Well by this time next week I will be in New Orleans for IPCPR and the Big Easy will never be the same. Tops on my list will be Cafe Du Monde in the morning before the trade show and of course the Twitter Brother Of The Leaf Cocktail Hour where we will be presenting Jerry Cruz with checks that were raised during the JJ4JJ fundraiser.
And now for the Sunday Links which will be on hiatus next weekend.

onfusion as the event at Cigar Inn for the launch of the 15th Anniversary they gave you a round cigar, but the cigar that is coming out on the market is box pressed.
