The Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Christine Guisiana, board members, ambassadors, staff and Chamber members celebrated a ribbon cutting event at Cigarland’s new hookah lounge – “Z Lounge” – Jan. 10 with owner Z-Jay Zayyat and his family. For the past few years, Cigarland has offered a large selection of premium cigars, international and domestic cigarettes, pipes, tobacco accessories, incense, T-shirts and gifts at two locations (Condit Road and Tennant Station in Morgan Hill). The owner has recently expanded the company’s offerings to include a hookah lounge at the 620 Tennant Station location and offers more than 50 exotic flavors to choose from.

Give yourself the gift of retirement
Readers of my articles know that I am a huge fan of compound interest. With the holiday season already entrenched in retail stores and online, it seems that everyone wants to sell you something as a gift for your friends or family. But for most people, you’re not being given the opportunity to enjoy a worry-free retirement. So in the spirit of the holiday, give yourself the ultimate gift of a hassle-free retirement. Over time, those retirement accounts will yield interest and compound interest, amounting to sums that are larger than you might think.
