Our New Year's Eve celebrations now have become casual affairs, where everyone winds up at someone's house for a post-dinner drink and a smoke. New Year's Day is similarly casual, with everyone seemingly either hosting an open house or traveling between others.
I like that for the same reason I like fine cigars -- it inevitably leads to a lot of sitting around and telling stories. New Year's is extra special because it's an excuse to look back at 2010 with nostalgia, a final day of remembering the past before the new year starts with a vengeance.
We are hosting an open house this year (with two small children, that's a lot easier than getting in and out of the car seats), and frankly that's how I like it. All my cigar humidors will be loaded, and the cigar accessories ready to be used on the deck no matter how cold it is. We'll spend the day with good friends, lots of hot appetizers, premium cigars and a lot of conversation. And at some point over the 24 hours, we'll rehash 2010 and get ready for what 2011 may bring.
On behalf of Thompson Cigar, I hope your New Year is a healthy and happy one as well. Here's hoping you have a great end to the current year, and a perfect start to the next one.
