    Well, the shop closes at 5 and I imagine we might be there until closing. We'll have to wait and see if we make it over to Pechanga or if we call it good at 5.

    They have different hours for summer time and such, I think the early closing is the summer hours, but its been a while since I have been there, damn economy....grumble....

    Hey Joe. I thought they closed at 7:00pm?
    You're probably right...For some reason I thought it was 5..or maybe it was 6? Because I know they were getting ready to close when we went down there and that Nut store we went in closed at 7 and they were still open....? Ah, I can't remember.

    Hey all, a little update. So we had the herf today, honestly the turnout was better than I expected and it was great to meet some of the forum guys...a great bunch if I do say so. Here's a group pic.

    herf

    From left to right: Sam, Tim (TGO), Garen (Garen B), Leonard (leonard), Tino, Joe (j0z3r), Patrick (Kamelyon), Russ (Russ55)

    I can't speak for the crowd, but I had a good time, smoked some good cigars and, well, just enjoyed myself. I'd definitely look forward to doing this again.

    Thanks guys for coming out, hopefully you all enjoyed yourselves.

    Joe

    Yeah thats a nice turnout. Looks like a nice selection of sticks in there with you guys...bet everybody smoked some good ones. What was the farthrest someone traveled to attend ? Its great to be able to put some faces to some names , I think it brings the forum even closer together and this is already a tight knit bunch for a forum. Glad you had a great time and thanks for the pics !!! Gene

    I had a really good time. It was a nice place, and the company was excellent. Thanks for organizing this Joe.

    Also, the cigar selection was at least double what you see there. There was a whole other wall, and a walk in humidor. I was impressed at their variety.

    I had a Blast! Great to meet so many knowledgable cigar aficianados... lots of great discussion and I learned a few things. Look forward to the next one!!! Tim

    I'm bummed that I couldn't make it out there at the last min...I hope you guys enjoyed it so much that it's becomes a monthly/bi-monthly thing! (hey I can hope :) )
  • Options
    I definately had a great time. I can see this as a monthly get together. Maybe we could all review the same cigar and discuss it the next month or whenever.

    TGOTGO Posts: 340 ✭✭
    That's a great idea!

    That's a great idea man, maybe go and all pick out the same cigar there and review while we chat.
  • Options
    TGOTGO Posts: 340 ✭✭
    You know what would be really interesting... we all pick the same cigar and smoke but post the reviews blind to the same thread. People would probably have different perceptions anyway based on taste and preferences but I wonder if the power of suggestion if discussing perceptions while we collectively smoke might change individual observations to the collective observation... or I could be thinking WAY too much about it LMAO!
