Bad News For My Washington Brothers

ShotgunJohnShotgunJohn Posts: 1,545 ✭✭
It looks like the Seattle Cigar Expo is cancelled this year.
There is a post on the facebook page.
I was talking to a guy @ The Tinderbox and he told me that the woman who runs it is fighting with Seattle.
She had a 5 year contract, but City of Seattle decided to breech it, because of public smoking.
It looks like the city has no problem with marijuana they are still allowing Hempfest for 3 days. I guess illegal activity is sanctioned by the city, but 12 hours of lawful activity is not.

    Eh, wasn't going anyway due to not being able to walk around and smoke. Thought it was BS that I had to smoke in an outside "area".

    Really strange happenings tobacco= illegal, marijuana= legal. must be that 2012 effect. The new tobacco ad campaign on tv is not only grossly misleading but downright offensive.

    I lived in Washington for 3 years. Never again. And that goes for the entire west coast. Beautiful surroundings. Idiots running the place.

    It isn't getting much better out here. Now you can't smoke in state parks, most beaches and even in some downtowns. I have to admit it is nice not seeing a buch of butts lying around though. The marijuana dispencaries are starting to open so you'll probably be able to toke anywhere if you have a card. But now I can go around and pick up the roaches, hmmmm.

    I second that. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for close to 7 years. BEAUTIFUL country. I just don't see how so many people living in one of the most beautiful places in the world in PERFECT weather can be so uptight. It is definitely the land of fruits and nuts.

    Sorry you didn't like San Francisco. Actually, the land of the fruits and nuts is at the other end of the state. Trust me on that one.

    I lived in Washington for 20 years and loved the place, until it got Kalifornicated.

    I'm in Kentucky now for almost the same amount of time, and the teapublicans and conservatives here are just a bunch of whacked out wing nuts, but KY is drop dead georgeous with 4 really nice seasons.

    I really don't know which is worse; the Kalifornicators or the Teapublican wing nuts.

    Where in the hell have all the normal people gone?

    Here's the diff: The left wing retards come up with one new scheme after another to steal your money (lately, having run through yours, they are stealing your grand children's) and proceed from there to tell you how to live. They think government is smarter than people. The right wing retards are just retards. I'd much rather have retards who go to church than retards who steal from babies.

    dont discriminate against the west coast or the south, or any part of the country for that matter.

    there are idiots everywhere and from both sides of the isle.

    John did you get the email from them the other day? Sounded like they are going to try and get one going next year. Lets cross our fingers.

    Damn I wanted to go to that....Figures this city is not friendly to business!! Ask the Sonic faithful!!!
  • Washington brothers Seattle may have squashed it but there is a great replacement happening on the east side of the state in Spokane! Annual Little Smoke Cigar Festival is being held August the 11th at Legends of Fire cigar lounge in the Northern Quest Casino. I am looking forward to it, Charlie Torano and Jonathan Drew are special guest speakers at it and if you buy the VIP tickets you get a chance to meet both!

    Seattle may be do-able for me, but Spokane is a days drive for me.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
