I'm signed up for a L'AT virtual event with KC Johnson, Dan Welsh and Pete Johnson today at 5PM PST. IDK if we'll even be able to interact or if it it'll be more of a presentation.

Submit any questions you want answered and I'll see if I can get them in.

I also need an alternate if I cant make it due to work.

There are supposed to be some promos and event only sticks as part of the show.

Ask if they're planning B&M events. Read about the meat-something tour a few years back. Sounded cool.

Wuss :biglaugh:The whole thing was a mess (for me) - I was really hoping Matt or Kevin or YOU would take the reigns because I had too much work to do. Then my computer crashed and I lost my pivot table [emoji854], so I said screw it and joined the zoom.

I was expecting more of a presentation or a TED talk, but what I got was essentially one of our Vherfs except with Pete on there and people asking him some questions. The rest was BSing and messing around.

I missed a third of it due to work calls and just bowed out when it dwindled down to people that were Pete groupies then he knew on a first name basis and toured the factory, etc.

I'm not a big celebrity worship kinda guy, so that angle wasn't really there for me. Honestly Pete didn't act like that at all, but some of those guys would have had his baby. I did like industry discussion stuff.

Best one that I was on was with Noel Rojas. He was just having a cigar with the boys. Yes some tech talk but alot of just b/s about anything and everything. He doesn't quite have the groupies Pete does though.

Not sure if u meant me or the other Kevin, but I work 2nd shift (i have some downtime, thats why i can be active on here haha), so would’ve been a no-go for me. Appreciate that u would consider me as a representative (again, if u meant me…)

Also, I gotta get on a VHerf with u guys first! Im pretty damn shy but u guys have me coming out of my shell a bit.

Pretty damn cool of Pete tho- shows he really does care and is a decent guy

Let me know if you guys can see this... "active price" is per stick price on almost all items except for stuff like monster mash thats only sold as set. Looks like the BUM forum allows .zip files, so I gave it a shot.

Yes, the B&M is UpDown in Chicago, but the website hasn't been updated in a long while and this order only goes through via a special email address - see list for pricing.


I intend to shoot an order out sometime tomorrow (I've got a late night ahead of me). I'm sure we can stir up some combined buying power and splits. No points, referrals, or any crap like that go my way.
I haven't even had time to look at them all in detail myself or vet the pricing - I was shocked at how long it was though. Feel free to post thoughts, I'll try to keep this window open in the background.

Works for me! Thanks for sharing man. Just to clarify, do they need to be purchased in the Qty listed (boxes, 5-packs) or can they be singles?

I just got in the cigar lounge when he was almost done. He seemed like a nice guy we spoke for a little bit, got a picture with him and parted ways. Saw him again in passing we recognized each other and kept it moving. Wish I had the tattoo idea then [emoji23]

Might be an Android problem, but the zip file doesn't do anything when touched. Will login on the brower tomorrow and hopefully have my list put together before you order.

Anyone had the P-Miami and thoughts on them? Think these are short filler or whatever from the Brown labels - $8 is a bit steep if so.

Also, what's your thoughts/ recommendations on:
-Cojonu
-Negociant
-7th - are these a totally separate line from the RE and Miami?
-L'At Cote vs Cote La Tache

Ok years ago I attended a big cigar event down in Houston. I won a box of Tat a uno. I smoked 1 a year each year on anniversary of that trip. Great cigar but they ate big A should clue you in but it took me a few years. I think they are a 3hr plus cigar. They were $12 cigars back then last I saw they were $18 so to see them at $24 is kinda WOW.

also side note only cigar to make me sick. The N got too me once.

Also the Rc have always had a lot of buzz if I remember these were basically rolled to mimic cuban flavors. I have 1 have not smoked yet

Is the Bride of Mardi Gras (BMG) the event pack cigar you get with every $40 spent?

So far, I'm thinking a single of each, but will confirm order later:

BMG (if not the event cigar)
Fausto Avion 12
L'At 46
L'At 52 SS
Surrogates AKC
7th CE
7th Natural
7th Broadleaf
Broadleaf Regios
Cojonu 2003 Serie L
P-3 Miami
P-3 Miami Rosado Claro

Need to add it all up to see where I am with the free sticks. Will add another if it means another freebie.

Think 10 of these are regular production and good for the 20% off.

Might do a Pumpkin/CE split, but really only want one of each.

Sweet- i sent him an order of 5, but probably adding a 6th so we should definitely hit the 20 mark and be able to buy the pumpkin/CE 5er!

I have smoked several cojonu at least 1 or 2 from each year and always enjoyed them. Also by looking at this list a bit surprised they are not more expensive

I have had a few p's as well they are ok

Miscommunication here... L'at event cigar referenced on page 2 is literally a L'at event only cigar. I'll post a pic on Craptalk in a bit.
