Some sad news. Fellow Toronto BOTL, Matteo Speranza has passed away.

[Puros Y Vino]

Just found out this morning on Facebook.  Fellow BOTL and author Matteo Speranza has passed away.  Some of you here may know him. He's a frequent Cuba traveler.  I've smoked with him at a few events here and toured El Laguito with him back in 2012.

RIP Paesan. 

Added Pic from El Laguito Tour.  He's front row, second from left, in front of El Prez.

Very Sad to hear. He used to be a waiter at one of my favourite restaurants in Vaughan. We always shared cigar stories. He will be missed.

So sad! Like everything he posts on FB and IG and always say hi. We have mutual non-cigar friends somehow too.
