Greetings Friends,
now that Holiday Season 2008 has gone and past and we are probably getting back into the mix of things, we at Molina Cigar wanted to take the time to thank all of the Devil's Weed faithful (both smokers and tobacconists) for their support.
We anxiously await 2009 and its upcoming events. Devil's Weed cigars continue to gain support and acclaim and we await new blends, sizes, merchandise and accessories this year. Check back here all year for the latest company updates.
Before we part, we must inform you all of our obsession with time (as a new year is a fitting time to reflect on such a subject). I am sure all of you geometrically-inclined, substantive folk have meditated on this phenomenon. Time is a commodity we can never have back or hoard. We can lose it but never accumulate. Time is precious and everything is temporal.
We at Molina Cigar Company obsess over time and history, especially as it relates to the tabaco/cigar industry. Thus it is fitting that we announce that this year is 517 AT (anno tabacum; in the year of tabaco).
Why 517 AT? The year in which tabaco was discovered by Columbus (and effectively the Old World) marks the year 0. The years after that point puts us in the time/year of tabaco or anno tabacum. The years prior to the "discovery" of tabaco are labeled as BC (before Colón or before Columbus).
So in keeping with Devil's Weed's ultimate tribute (and obsession) to the cigar and tabaco, we herald this year as 517 AT! Have a happy one, fellow followers!
Saludos,
Luis
