May's Update

Greetings Friends,

First of all, I wish everyone a great Memorial Day. I also want to thank all those who serve and have served in the greatest country's military. I especially want to thank my brother who is proudly serving in the Navy. You are the guardians of freedom and protectors of the great virtues of America.

Now to bring you up-to-speed: there were a few reasons the blog hasn't been updated. Devil's Weed cigars made their American debut on April 28, 2008 and ever since then, demand has been hard to supply. But all is well. There are many fine shops that carry Devil's Weed and our website will soon be updated to let you know who near you carries the jewels of tabaco we proudly carry.

Speaking of our website, it has been updated for you to view in Flash (very cool, I might add). Let us know what you think and what we can do to improve your virtual smoking experience of Devil's Weed!

As I mentioned, it has been a blur (just last week, Devil's Weed hosted three events on my stomping grounds, a.k.a. Don Juan Cigar in Louisiana and the turnout was tremendous). People are speaking highly of the cigar and making great positive comments. The first week of June, I'll be hitting PA with my tigre, Abe, and hosting an event at BnB International Cigars.

We are gaining steam for our official launch at IPCPR's Trade Show in Vegas in July where Molina Cigar / Devil's Weed will have exhibitor space (along with our cigar-maker Tabacos Don Leoncio).

In addition, we have been featured in the great news/information source regarding the world of cigars: Cigarcyclopedia. Mr. Perelman was gracious enough to inform cigar-smoking enthusiasts of Devil's Weed.

At this time, I would like to personally thank everyone who has contributed to the immense interest thus far (in the spirit of a true boutique cigar company, this entire process has been a grass-roots effort) and we hope to make our mark in this industry I love so much.

Keep checking back on this blog to get the latest news; as long as men and women want to relax and enjoy life (which should be all the time), the world of Molina Cigar Co. will never rest.

-Luis
