Last Friday, December 16, 2011, was the last date on Matt Booth’s Cigarmageddon Tour, ending where it began: Burns Tobacconist in Chattanooga, TN. The start was at the Chattanooga Tweet Up in August when Booth introduced this year’s limited edition cigar in the Room 101 collection, the Namakubi. Hopes were high that we would be able to be the first shop to get our hands on the official release of the OSOK (One Shot One Kill) for this event, but delays happen when you are dealing with shipments to foreign countries. The OSOK is now expected to debut in January.
We did have the namesake for OSOK, Mr. Edgar Hoill, in the house for this event, though. Edgar has been working with Matt Booth from the start as his official photographer. The West Coast half of the Tiki Bar, Keith Hollar, has also been in talks with Edgar for a story that will focus on his photography; there might be a contest and a print given away in conjunction with that story, so that’s something to look forward to in the New Year.
I had the opportunity to sit down and chat a bit with both Matt Booth and Edgar Hoill on Friday night. Here’s that conversation…
We say hello to Dan of New Havana Cigars (www.newhavanacigars.com) and Dan of Cigar Explorer (www.cigarexplorer.com) who stop by Village Tobacconist for a smoke during CigarMageddon…
…Searching for the muffin man, I encounter some of the Village Tobacconist faithful and discuss some Namakubi and somehow end on the topic of Bukkake… Hmmm, this could begin to get interesting.
Third day of this glorious journey takes us to the Village Tobacconist in Fairlawn, OH. Once we arrived, we were greeted by Mr. Matthew “Cupcakes” Waris, thank god he was clothed for this visit…
I tried to get time to interview all the special guests we had at the Chattanooga Tweet Up, but I’ll have to admit to not getting to everyone before the party ended. As lucky would have it, though, I caught Matt Booth in the Burns office and was able to get him to say a few words…after he grabbed the camera and reversed the roles…
