In this episode, we're doing something a little different. We started receiving "Farm Rolled" cigars from the Privada Cigar Club on a monthly basis. But before we go further we must acknowledge that there are a lot of cigar clubs out there; this is not to say one is better than the other. They all have their positive attributes. That said and out of the way, we selected one of the cigars so that we both had the same cigar (we get two packages) out of our monthly mailing from Privada. Very little information about the cigars is provided. The provided explanation is that this is to protect the farm and factory because the same cigars are actually more expensive with the added costs of a banding, the name, warehousing, and the supply chain yadda yadda. We know a few things... that it's from AJ Fernandez, that is has a San Andres wrapper, and that it's boxed pressed. So, OK, we we're giving these a try. And we were both very impressed. They were fresh, well packaged, and very tasty. The cost of the cigar through this club (minus minimal s/h) comes to about $5 a stick. How can you beat that? And. we suspect it's really a... well, you'll have to listen to find out. Our parting comment? This was a multi-nuanced smoke that we thoroughly enjoyed. Our hats are off to Privada.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
