Launch update #1

The past week has found me inundated with work from both of my jobs. The first of the two every day is a morning job managing a free lunch program at a local park, and the other is an internship at Cascade Policy Institute where I research limited government solutions to many problems that Americans face every day.

All that to say, I’ve been busy.

However, I have been working on getting the website, twitter profile, and Flickr page online and updated.  I’ve also begun looking for contributors to the site. So far, I’ve heard back from a few cigar lovers in New York City, and all of them sound qualified to write for the site and help cigar lovers get connected.

For the next week or so, the main finetobacconyc updates are going to be through the twitter site (announcing new deals on cigars in the city) and new pictures uploaded to the Flickr account.

I don’t want to sound like it’s all work for me though: the 4th is coming up, and I’ve got a Romeo e Julietta Cuban waiting for me.
