I've got a nice silver spoon for CI to eat my a$$. they could be selling a super magical cigar for a penny that gave me an orgasm just by lighting the damn thing. I wouldn't buy it. I havent bought anything from them since they pulled that BS.

But whats odd about that (amongst other things) is that they were selling tickets in the CI superstore thur. and fri. before the event last year.

But if you didnt get the emai, or the second email, or go to the store before the event, you could always just get one in the parking lot, if you want to over pay. I thought that was kinda lame.

Even Vegas has a ban of sorts now. You can only smoke on the gaming floor areas and designated bars. When I was there last year the ban had just gone into effect so no one was really paying attention to it. I'm heading back there tomorrow for a quick trip. I hope it hasen't gotten worse.

Just recieved the email saying tix on sale Feb 2. How much are these running typically?

I just posted a link about this in the PA meetups section. If I recall tix were $1?? last year. I heard someone say they ended up with a duffel, and 40+ sticks along with the food/entertainment. Well worth it.

Depends on which ones you get. They have three types.

General Admission $95 and you get in at 2pm

VIH (very important herfer) $110 and you get in at 1pm

Brunch Tix $140 You get to eat with all the cigar stars at 10am and go into the show at noon.

Disclaimer: The prices have been different every year and the names change a bit but thats close. They may have something else planned this year. We will see.
