Was that an AVO Nub? also how do you get tickets to this?
Yes an AVO nub and Perdomo Lot 23 Nubs and CAO Brazilia Nubs. In order to get tickets you have to be in the cigar industry such as a manufacturer, importer, retailer, sales rep, media, etc. This is not open to the public. It truly is every cigar lovers dream though.
I haven't smoked much yet. Stupid cold and ear infection. Just sent a 40 stick bomb to my review partner at thecigarnut.com. Hope he has home owners insurance!
I didn't show you the pic of everything I got. You guys would hire someone to take me out if I did. I just highlighted some sticks I knew you guys would appreciate. Doing the review site has really helped me develop amazing relationships with some pretty big names in the industry. I was given many extras and attended several parties where cigars flowed freely. I promised to send some stuff on to my review site partner which I sent today.
I actually got to spend some private time with a few manufacturers and have been invited to the DR and Nicaragua. Going to get my passport ASAP. IPCPR was amazing and it was like a family reunion. I can't tell you guys in words how amazing the experience was and how wonderful these guys in the business are. I got to meet some amazing friends off of Twitter and some other forums. I really hope someday some of you guys get to experience what I did. Getting invited to sit down with AJ Fernandez blew me away. Getting 1 on 1 time with Guillermo Leon where he gave me some wonderful advice and insight was beyond words. Being hugged by Eddie Ortega and welcomed like I was his son was priceless. Meeting Don Pepin was unbelievable. Very overwhelming.
Sorry for the lack of other info on sticks and what is new. I seriously have information overload and am trying to spend time with the family. Alex posted a great thread with info in it.
omfg...nub Brazilia's....shoot..my favorite cigar ever..i will so be buying like 3 boxes when they come out guys!
CAO Brazilla's one of my faves too while I endorse your post Joey I couldn't afford 3 boxes even though I would love to have that many. @ The Drifter: Not yet Sir it's been stupidly hot around here lately, but I will try and get to it soon and also to Gurkha Evil.

Yeah man I hear ya, it's been disgusting here as of late. My brothers and I still grin and bear it.

You do not live to far from me. If your new sticks go missing, I had nothing to do with it.
cool deal.
I can confirm but he also had them in his booth. I think everyone will get to try them. He is a cool guy and very very tall lol.
Sounds like you had a great trip! I am very jealous of you brother, but I am glad you had such a wonderful time. So I saw you met AJ..did u happen to bump into Mr. Svenson while you were down there too?? I think AJ is his favorite blender.
