I read some of the more negative comments about this event. I guess all I'll say is that this kind of leather and mahogany event isn't my kind of deal, but New York City isn't my kind of place.

I suppose that if it raises money for a charity, then good with it.

I will post this again, since it is not clear from the flyer, my apologies on that:
For total transparency:
1. This has been approved by CfW. You can find it one their social media.
2. The "portion" is $10. While that is not a great donation, Club Macanudo gave as an all in price of $175. I wanted to make the ticked price $190, but my fear is even $185 will be a stretch to reach forty attending to trigger the $175 price.
3. The "donation required" to enter the raffle will go to CfW

I hope this clears up our intent. We are most certainly not doing it for a payday.

Yeah buddy I get it man. The part that is not my cup of tea is the club macanudo part.

About the part you added $10 to the vig for the donation, you do you bro. I said I didn't mind because you were doing something for a good cause. Don't be so defensive and have fun and raise money.

_And I mean you know you did breach etiquette by coming in here and pimpíng your event right? I mean it's a good event and nobody is against it, but it is still a breach of protocol come to a community post your fukking advertisement without paying the hosts of this forum for that advertisement, and then defending your actions with everyone who called you out..... Charity or not._

Good for cigars for warriors, good for you, have fun, but if you're not going to be part of the community then you're not going to be part of the community and you can leave. If you are going to be part of the community, welcome.

That is all.

Advertising is by definition to raise awareness of a product to sell for profit, which this is not. It's the reason I use the word "flyer". I choose my words carefully.

It's not a "vig", which is by definition a loan shark's vigorish. It is a donation.

As to "pimping" my event, I'm sorry of it seemed that way, it was not my intent.

The reason I included the footnote to the flyer and what lead up to it is because I wanted to be clear; some in the community thought it was for profit. The lack of clarity was my fault. My explanation was not me being offended, defensive or [insert your adjective of choice].

I agree with your that is all with sine die and wishes for a smoky weekend.

Who tf is this guy?

Um, this is a public place, dooshbag, and you're promoting your bullshít. And your ten dollar VIG is just that...extortion. You can use whatever literal language you want to use. I have 2 autistic kids and I'm ready for your bullshít.

You earned my flag. GFY and your New York buddies.

Double L Properties LLC is not a sponsor. It's the OP's company.

I almost feel guilty for not being outside in the 70* sunshine but that would mean doing something productive and I don't want to ruin the streak I have going.
