    Hah. I don't know about that, but I can say I'd be at the Illusione booth, if there was one, trying to get a deal on a box of Epernays.

    It'd be EPIC if he just shoves his fingers in your face and just says: "Cigarfest... Boom"

    Had a great time last night!! Tons of people, tons of smokes and tons of fun!! Met Pete Johnson and talked to him about S&S, which he said will have 15 cigars. He said he really wants the guys who join will get his stuff, but I'm sure he said that for us to sign up...lol. Talked with Drew as well and he said that the T52s are going to be harder and harder to find. Why, because they are running out and cant make enough to put out into the market. Therefore, the customers are picking up the 9's now also and they will be harder to get as well. He said get em while you can. Then he said, sorry fellas, I wish I had some more of the MF-13, but I'm out. So he just gave me and 2 other friends a LP9 Robusto, which I gladly took. Spoke with a few other people there. All in all, I will def be going back again next year. Well worth the $100 addmission which included drinks, food and tons of cigars and free stuff. Pics below...

    Well next time you plan a trip to Texas, come during the event. This was only the 2nd year they have done this, usually around the same time, in April. Well since that AVO "looks good", it will be in your package.
