Crush & Roll Festival Coming Next Month

If you love cigars and wine and will be in central California next month, you should definitely check out the Crush & Roll West 2011 festival. It takes place September 16-17 at the Paso Robles Event Center, which is said to be the heart of California’s wine country. Considered to be the central California coast’s premier wine and cigar event, Crush & Roll promises plenty of fun for all who attend.

This is the third year in which the Crush & Roll festival has brought together wine enthusiasts and cigar connoisseurs. There will be plenty of fine wines and premium cigars to sample, as well as educational features where participants can learn more about the production process from expert winemakers and cigar manufacturers. The itinerary kicks off on Friday, September 16, with cocktails. Raffles, an auction, and a poker tourney will follow. Capping off the night will be a mixture of music, port, wine, and cigars. Saturday’s lineup includes educational seminars that showcase cigar rolling demonstrations and more. More raffles will take place throughout the day as well. Various food vendors will be on hand, and wine tasting and cigar sampling will wind down the festival.

Tickets to Crush & Roll 2011 cost $125 per person. This includes full admission to both days of the festival, plus all the samplings from participating sponsors. Crush & Roll partnered with Cigar Rights of America for the event, so attendees will also receive a complimentary one-year membership or extension to CRA. Last, but not least, CRA will throw in a special 10-pack of cigars that includes stogies from Arturo Fuente, Drew Estate, E.P. Carrillo, J.C. Newman, My Father Cigars, Nestor Miranda, Padron, La Flor Dominicana, Rocky Patel, and Tatuaje.
