See you on the beach Thursday.

I first heard it leterally on a beach on a Thursday in Marina Del Rey in the lat 70's. I lived there fifty feet from the sand on Topsail street. One of my oldesrt friends Lenny Levitsky said it me for the first time as he was leaving the beach on his way to Hollywood Race Track. Many races have passed on and off the track for both of us, but win or lose there is never a time that goes by that we don't hang up from each other saying "I will see you on the beach Thursday."

The zeitigeist during that time and I still believe is a connection of character. I work at Cigar Masters, which is going to celebrate fifteen years of doing business in Boston. I have that one word that defines our success, and that word is connection. The guest that we see experience it with their cigars and their stories of smoking them. They also have it with friends, and lastly our service. Our staff knows how to make you feel right! Cigar Masters is a place that cigar smoking helps you renew conversation. It also draws the character of man together. Life these days can be cold, and certainly not short of sorrow. So to have a place like ours that gives you a sense of peace is invaluable.

When you look out the window you don't see the sand but the beach is not far, and either is Thursday.
