Hi all,

It was great meeting you Wilkey, and everyone else I have had the pleasure of meeting last night.

From the photos it looks like fun was had after I left.

Keith, hope you had a good drive back.

...I must admit the photo of Frank blissed out pretty much covers my time at the get together. Great Photo!!!

Had such an amazing time last night and what a pleasure meeting you Wilkey... Jeez I take an awful photo. I am wearing a mask or wig or something next time

As always, the guys are wonderful company and the cigars are A+++. never been to the Mambo Lounge and it was A+ too.

Sounds like it was good times to be had by all! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

A great night as usual. Some wonderful cigars were gifted back and forth and it's always nice to see familiar faces and to meet new members. Wilkey, thanks for giving us an excuse to meet up. Our rubber arms are easily twistable when it comes to getting together for a few cigars, drinks and a good laugh.

I second all that's been said here - what a welcoming crew you all were to the new guy! My utmost gratitude.

Can't wait for the next one.

A great night. Wish I could've stayed longer, but work and life sometimes interferes....

Wilkey, a great pleasure. Your generosity in the gifted customs to all was gracious and courteous - very much appreciated. I wish I had granted more time to sit and have a conversation with you - unfortunately, my social-butterfly tendencies led me to get so engrossed in conversation with the usual (and unusual) culprits, that I left you to sadly be pestered by Frank. Condolences for that.

Enis, yes, an uneventful drive, but a beautiful night for a cruise.

Lisa, you look fine my dear. I, unfortunately, have a habit of either making faces that ruin the civility and classiness of some photos, or I go to the other end of the spectrum, and look like a stunned deer that's never seen a camera before.

Nevertheless, excellent photos by all.

And the Mambo Lounge again didn't let us leave for want, with excellent drinks (me with my San Pellegrino - no getting KEITHED^TM for me, sorry to let the crowd down), excellent service, top notch staff, and superb tapas. And then, to top it all off, I had a half a cow for a steak, and was heavily satisfied afterwards. Kudos to the Mambo, yet again.

Cheers all. 'Til the next time.

And after Keith was finished with his steak he was about to snooze off.I pointed out to him that there is a bench with a cushion right behind him on the other wall.

If you look at Wilkey's photos, in photo # 2 I am the one in the foreground (in the blueish leather jacket).

It was nice to meet you Wilkey. I'm glad you had a great time in Toronto and it wasn't all just about work. Thank you so much for the custom dalia. That would be my first custom. It was also cool to see some familiar faces... Frank, Keith, Ennis, and Joe that I met from the inaugural Toronto FOH gathering way back when. If it wasn't a weeknight I'd have liked to have stayed later so I could hang with the new (to me) people... Lisa, Hans, Mike, Tony, Connor, etc. I know I forgot a couple people in there, but I'm horrible with names.

Mambo Lounge was cool. The food was great. The high fences and the heaters kept it comfortable outside. I had three cigars in three hours! I definitely need to get out more with you guys.
