Come out and party with us again Sunday January 16th 2011 at Club Marlos! No work that Monday on this Martin Luther King weekend so get it in all night. This is Broad St., but no matter what it will be Luxe. We’ve been hosting this yearly event for a few years now. We do this joint once a year don’t miss it!

New video by Fabolous reminds me of Frank Millers 2005 movie “Sin City”. Instead of Clive Owen & Rosario Dawson the murderous couple killing people with style is Fabolous & Amber Rose. Fab drops clever Broad&Luxe lines like “Looking good has its sacrifices, chilly weather brings four figure jacket prices” and “she has enough class for wine, still handle Patron”. This was one of my favorite tracks to ride to this past summer and its still hot. Some cool products placement like Ciroc, JayZ head phones & a cigar here and there. We respect Fab as a serious cigar smoker not one of these rappers who use them for video props. He has said he like La Gloria Series R. Enjoy the vid.
Recently the renowned Barrister Cigars of Union, N.J. hosted a grand event for Miami Cigar & Company. Mr. Nestor Miranda was there to personally introduce the latest of his blends to come out of Don Pepin Garcia’sfactory that he will distribute to the world. A new line of smokes that I fell for immediately were introduced to me by Arielle Ditkowich, Ambassador of “La Sirena Cigars.”
Arielle the Ambassador is a woman cigar smoker who made a cigar for cigar smokers. No strawberry or vanilla tiny trendy sticks. The La Sirena is Nicaraguan, full bodied, a little spice and everything nice. Tastes great, didn’t fall apart, split open and no flaky ash.
The cigar is great down to the packaging. Her name is Arielle. The Disney classic, “The Little Mermaid”, main character was named was Ariel. The label on the cigar features a mermaid. The cigar box is a very appealing eye catching treasure chest. Some creative thought went into this. I love this. Of course none of this matters if the cigar is terrible, but its not its great. Why stop at creating a great cigar by stuffing it into a boring old coffin? I like the direction the new generation of the cigar lifestyle is going. We are not all the cigar smoker that George Carlin depicts us to be.
Nestor Miranda is the founder of the Miami Cigar Company. He shared his story of the ups and downs of the business. Introduced new blends like the Art Deco. Another marketing masterpiece that reminds me of Miami even if it is from an era before my time. I had a metal lunch box or two, I love Miami and cigars. I can relate and appreciate the extra effort put in for the customer.
My conversation with Nester was so LUXE. We talked cigars of course, but ventured off into pinky rings, family, business and personal advice that is invaluable. It was a pleasure to speak with Arielle, who reminds me of Scarlett Johansson, she was very helpful. Head to Barrister Cigars and try these cigars!
Thank you to the owner of the Barrister Cigars David Mallow for hosting another great event.

Its looks like 3-D flicks are here to stay. At Least until we get tired of them…..again. We have come a long way since the paper 3-D glasses of the 80′s. Now we get Ray Ban like hard plastic re-usable glasses that they ask be returned after the movie to be recycled. Good idea plus I don’t need cheap 3-D glasses laying all over my home.
If you want to step it up and go to the movie B&L style check out these Gucci 3-D glasses. For the hardcore movie goer. Gucci promises a premium cinema experience. Yours for $225.

Recently I visited the Smokers Den in Rahway. I heard good things about this place so I had to see for myself. One of the first things I liked walking inside was being greeted by the owner. It just comes across as, “Welcome to my house make yourself at home”. The humidor is fully stocked with La Gloria Cubana, Tabak, Aura, Rocky Patel, Torano, Padilla Miami, etc,. so on and so on. I am still impressed. I have been to much larger grandiose lounges without the cigars to match.
The Smokers Den has a great feel. A gracious host, plenty cigars, very cool laid back crowd and nice smoking room. The lounge section is a red room with vintage lamps with red lamp shades & cigar related decorative art. Leather couches, large screen tv & an outdoor backyard area I will be smoking in this summer. Stop by and relax with Sean at the Smokers Den. Also follow on twitter at @SmokersDenCigar . This place is B&L.
