The First Part!

The regular meeting, which is normally held on the last Wednesday of the month – is in the process of possibly being changed. I am waiting for confirmation from the Chop House, but we are tentatively scheduled for NEXT week (November Second  – or 11/2/11 for the digitally minded.) This is the result of being overscheduled again. I am going under the assumption that this is fine, but if not, you will recieve another meessage from me as soon as I am aware.

The Second Part!

As a result of our having to reschedule, we have been given an opportunity. The owner of the Grand River Cigar house has graciously offered to open his establishment tonight (10/26/11) to accomodate us. The location is at 131 S. Division in Grand Rapids. The lounge is not completely finished yet, but there are seats and tables and parking. This is an opportunity to check the place out before pretty much everyone else, which is cool and very nice. We are welcome to arrive after 5:00 and they will stay open as long as we need. This will be strictly BYO (cigars, drinks, ice.)

The Third Part

The Cigar of the Month is the La Perla Habana Black Pearl:

La Perla’s Black Pearl is an, er, jewel of the first order. An uber-tasty maduro with lip-smacking, deep maduro flavors galore, Black Pearl brings a jet-black Brazilian Arapiraca maduro wrapper which disguises a meaty long-filler blend of aged tobaccos from
Nicaragua, Mexico, and the Dominican to create a rich, brawny smoke that’s medium in body and balanced throughout. Complex notes of toast and wood mingle with a subtle caramel sweetness, while the rich aroma fills the room with deep charcoal scents.
Rich and flavorful.

There is no fourth part.

Hope to see a lot of people tonight, and maybe next Wednesday as well.
