Merchants East and a little herf

[Jimmy2]

Well i went out with some friends and met some new one's nothing like i am used to as i have thrown some big parties for FoH but non the less a great time.And i must say i like this better as there is less running around when not being the host and i can sit down and really get to know the people i am hanging with.As some of you know i had a falling out with my local lounge were i was a staple were some of us had so many great times Rob and Lisa and FoH crew.

Merchant was the lounge this time around i went to and it was a great place. A real lounge from top to bottom from drinks /food the decor and the whole vibe as what a cigar lounge should be .Everyone was nice there top notch service a place you could not ask for anything more .A cigar lounge with the feel of the city life where all people from all over have one thing in common love of Cigars and good times.What the hell could you ask for anything more ? hell I think the next FoH herf get together should be held here soon hey Rob hint?

Hey Smithy !!!!

Merchants East is a very nice cigar lounge, I was there a few years ago at a sit down with about 40 others and the staff did a wonderful job. The waitresses were good looking too.

[Jimmy2]

Yes nice eye candy indeed Chuck also their were alot of girls and pretty one's sitting around and hangin.

I would love for some of the members here to meet at least once a month at Merchants so we can all hang out. LMK guys hell i think we have the most members here in the area so their should be no problem to getting this started.Its been to long some of us old friends and new ones should meet up...

Jimmy, I'd say to set a date, and contact those in the area that you know and make it happen, When I lived in Florida, Professor Twain and I started with a "Boys night out" and it developed to a weekly get together where others in the area met up with us and we always had a great evening, PT has continued the Thurdsay evening tradition Merchants is a great place to have it, weather it is just a couple of you or a group of 35.

[Jimmy2]

Have to set something up monthly here with some of them members as Merchants East would be perfect for it.

Looks like a great time and a great venue Jimmy!

With Lisa pregnant and away the second half of this year my travels will be curtailed until January 09. If Jose gets married November I will head to Havana for the wedding. I could do an overnight in NY and do NY /Toronto / Havana.

Looking forward to it !

Nice pics, Jimmy. Merchant's is one of my favorite places to meet up with friends when I'm in NYC. Let us know the next time you decide to go. I'll be in NJ/NY every other week until mid May and plan on meeting up with Elliot (Roy R. Frush), Rob (rob300c), and Anthony (tone_ny) a few of those times.

[Jimmy2]

Just let me know when your going to be there a couple of days before ....

I think the next FoH herf get together should be held here soon hey Rob hint? Hey Smithy !!!!

I agree with the last statement, I'm packing my bags, now where is Rob CC details to book the flights.

[Jimmy2]

LOL It would be a big turn out if you came you have sent many cigars with the love and care as a mother to her kids.

But how to get Rob to send you on your way this summer will have t be your plan.

I'm already working on that plan, I intend to loose a lot of weigth and try and squeeze into an SLRDC 50 Cab get Mini Smithy to bubble wrap me up and send my on my way. A bag of M&Ms should be enough food for the trip and we will be having Mojitos and Cigars this Summer Jimmy

[Jimmy2]

LOL....

Jimmy as Sam has noted we do get together on a regular basis. We do have a standard second Wednesday of the month get together and we do get together when Sam is in town.

Great pictures and it seems you guys had a great time. When Rob comes in we can also reserve Club Macanudo as an option as Elliot and I are members.

Jimmy, I would love to meet up once a month. I had a great time at the Havana dreams herf and met some good dudes. Earlier in the week tends to work better for me and if needed I would be happy to help plan it out. Send me a PM if you would like to work together on this.

[Loki]

Looks like a great FOH get together as would be expected from you. I wish that I could have made it into the city. There's always next time.

I will have to drop Steve a line and see how he's doing.
