Ideas for Virginia Herf (that's not "virgin herf" fellas)

[itstim]

I thought I would get the ball rolling...We mentioned Uncle Mikey's in Richmond in the Calling All Virginians thread in World Cigar Lounge ...Any other thoughts?

[shelvingunit]

Mikeys on a Saturday sounds like a plan. So do we want to start thowing some dates/times around yet? I figured sometime in late Feb or March might be good. I'll check with Mike too.

For those that live around Richmond or plan on staying the night we could also head down to Tobacco Co Rest and grab some apps and drinks and continue the herf there. Depending on when the herf is we could also check out Havana 59, they should be re-opening soon (flood damage from Gaston)

Around then sounds good.

Just make sure we don't get there at the same time as the Atlanta Falcon Cheerleaders "2005 we lost again cigar shop tour".. I hate when they keep asking me for a light "...you make me soooo hot ... can you set me on fire....". I mean really, they never have a cigarette or a cigar and they want light .... wazzup with that?

Interested.

Timing looks pretty good... but I'm flexible right now.


I'll keep checking in, see what the crew decides.

Mike's shop is on W. Broad St just East of Parham Rd. Hooter is across the street if you are familiar with the area. If you make it out that way sometime shoot me a PM, I'd like to meet you over there....your humidors look fantastic.

I wish I knew more Richmond haunts. Doesn't the Tobacco Co. have a smoking lounge?

Sounds like a great idea to me. Would like the chance to meet some of the fellow members.

This sounds like a great idea. I checked out the Tobacco Co Restaurant and Havana 59 via the web and they both look like cool places to herf.

If anyone else is interested in checking these places out, go to:

Havana 59 would be a good place for a Sat night herf. It looks like they will re-open sometime in March.

The second link is for Havana 59 is in Newburgh...not Richmond.

Here is a link to Havana 59 from Richmond cityserch

When it was originally open it did have a cool South Beach latin vibe, I've never been to Cuba so I can't say if the Cuban vibe was there...

The food was hit or miss. Apps drinks and cuban cigars and we should have a great time.

Easter is the last weekend in March, so if we are herfing in March, the available Saturdays are March 5, 12, and 19. Does March work for everyone? If so, I can post a new thread with a poll about choosing dates.
