The 1st Annual Cigar Bum Cigar Orgy held at CIGARfest - will you be there?

Ok so which day would most recommend or plan to attend the actual event? Friday or Saturday? You have to select one during pre-registration. Also are the upgrades worth it?

Potential upgrades (price added to $160 general admission ticket):
+$40--Very Important Herfer (2 hours early entry)
+90--CigarNut (4 hour early entry, breakfast, drink special, added prize potential)
+55--Shirt (12 cigar Oliva Sampler, Lotus Lighter, punch cutter, bottle opener, guillotine cutter, ice mold)
+25--Hat (10 cigar RP sampler)
+40--RP & AB Event Upgrade (early entry, free samples of yeungling and glenfiddich, 8 RP & AB cigar sampler, pint glass, rocks glass, desk valet)

Last year I enjoyed Friday way more. Its the same number of tickets being sold for each day but the overall vibe of the crowd was calmer.
My thoughts on upgrades this year.
VIH - eh its ok but I did not upgrade.
NUT- no thanks, but I am cheap
Shirt- last year I was happy with it. This year I am passing, if you like those particular Oliva then I think it worth it but to me if it aint a V it aint for me.
Hat - I like Rockys so I think it is a good deal.
RP AB Event - I am on the fence. They ran a similar free event last year but less swag. Last year it was kinda like a panel from an convention they sat a table in front and talked/fielded questions. Not sure if it will be the same this year or not.

I was leaning towards Friday with the additional RP event upgrade as my only upgrade. I like some rockies and free yeungling is always a nice thing. I think I would do the event over the hat since the sampler is likely similar.

Well @DogRockets , the local golf courses do not allow gurkhas to be smoked and they do not have icebergs for watering down blantons. almost all golf courses in this area only allow Ligas and Viva and only serve wellers on the 19th hole so best luck lol

I'm not going to go to the actual CIGARfest itself, I'm just going to be hanging around the town and going to the free events at the CI stores themselves
