ArtWalk Downtown Hollywood | August 2011 By John Gillan

Naples Invasion.

Most people don’t understand why Cuenca’s and actually, sometimes I catch myself giving a second thought. Especially when I go by a friend’s place and realize it how many big, pretty and well stocked cigars shops are out there. But when I see a whole family and friends traveling all over the world, the state or the country to reach us then I said: There must be something “especial” about Cuenca Cigars, and there is…. It is in fact: YOU!

Last week we celebrate the August 2011 Downtown Hollywood ArtWalk and as usual, it was a gratifying evening. John and Theresa Gillan, our regular friends and artists were here to present “Smallwood and The Seminoles” for the last time before the next exhibit opens on August 26th. Our friends from Naples came again and this time Trombones’ where packed for the trip!

Naples friend, Lennart Caspersen and Oriente's a Balzola's Guitar with a deep Afro-Cuban roots with Blues, Jazz and Brazilian influences merge together in an exiting and full of talent “Orchestra”. Customers have joined the musicians and sings and dance in a harmonic evening to celebrate Art and the freedom to smoke great cigars.

Lennart Caspersen born in Denmark, 20 years in the US, resides in Naples, FL. Coming from a very musical family he started playing the drums in his mid teens in Denmark, and has over the years played music styles like Jazz, Latin Jazz, Blues, Rock, R&B, Funk, Reggae & Country. His passion is Latin & Latin Jazz, and he never misses a chance to hit the drums.

Also that night we welcome Beverly and her husband from “Beverly's Tropical Glass Design Studio” South Florida's Finest Art Glass who enjoyed and fulfilled evening of Food, Shopping and Night Life in Downtown Hollywood.
