pedromendes Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I dropped into North America's last handmade Cuban cigar factory outside of Cuba last week to set up a tour. We're tentatively scheduled for Saturday, April 16th at 4pm for a tour and to meet their head roller, Titi. We'll follow with dinner in the area, then a herf. For those not in the know, Correnti is at 606 King St W (up the alley along Portland). Due to the "private" nature of the event anyone interested in joining in, please PM me for more details!
CanuckSARTech Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Very cool, Don Pedro. Thanks for looking into that for us. I may be up for that on that date. A few things to maybe juggle around, but I think I can make myself free and clear for that day. Will update and let you know once things are sorted out down here. Again, very cool option for a herf / get-together. Thanks for following up on that lead for the group. Cheers.
tmac77 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 'For Your Eyes Only' is just down the street also TOm

Good food good prices and very close to F. Corentti's

thechenman Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Does For Your Eyes Only serve food? I mean the edible/ingestible kind.
Puros Y Vino Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Does For Your Eyes Only serve food? I mean the edible/ingestible kind. They serve..ahem....pie.
CanuckSARTech Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I'd only eat the red snapper if it was cooked - raw, it could be a killer.

ckearns Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I called Correnti's and placed an order for Saturday. I was looking at their selection http://www.correnticigars.com/cigars.php and figured they wouldn't have some of the less common sizes. I ordered the Fancy Tail and some Lonsdales. Thought I'd share in case others were thinking the same. See you all on Saturday!
a2vr6 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Going to try and make it out to this one Pedro. I'll confirm on the "other" thread. :>
CanuckSARTech Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Well, unfortunately fellas, I think I'll actually have to bow out for this one. Something has popped up in the recent days, and I'll be able to share it all with you tomorrow, but it will preclude me from being able to attend this weekend. Sorry, but thanks again to Don Pedro for putting this together for us - I really wish I was able to come out!

And we'll probably be doing this again anyway!
maverickdrinker Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 how many people will be attending??? See you at 4pm.
Holysmokes Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I really wish I could make it. Smoke a fatty for me fellows.
pedromendes Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 We're all set for tomorrow - looks like almost a dozen people attending! See you all there...
Puros Y Vino Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Have a great time guys. It looks like I will be down in Mexico doing the AI thing and smoking stogies too. My own, not the fakes that abound down there.
rckymtn22 Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Sounds like a great get together, looking forward to see the pics!
