Since Twins Smoke Shop was kind enough to agree to be one of our sponsors for the Great NE Smoke Out, Jim and I felt it only fitting to show you all what their shop, our home away from home, looks like.  If you are ever in the Exit 5 off of Interstate 93 - North Londonderry - area, stop in and say hey to Kurt!  The man knows his stuff when it comes to stogies.  and he is good peoples.... Oh, and he has lots of Ashtons for me!  WOOT!

History of the Great NE Smoke Out:

A little history about the Smoke Out.  A group of folks known as the SAN (Sniper Assassination Network) congregating on the CA forums were discussing the possibility of a get together.  Easymark (Lee Tarantino) came up with the idea of possible getting a place in Worcester Ma. for the get together.  Nestsdad (Jim Edwards) and I (Al Martin) offered up my place as a viable alternative so that the costs of the event could be kept to a minimum.  Everyone loved the idea.  Jim and I took it one step further, we got sponsors for the event so that it could really be considered a Smoke Out! And there you have it, if Easymark, hadn't a thunk it, it probably wouldn't have happened.  WooT Easymark!
