I was out this past weekend for a wedding in Philadelphia. The weather was beautiful. Didn't get a chance to enjoy too many cigars over the weekend but i did go to Holtz Cigar Shop. Must've been the biggest walk-in humi that i have ever seen. I wish i would have had a chance to go to mahogany on walnut but time was limited. Ended up buying a pack of CAO Brazilia cigarillos and they were a great smoke for out front of the hotel. I really enjoyed my stay.

PM to you Vince

Home made beef stock! Garlic! That is a chef's secret to many a tasty meal. I love your selection of spices too! I'm 30 minutes south of Chicago Il. Do you live anywhere near! Like within 200 miles! Lol Sounds like you got one tender, moist and flavorful dinner brewing! Hope it was great!
