Yes, I met Diana Silvius' daughter in the summer of '02 I believe, during a tasting and rolling exhibition at De La Concha, my favorite cigar shop. It was a re-release of the cigar. I tried a Churchill, and without a touch of phoniness, I pronounced it my new favorite cigar by the time my conversation with her daughter was over. Her daughter Linda, a beautiful blonde woman and very personable, had a nice conversation with me about the cigar business in general. I learned a few things and walked out with a few fine cigars.
Haven't had any in a while, as they are pricey, and I haven't been able to purchase cigars for some time, but I hope to get my hands on some more in the future.
Speaking of purchasing cigars, I'm on phatash.com's weekly e-mail specials' list due to many prior purchases, although I by no means buy exclusively from them. They are having a great deal on another favorite of mine, The Hemingway Classic ten packs, which I just can't pass up. Also listed in their specials this week are a fantastic price on the Savinelli Nicaraguan Reserve, another deal I can't pass up.
Guess I'll be buying a few cigars within the next couple of days.
