Avalon Cigar Herf November 2007When Tom Ramsey of Avalon Cigars came to town, he issued me a challenge. Set up a herf on short notice, and he'd bring the smokes. I love a challenge. Especially when free cigars are involved!
Wow, I've just noticed how grainy these pictures are. I think I need a new monitor! But then again, I guess a little grainy-ness is to be expected in a smoke-filled room. If I have some time a bit later, I will see if I can enhance the quality a bit.http://brianhewitt.smugmug.com/Events/Cigars/Avalon-Cigar-Herf-November/PB010248enhanced/218305733_UxQTb-Ti.jpghttp://brianhewitt.smugmug.com/gallery/3786169_wRNNb/2007-11-06T04:30:13ZCopyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
