H. Upmanns for me!

Quite a nice factory update there John! In fact many of those 4003 JG's went out today and we have a bevy of 4003 FG's going out tomorrow...

To put aside your doubts, I assure you that Anniversary models will be shipped to the UK.

So... who's going to attend the 100th in 2031?

One of my workers found a pair of sunglasses in the assembly area the other day. I have them in my office so please contact us if you're out there!

Ok, I know some of you snapped photos of the purpleburst too...

From Rick HQ to Newport is very accessible via Jamboree or MacArthur if there's traffic, but I've never waited more than a half hour on the 55 to get from the factory to the Triangle Square area near the Costa Mesa...

It's 325C64 and 1996 time!

There's a hiccup of 360/12C's on the way in a few weeks, fyi...

The Inca Grill is great if you're of the Peruvian persuasion foodwise. I go there sometimes for lunch. They are a tad on the slow side though. Near Rickenbacker? There's a Karl Strauss brewery, a cool jazz lounge at the Chat Noir, and one of our Rick employee's favorite haunts, Memphis Bar over by t...
