I do not think I would want to take on the challenge of trying to do the first one in Nicaragua. Weather has never been a problem when I have been there all the times I have even carrying all the video equipment. Just have to realize it is a different place and the norm is not perfectly A/C rooms like here in the US but the two hotels in Esteli have A/C for just a small charge extra.

This time of year, they almost give away the rooms, and there is much more space for parties and gatherings. Like madurolover said, there are very few smoking restrictions, and plenty of places to herf. I love Miami, and have spent several weekends there. Nothing beats Myrtle Beach this time of year for things to do. Golf, beach, bars, beach bars, hotels, restaurants, and a decent airport. The only time I would say no to Myrtle Beach is April through August, as it is very crowded. For Fall, Winter, or Spring, I feel it is the best choice. Miami a close second.

This sounds awesome.

Just don't plan this thing for November. That would make Ryan the deer hunter very sad.

I've read most of this and commented a few times. I think Myrtle Beach sounds good, but it has one problem. Southwest airlines doesn't fly there. I bet a bunch of us would be on that airline since they are cheap. Not a deal killer, there are other airlines. Just a thought.

Spirit Airlines Flies into MBIA and its the cheapest air line I know off wen I travel from here to Boston to visit family, Ussually $150 for a round trip, which I dont think its too bad

I agree the fall and spring seasons here are the best. The winter here is too dead and is almost depressing. Ha, Breakers is pretty decent fairly decent sized rooms and its on the Strip. lots of stuff happening there. The place I was thinking of was more like Land's End BLVD and or Magnolia Point Plantations, completly diff than Breakers and I think more classy, just a thought.

Agreed. Breakers just can't be beaten for price and what you get. Tripadvisor.com's best deal for MB.

Ya, there are others. I was just mentioning it because Southwest is pretty much nationwide, and I might have a free voucher laying around

All good feedback. Maybe now we should try to put together the positives and negatives of each place so I can add it to the newsletter. Maybe we can make a rolling thread that each person adds to. This way it becomes a thread that has all the info within it. We can just start it now and have everyone add to it.

[danmcmartin]

We gonna add to this thread or start a new one?

So would I be Like:

Myrtle Beach

Pros:
Cheapest Cigars Prices In The US
Family Friendly
Smoking Permited Almost Everywhere
Golf Courses
Cheap Hotels

Cons:
Some Airlines Might not Fly There So Cheaply
Its No Miami Or Vegas

Comments: Though It may not be no Miami or Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach Offers a great family and smoking enviroment with good all around weather. MB is famous for Its beaches and Its Golf courses and great overall Southern Hospitality.

Something Like That Stogie?

[Stogie]

Perfect! Exactly, this is great.

[Qball]

Why not have regional herfs, and then connect to each other via the internet? Remote webcam feeds and stuff?

Just an idea

[JuJuMan16]

+1 for Miami

[danmcmartin]

Ok here goes for Las Vegas

Las Vegas

Pros:

It's Vegas, Baby!!
No shortage of things to do
Lots of classy cigar lounges and clubs
Hella cheap smoke shop right near downtown (cheaper than online, Indian owned=no taxes)
Most casinos let you smoke
Can be cheap if you shop around
Great airport, cheap flights and good ground transportation
Golf, Golf, Golf

Cons:

Maybe too many things to do (i.e. lose herfers to the tables, etc.)
Weekend rates are double/triple that of weekdays
Restaurant smoking ban
HOT in the summer

Las Vegas is a great destination and despite some smoking laws for restaurants, most casinos are good to go. Off the strip can save bucks and the casinos can be just as nice. Golf is spectacular as is the weather September-December and February-May. Can range from rock bottom cheap to over the top expensive depending on what you want. Big plus is if the wives come along they have plenty to do (sight seeing, shopping, spas, etc.)
