2015 Habanapalooza Event in Albany NY

[Trackmyer]

It's that time of year again.

Each year Hanana Premium Cigar Shop hosts this event in Albany, NY. If you live in or near NY and haven't gone, you should really try it at least once.

Each year only 300 tickets sold, so they go fast.

Ticket sales went live at 10am this morning and we already purchased ours.

20 free sticks from different Reps., swagbag with Tshirt, cutter, matches, etc. Contests, Drawings, Tons of food including a whole Pig Roast. Chris's coffee is usually onsite with an espresso machine making drinks. In the past the Bud Light girls were there handing out the beer. Whiskey reps handing out their hooch. All covered with your entry ticket. So eat, drink, smoke and be merry.

I will be there with a group of buddies, and Im looking forward to meeting any brothers from here that may go.



Check out the website, you can see photos from past years as well.

I JUST SAW THIS!

I'm sitting here smoking on my porch and I'm right around the damn corner from this!

Well, I guess there is always next year...

This was my first event. It was semi lame. Would have been better if we went with a larger crowd. The liquor license was denied due to a stabbing that occurred about a month ago at a concert at the same venue.
The vendors didn't want to talk, the food was put away by 8pm, and the cigars were pretty ordinary.
All things that I should have expected perhaps, but it was still a decent price tag.
They claim next year will be HUGE (NY HUUUUUUUUGE… sorry for the terrible upstate Fuccillo reference) since it's the shop's 20th anniversary. I'll probably give it another go.

Lol at the Billy quote...

I forgot about the fight/stabbing that happened there.

What cigars did they have?

Neat. Glad I forgot about it this year. Next year, I will be sure to put it on my calendar. Decent cigar grab too.
