We will be opening a shop in the next couple weeks on Thames st in Newport. We will be at the RISSA show with some exotic jerky and our 1st run of PETA t-shirts. Not sure what we will bring to the show for variety yet but we will have some cool stuff at a discounted price and t-shirts at 15 bucks.

You're talking about the stuff Jay had and not the tree bark Gil was selling as jerky, right?

HA, you mean the "greatest jerky on the planet.... I know becuase I made it" jerky that was comparable to show leather that you could see the white strings of fiber when you chewed through it?

That crap wasn't even suitable for a dog treat. It was like chewing a sneaker covered in dog chit

Lol I'm already in the most time consuming difficult business already. This will be a breath of fresh air and fun for me on top of my day job and 2 kids. I have a partner which will make it easier and I have had over 100 people working for me at one time in the past so I know what I'm in for. As far as fishing next to you, I hope so as I didn't get out much at all last year.

There are but you had better bring a truck load of money. I bought an AVO #9 in Newport last summer that cost me $12.00. It's a $7 to $8 cigar everywhere else.

I stopped in the shop yesterday and met Jay. Tried some really good and spicy turkey jerkey and equally good bacon jerkey. Shop was looking good as they had quite a few hot sauces on the shelves. Location is great and there was a mannequin peep show going on in the lingerie shop across the street. We talked about wives shopping for underwear across the street while the guys could buy jerkey at Jays shop. The litteral/joking meanings of that statement are endless. Anyway, when things are hopping in Newport there will be lots of eye candy seen from Jays location. I'll be stopping in from time to time. Best of luck and thank you for the samples and Wasabe Peanut bombs.

Sounds like you visited your neighbor. Maybe you can barter? Man I thinking Habs would have loved the possibilities. If they didn't want you to peep they would have painted the windows.
