"Eddie Gamboa" Personalized Irish Mist West Bend Coffee Urn 1974 — LC History
Some things you buy because you need them. This isn't one of them. This is the urn that poured Irish Mist coffee when Eddie Gamboa Jr. was working the bar — and if you were in Las Cruces between 1970 and 2015, you probably knew Eddie. Liquor rep for Southwest Distributing, bartender at Palacios and Chope's, the man whose funeral pallbearers included two judges and the sheriff. In 1974, Heublein made these West Bend 30-cup percolators to push Irish Mist coffee in bars, this one comes with Eddie Gamboa's painted right into the brand graphics — his name alongside the shamrocks and the costumed Irish Mist figure, like he was part of the label. Because in this town, he was.
