Weekly Email – Feb. 11th, 2015

In case you missed our earlier announcement, George Sosa – Vice President of Sales for Alec Bradley Cigars and a 25-year Navy veteran – is here at the shop for an informal meet-and-greet. In recognition of his service, we’ll be honoring ALL Navy personnel (active duty or otherwise) with a special bonus during his visit. Just show us your military ID or proof of service and we’ll take care of the rest.Not a sailor? No worries! We’ll still be featuring special deals on all our Alec Bradley products, so come on down and be prepared to stock up on all your favorites, including Black Market, Prensado, Raices Cubanas, Nica Puro,American Classics, American Sun Grown, and the fantastic new Coyol.

If you don’t know about this by now, you haven’t been reading your ASWnewsletter! (But it’s OK…that’s why we send one every week.) In case you’ve just returned from an uninhabited atoll in the South Seas, here it is again:Tomorrow, February 12th, we’ll be hosting a Joya Red cut-and-light, courtesy of Joya de Nicaragua! From 4:00-7:00 PM, Drew Estate‘s own Sam Smerkolwill be on hand with plenty of samples to go around, so plan to light up, hang out, and let us know what you think! (Ever smoked a Joya Red? You’re in for a treat!)

Valentine’s Day is this weekend! And ASW is your one-stop shop for all the gifts you’ll need… Just show this newsletter to your beloved and drop a hint or two, and we’ll do the rest. Need some incentive? All gift boxes will be 10% from Thursday, Feb. 12th thru Saturday the 14th! This goes for ALL gift boxes, including Oliva, Padron, and Opus X tins! Remember, nothing says lovin’ like a cigar…or, as Edward Bulwer-Lytton once said: “A good cigar is as great a comfort to a man as a good cry to a woman.”
