Movies & Chess

Greetings Friends,

As we prepare for the International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers (IPCPR) Trade Convention in Las Vegas on July 14, Molina Cigar and Devil's Weed are heavily promoting the cigars. We will keep you up-to-date throughout the show everyday from our booth, so be sure to keep an eye on this page during that week.

Devil's Weed and my friends at Don Leoncio in New Orleans were asked yesterday by a movie studio that's in town to do a rolling event and pass out cigars to their actors and crew members. They were excited to see us there! The movie industry and cigars have historically always been close partners and everyone stopped by our rolling table after they had their lunch break. It was a pleasant sight to see so many people enjoy their short break as they relaxed with Devil's Weed and Don Leoncio Gran Reserva. They were also entertained to see Luis roll some cigars for them. There was also a New Orleans brass band present and people enjoyed dancing to those local rhythms while at the same time smoking smooth cigars and drinking some fresh fruit frozen beverages (it was another hot and humid New Orleans day). Needless to say, the event went well and the studio graciously treated their staff with a great event. People enjoyed the cigars and offered positive feedback on the blends as well and many were interested in the history of Devil's Weed and its homage to the cigar industry!

Afterwards, Luis and I headed back to Don Leoncio's Cigar Bar on 430 Canal Street (just in time too because it began pouring rain and the event was outdoors). We relaxed with some of our smokes and Ysidoro challenged me to another game of chess. Every time I go see the brothers Rodriguez, there is always time made for our games of chess (or domino) and Ysi endured some beatings by my mental ability (4 games in a row). Ha ha! Maybe next time, Ysi. Regardless, our Devil's Weed smokes made the chess session more enjoyable. All in a day's work.

Saludos!
