Our friends at The Pipe and Pint, Larry and Pete, produced another "Cigar Night with the Hoppers"; this time directed by David Ludwig of J.C. Newman/Arturo Fuente Cigars, and I must say that it was quite a spectacle.
My wife surprised me with tickets to this Pipe and Pint exclusive, and to say I was shocked is an understatement. Upon arriving, we were quickly thanked by Pete for being part of the event and David handed us a J.C. Newman/A. Fuente goody bag of exquisite cigars. This -- coupled with excellent catered barbeque, hot dogs, and desserts -- ushered in a great time.

| BINGO cards in hand, I started out on fire! |
Although every one of The Pipe and Pint's "Cigar Night with the Hoppers" is a sure win, David hits a grand slam with his. You see, he invented his own insanely unique brand of bingo: he gives you a series of scenarios for every inning, and each time yours occurs, "BINGO!" you win. David probably burned a thousand calories running prizes back and forth, end to end to The Pipe and Pint faithful.

| All night David treated the line of The Pipe and Pint patrons like a top draft choice treats the 40-yard dash at the combine -- and almost as fast! |
To make matters even more exciting, David and Pete had a side bet for this game. All of us were certain we'd witness Pete -- head shaved -- in a dress or David with a mohawk. But ...well, there's always next year!
I would like to thank Pete, Larry, and David for an extraordinarily fun night and for their amazing generosity.
The Pipe and Pint's next "Cigar Night with the Hoppers" will be Friday, July 27 with Ashton Cigars. I would
highly recommend it if you are looking for a great time with great people.Get your tickets quickly, however; it will sell out. Click
