I drove an hour down to "Zarka's" lounge in Temecula. I got into the lounge and walk up to Pepin, who was having an animated conversation with his translator in spanish. I wait for him to finish, get up, grasp his hand warmly and say something along the lines of "It is a real honor to meet you sir... I love your cigars more then almost anything else, and you are the true brother of my heart" At which time I give him a big hug.

It was at that point that my friend informs me that this event is a "cover charge" event... Friend told me that the guy demanded we pay fifteen a head to stay, and made no menton of a free beer or a free stick so, I bought a stick and left.

Oh well. Live and learn.

Photos forthcoming when my friend e mails me the photo.
