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

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?
