Welcome to Empire Cigars!

With a box purchase, you got a freshly hand-rolled cigar:

After picking up the newly-rolled cigar, I got to meet Don Pepin Garcia - and had him sign my box of "My Fathers"

Despite the heat, this was without a doubt the best retailer sponsored event I have ever attended.

Looks like fun. I really need to make my way out to Empire one of these days. Sounds like a great shop and would be a great excuse to meet up with some of the Raleigh brothers. Thanks for the pics Joe.

(Thanks to Dave also... Hal's right-hand man - right behind him.)
