Stogie Exclusive: Macanudo Ambassador in DC
8 Jun 2006
Given that a large number of our readers are from the Washington, DC area, we would be remiss if we didn’t tell you that the Macanudo Factory Ambassador is in town.
Our friends at JR Cigars in Washington hosted the ambassador yesterday. John Sullivan,the manager there, told us he had a great turnout. He also said that “Signe, the Macanudo Ambassador, was well informed about cigars and was giving away Macanudo Hyde Parks. It also didn’t hurt that she was a knockout!”
Besides the Macanudos, they also had specials on many other fantastic General Cigar brands. John was also kind enough to send along a picture of Signe, the Macanudo Ambassador, telling one customer about Macanudo’s offerings. (See, what did we tell you about women with cigars!)
Also, be sure to mark you calendars for July 7th when John and JR host Partagas Roulette. Truth be told, we’re not really sure what that is, but since it probably means winning free Partagas cigars, we’re all for it!
Tonight the Macanudo Ambassador will be at Georgetown Tobacco from 4-8pm. (Yours truly may be making an appearance, though it would have to be on the late side because after all, some of us have to work for a living.)
To keep up with events all over the country, we recommend that you check the Cigar World events page regularly. Also JR Washington has an events page that you should keep an eye on.

It was a good turnout the hour or so I was there. Seeing all the JR guys wearing matching hats made for a good laugh. A lot of folks I talked to while I was here said the e-mail promotion was a bit misleading saying they were expecting an actual cigar roller to show how a cigar was rolled but hey, a free cigar is a free cigar.
The Partagas Roulette is a yearly event. They bring a roulette table and after every round, the player with most chips wins like 3 smokes (General Cigar). Its free to play and you can play as many times as you want…well within reason. You also get a pack of Partagas playing cards and the usual but 2 sticks, get the 3rd free deal.
Thanks for the info, Jerry.
FYI for all you Stogie Guys: Patrick and I attended this event when it was at Georgetown Tobacco Thursday evening.
Expect to see a post on that – including a photo of us with Signe, the General Cigar Ambassador – on Monday.
