It's not too early to be thinking about the 2011 ProCigar Festival.  This event is a wonderful opportunity for cigar enthusiasts.  Not only is the food great at ProCigar events, but the festival offers a unique opportunity for conversation with the noted tabaqueros of our day.  For more information, go to http://www.ProCigar.org. 

ProCigar will also have a booth at the IPCPR Trade Show in New Orleans in August.
