Well, we're not dead and are at it again today! The future home base of Southern Cross ci**rs gets closer to ready each day. The work has interrupted my posting schedule, but will be well worth it in the end!
So far, we have rebuilt the front porch, remodeled the bath room complete with new commode, new sink and vanity, fresh paint and new flooring. We have removed carpeting from the room that will become the walk in humidor and are working on refinishing antique hardwood flooring, a bunch of Spanish Cedar will be ordered soon for the walls and ceiling, along with cedar shelving and cabinetry, and a humidification system.
We will be redoing the flooring in the remaining rooms and getting in furnishings to create comfortable smoking areas.
As the weather becomes fit for humans, we will begin working on some outdoor spaces, thinking fire pits and Adirondack Chairs, and whatever the closest thing to tropical foliage is that I can get to grow around here!
In addition to the shop we will be getting back to our mobile format, again as the weather becomes suitable for human life!
In Cigar announcements, we have just gotten in a fresh assortment of Rodriguez from Key West. A new box of Punch Rare Corojo in the Rapido size (5x40). And, best of all, we have 2 boxes of CAO Amazon Basins, and having burned one, I can attest to the fact that they are every bit as delicious as anticipated!
We hope to get things together for an opening very soon, but in the meantime we are accepting visitors. If you are in Camdenton, drop by and see what we are up to. We are right across the street from El Caporal, and right in front of Motor Hut. Visit our neighbors and pick up a great meal and a new chainsaw while you're in the neighborhood!
Pictures show our current state of disarray! We're getting there though, and look forward to seeing everyone soon!!
