Local Cigar Events

Hey guys - since a lot of us end up talking about a variety of events that go on around us, I figured it might be appropriate to set up a new dedicated thread where we can discuss these. (If Ccom disagrees with this idea, I don't mean to offend and please delete this.) I'd say rules are that we minimize naming B&Ms on the open forum, and instead just detail the general area of the event. For example:
There is a Graycliff event going on this coming Saturday the 24th at a well known shop in Marin County, CA. I'd like to go, but I'm a little on the fence - if any forum members from that area will be attending, however, I'd be more inclined to go for the chance to meet you.

Went to a CAO event tonight ...had a blast...it was held at a pub with a nice smoking area downstairs with a bar of its own. Got a CAO Gold and the new CAO La T which I smoked both these at the event . Both were good and had my share of adult beverages. Started out with Makers Mark and then switched to Fat Tire . Won a five pack of the CAO Crillo so that was cool. Also some very good food. I am now full, somewhat drunken and smoked up (cigars!) and the humi's a little fuller ...goodnite all !!!0

Man Gene... that sounds like an awesome time!

Lol I just noticed the actual date - I'm already scheduled for that day to be picking up a friend from the airport in SF (which is an all-day venture), so basically it's a no-way for me. Damn - I was seriously considering making the drive too..¨The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea¨ - Isak Dinesen

Depending on how things work out, I might be able to go down for that event. I've wanted to check out the Excalibur for a while now.
Is their lounge a "members only", or is it open to the public?0 -
The same Cigar place that is having Charlie Torano on the 22nd is having Rocky on the 29th!!!
I'm wokring that day, so I may have to call in sick *Cough* *Cough*0 -
Its open to the public & you can also join the club.....i was going to join for 120.00 which gives you 10-40% discounts on sticks and prob beer/wine and gives you a personal humidified locker for your sticks.j0z3r:Depending on how things work out, I might be able to go down for that event.

Is that $120 a month? Or a year? Cuz if that's annual, that's really good.AQUADGIO1200:

120.00 per year membership.....oh man..if it was monthly, i would expect all you can smoke cigars when you visit (kinda like joining a golf club---unlimited rounds)Hays:

Well I don't know what's typical in your area, but $120 for a club membership is super low around here, as well as in the Bay Area...AQUADGIO1200:

Charlie Torano and live rolling will happen tonight at my Local B&M and I was wondering, I've only really had the Casa Torano and if they have some INSANE box deals what would you guys all recommend?0

The Exodus Gold. Wish I could be there tonight. Stuck in Chicago on business.0

Just got back from a Rocky Patel event at a B&M here in Baton Rouge and yes the man Rocky Patel was there in the flesh. I was actually nervous meeting him. Super nice guy and he spent the entire time I was there talking and introducing himself to everyone there. He debuted his "autumn" line and everyone got a free RP Rennaisance. I smoked that while I there and it was a very good smoke. Good enough that I bought 3 more and got an extra freebie on top of those.0

Sounds good dwayne ...I'd like to meet Rocky ...0

Perdomo event in Bloomfield NJ. 5pm - close. Not sure if I will be able to make it.0

November 12th in Atlanta, CAO and Torano event. My affinity for the Torano's will insure my presence. I attended a great event recently with Perdomo, Gurkha, and El Primer Mundo. I was not familiar with the later, but the maduro torpedo was excellent.0

The Casa Torano Maduro is one of my favorite Maduros. I haven't had many of the other Torano cigars, but I have a few resting for me to try out. The Signature is high on the list after seeing a few guys here rave about them. EDIT: looks like your event happened already.

I'm just waiting for Oct. 29th!!! Pete Johnson at my favorite local shop!!! They had Kinky Freidman a week or two ago and there was a Nub event with Sam Leccia last weekend that I missed, but I have to make it to the Pete Johnson event! I am hoping to get to split a box of the much coveted "Drakes" with a buddy of mine! The owner said if he gets any that he would hook us up. They are very hard to come by and he doesn't get many boxes... Ohhhhh I HOPE!!!!0

Good Luck on getting some Dracs. If you get any extras, think of me, but really the buzz around these are huge. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for an opportunity. I think the Black Tubos and the Verocu Tubos are suppose to be released in November....Pete's just got it going on right now.PuroFreak:I'm just waiting for Oct. 29th!!!

So I was just reading through Robb Report (my favorite 'dreaming' magazine), and I came upon an event in November at the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco:
16th Annual Single Malt & Scotch Whiskey Extravaganza
Wednesday, November 18
Intercontinental San Francisco
Over 100 Rare and Unique Single Malt and Scotch Whiskeys
Dinner Buffet
Cigars from Saint Luis Rey, Playboy, and Romeo y Julieta.
Tickets are $130, but special rates for groups of 8 or more (If you have a few friends, I might have me and 1 other.)
Jackets preferred.
www.SingleMaltExtravaganza.com
Any of the SF guys interested? Rad? EDIT: Just looked at the site and found out that they won't be actually allowing smoking at the event. Cigars are to be taken home.¨The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea¨ - Isak Dinesen
