Cigarfest was about as I expected.
That shop doesn't carry alot of the stuff you or I might like but does have a ton of General and the cigars in the bag were ok but not a great selection.
Here's what I got:
Nat Sherman Metropolitan Connecticut Anglers
H Upmann Banker Annuity
CAO Flathead Steel Horse Apehanger
La Palina Classic Connecticut Churchill
Perdomo Factory Tour Blend Sun Grown Churchill
Hiram & Solomon The Veiled Prophet Grand Monarch
Counsellor Lonsdale
Cigar Obsession Final Third Robusto
Psyko Seven Robusto
Oro Estrella Toro
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Toro
JM's Dominican Toro Connecticut
Exactus Clasico Torpedo
and an Aging Room Quattro Concerto, a custom roll (which wasn't bad) and a Kafie San Andres that I smoked at the event.
Food and music were good and I met up with a few BOTL's from another forum so that was cool to sit and smoke with them all day.
@Ryan137 and I missed meeting up, but afterwards we discovered we were pretty close to bumping into each other and just didn't know it :banghead:
The reps were all in one building and they would tell you about their cigars but the shop had a little store area set up to sell cigars at shop prices with NY taxes so the deals weren't anything special. 10% off a box or something along those lines.
I'd go again if it was a chance to meet up with some of you fine folk, but if it were just me going to smoke I'd pass.
Glad I got the $50 off my ticket price - others weren't so lucky.
Tony, I was at a local herf Saturday and spent about 4 hours visiting with zippogeek ((Jason) and Redneck Toy (Robert). Both awesome folks. Did you get a pic from Jason?Quote:

I had the opportunity to try the original blend when they first started and it was OK, then had a production one a year later and was not impressed at all. Supposedly the new batch is supposed to be good, but I haven't had the chance to try it.Quote:
