On November 12th "The Hill Cigar Company" is having an Ashton event featuring.... drum roll please... La Aroma de Cuba.

This B&M is located in the grand old historic "Hill" area which is home to the finest Italian restaurants in Missouri. :smoker:

Fun Fact:
Groucho Marx suffered from insomnia, which he claimed was due to a financial loss in the stock market. When he suffered from insomnia, he used to call people up in the middle of the night and insult them. In the 1950s Groucho was invited to take a tour of the New York Stock Exchange. While in the observation booth, he grabbed the public address system handset and began singing "Lydia the Tattooed Lady". Upon hearing silence coming from the trading floor, he walked into view, was given a loud cheer by the traders, and shouted, "Gentlemen, in 1929 I lost eight hundred thousand dollars on this floor, and I intend to get my money's worth!" For fifteen minutes, he sang, danced, told jokes, and all this time, the Wall Street stock ticker was running blank.

Formerly known as "Dago Hill" until political correctness took hold.   Yogi Berra grew up there.

I've attended an Ashton "Taste of Excellence" event, and I had a great time.  They make some good cigars, albeit a bit pricey.  They ended up giving out an Ashton Cabinet, Ashton Aged Maduro, Evan Williams Single Barrel, and some chocolates they sell.  Not bad for a free event!

You are correct sir!  At one time people were proud to be known as residents of "Dago Hill".  Political correctness will eventually ruin our way of life.  I don't believe our founding fathers planned for PC.

Oh, I suspect there are a few people who still call it Dago Hill, and mean no ill will by it.

Last few times I was in St. Louis, I found it to be a pretty friendly place.
