Finally, after living in Nashville for 2 years, I bought my first pair of Western boots. Tecovas Cartwrights in Scotch Goat. Bought them from their store in Nashville and rode my motorcycle downtown to their shop. On the way home, my backpack opened up on me and dumped one of them somewhere on I65, where the speed limit is 70mph. Now I'm down to one boot. Also lost a couple of cigars that were earmarked for a pass. Oof.
Suffice it to say, a little drowning of sorrows was in order so headed to my local shop (Franklin Cigar). The guys all understood my pain and, as always, were amazing. Ended up smoking a Fuente Rosado 65 and was gifted a CAO Gold and a Drew Papas Fritas to help assuage my pain. Solid shop with awesome staff and regulars.
All in all, made some solid connections for the price of a lost boot and a couple cigars. Fingers crossed that Tecovas helps me out on the boot part.
Cheers and have a great week!
