From the desk (and BlackBerry) of Keith Parnell

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Kristoff event at Emerson’s Cigars in Greenbrier. From an invite he found on my blog, (upcoming) Chesapeake City Councilman Brian White showed to enjoy the festivities. If you’re a citizen of Chesapeake (VA), get out and vote for Brian in May.

Tools of the Trade in the Man Room

I had a buddy (cousin, actually) that approached me earlier this week wanting a few cigar recommendations. He’s a newbie in the cigar world and wanted to get a fair shake at starting with a decent smoke.

Of course I recommended the A Fuente OpusX and the CAO LX2, which are my favorites, by far.

That got me thinking about sharing with you a few cigar feeds that I have in my Google Reader. I try to keep up with them as much as possible - these guys review some very good smokes.

What others do you have that you could share?
