I only live an hour away but satying over Friday and Saturday night. Difference now is that unlike the other years we are in a compound. No worrying about drunk driving or worrying about the other brothers that look lik they had to much to drink. Movie theatre for the missus and a golf course for the guys. On top of that a reasonable room rate with a jacuzzi. Sounds like a nice set up this year. See everyone there. Less than three weeks now.

Hey Guys, Bought 6 tix for my fellow herfers and now another buddy wants to go. So, if anyone out there has someone who has to back out and has a ticket to sell email me at JoeB@aol.com.

Shoot just saw this thread, worthless chance but I'll give it a try: "Anyone with extra tickets e-mail me as I would love to attend this event." Ah what the heck I had to try you guys have a great time it sure sounds like it will be fun.

For those of us going we need to have somewhere to meet or some kind of identifying mark on our name badge so we can introduce ourselves. A banana would be a good idea.

I'll most likely be wearing a black Miami Dolphins cap with a white logo. I also have a Van Dyke (for those that don't know, it's a chin beard with a mustache)

Hope to see some of you there.

I can't believe I'm the first one to post about Cigarfest 2006. We got back into town late last night (midnight) and I'm tired as hell - BUT WELL WORTH IT !!!

On Saturday, the skies were clear, the wind was blowing slightly, and the parking lots were filling up as we arrived (just before 1:00 a.m.). We had to park in the back and walk down. There were BOTL herfing all over the place and everyone seemed really excited. This was my first real "mega-herf" experience and just running into people and talking had me stoked before we even walked into the door. Some people were impressed or really couldn't believe that we flew up from N.C. to go.

They opened the doors early (1:00 pm) due to some of the people already there that had gone to the brunch. It was a frenzy to get to the booths, but everyone was friendly and orderly. They gave us a nice black and green shoulder bag with a strap and they put the humidor in it for you and gave you a Smoke magazine and your coupon book. My humi was full of smokes like the RP Vintage 1992, REO, Kuba tubo, Connecticut Yankee, Gurkha Vintage, etc. - some really good smokes. I think they varied a little from person to person. My brother in law had 5 different sticks than I did (Bohemian, Perdomo, etc.)

Our goal was to get all of the free sticks out of the way so we could smoke, eat, listen to the band, and just enjoy the experience. That was accomplished (somewhat), but we got sidetracked when we ran into Rocky Patel. He was offering a Cigarfest '06 Special Edition set and we had to stop and buy that before they ran out. $59.95 got you a set of 1990 Vintage, Connecticut, and Sungrown - 4 each -(I think churchill size - can't remember) and he autographed it for you - . That was cool and they threw in a free fiver of the Connecticut. With a box purchase, CI gave you a free 3-torch lighter which was nice, but it got confiscated at the airport in Scranton. Lost both my lighters trying to get through. Fortunately, it was not a big financial loss. I took the chance because I got through the first time - oh well - I'll pick up a 3-torch in a week or so after I lick my wounds from this trip.

We made our way around to the 5 Vegas booth (awesome) and landed a Limitada and checked out the '06 Harley they were giving away. It was black and had their logo on it. They were offering a box for $59.95 that included 8 Gold, 8 Red, and 8 'A' (Artisan, I think) and for $10.00 more they gave you a fiver of the Limitada. This box purchase was the only way to get into the drawing for the Harley. We came back and got that a little later - didn't want to miss out on that.

CAO had a great booth - as expected. They were giving out the Criollo and a red card. If you smoked it to the nub and brought it back they gave you a "Black" to replace it. We did that of course. As you made your way around, they also gave you a Moontrance Torpedo. The Flavourettes were looking good and posing for pictures with people.

Nick Perdomo was near Rocky Patel and I actually got to him before Rocky. Their booth was very nice and they looked really professional in their suits and smoking shirts. I landed a hat from him, personally, when he found out that I was a Miami Dolphin fan (I had my Fins hat on). He is from Miami. He said that I had to wear it, though, which I proudly did - until I got to Rocky Patel, then I took it off out of respect.

We got the poster signed by the artist. It was really cool and she picked up on us being from North Carolina just by us speaking to her. She said her boyfriend is from N.C. Then we made our way to the Playmate and got her to sign her picture for our sons. Uh.... sweet Lord - (enough said).

We landed nearly 60 free sticks including the ones we got with box purchases and had a blast. Didn't win anything, though. The 5000 count humidor was awesome as was the Harley. Jonathan Drew gave away a $1000 lighter. They waited until after the Kentucky Derby to give away the bike. Everybody watched the Derby on the big screen and then they did the drawing. Some poor sap wasn't there for the drawing and missed out on the bike. They gave him a few minutes and then took out another ticket. Sucks to be him.

Since we didn't make it down until Saturday and were flying back late on Sunday, we drove over to the CI factory store in Bethleham, PA. That was cool and we picked up some Fumas for our father-in-law as well as a few prizes for ourselves. We also stopped by a place in Wilkes-Barre called La Humidor. If you're ever there, you need to go by this place. It's a cigar smoker's paradise. Great displays with a tremendous selection, good prices, smoking room with leather chairs, big screen, computers - the works.

Anyway - I'll leave some room for the other guys that went to say something. It was a great time and I definitely plan on attending next year. We were even on the plane (same row) with some fellow BOTL from Greenville, S.C. We talked smokes all the way to Atlanta.

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

Glad to see it was a great time. I missed it due to a bunch of reason's that I won't go in to detail about.
