The employees are not too knowlegable on cigars and I educated them on what the difference was between mold and plume. Not to mention, the waitresses are smoking hot in semi-see-thru skirts and g-strings
I just didn't get that much out of the Casa...it was fine but if i would have paid $10 online I would have been disappointed.

As for the waitresses - did you get served by Iris? What a little doll...well, not completely little

Re: Taking a few sticks to Vegas, How to store?

GREAT!! thanks for all the knowledgeable info guys. I never knew about that place in Ceasars Palace so I will definately be making a stop there. I think I will go with the ziplock bag and a cigar box to carry them around. I do like that otterbox though. Maybe that will be my next purchase, but I'd rather spend them on some stogies

Thanks again for all the great info guys!!!

Re: Taking a few sticks to Vegas, How to store?

I just came back from there from a two week stint for work. I'll be back there in about two weeks. There are a crapload of b&m's out there too. Henderson is choc full of them. Vegas is a great place to find opus x, a bit pricey but a nice selection everywhere.

Casa fuente is a must visit. Although, I didn't have any luck on the tables. Lots of convention people around with no experience. That's good for poker, but not for craps or blackjack.

Have a good trip and keep your smokes safe. There are still alot of smoke nazis running around the casino, but this time no one said crap to me or even gave me a dirty look. They just kept their distance, which was good IMHO.

The vegas hilton is a very cigar friendly spot. I go there on sundays for the sports book. Always fun.

Smoke Nazi's? Shoot, the very first thing I do when I go to vegas is get in a hotel and light up in the lobby!! It just feels good to do it since its against the law in California. So screw those smoke nazi's and their dirty looks, this is about the only place I can light up while being indoors.

thanks for the tips. Oh and I loooove it when there are conventions going on in Vegas. All the poker players think they are hot stuff and I just kill on the tourneys sometimes.

Except when you get the mom poker player who is just playing for fun then beats you with a 9 7 off suit while you have a q, and you hit a Q on the flop yet she pulls a set of nines!!! ok end rant.

I actually just finished a Trinidad Reyes and after they have sat in there for a while I can really say that those are some mighty fine cigars!! I got these from a different source than the other fugazzi's and also purchased a 5 pack of Cohiba Siglo VI's and in my newbie opinion those were the smoothest best tasting cigars I have ever had.

Well anyways, here is my question. I will be going to vegas for the weekend pretty soon and I want to take a few sticks with me. I do not know what would be the best way to transport these and still keep them fresh. I don't have any travel humidors or anything like that. Is there anything I can use to help keep them fresh until I smoke them?? Please help me out here fellas!! thanks in advance for your opinions.
hey, a couple of things...

- definately get yourself an otterbox, you won't regret it.

- casa fuente. go win a few bucks at the table and buy a casa fuente robusto. (RPB67 will tell you the corona gorda, but either/or...)

- is it just me, but i have never seen the siglo VI in a 5-pack? 3-pack, yes. but not a 5er? anyone?

I only smoked the ones with mega plume. I guess I was lucky. The other shapes had no plume. I will try another one. As for the Anejo, they are still the best in the whole line. Would you not agree?

Which one was she? The Asian, Latina or the little red head?

Re: Taking a few sticks to Vegas, How to store?

have fun in Vegas....

For a day or two I dont worry about the humidity, I'd just be concerned with keeping the cigars in one piece, whatever works.... that said, an otterbox is hard to beat (air tight and allmost indistructable)... I have a fifteen ct.... I can put enough in it that I usually have a nice selection to choose from or enough to pass around. I havent checked in awhile but these use to be easy to find at good prices on Cbid.

My three finger case, and 15ct otterbox take care of all my cigar travels, a good 'traveldor" is a must sooner or later.....

Is it true..... "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"
