Say what now! It says second annual for 2018 so last year was the first, can't believe I never knew about it last year though. Thanks for pointing it out, I put it on my calendar to see if I'm available come Sep. Maybe a good place to get all us NY bums together.

Yeah no doubt, went to google cigar fest for CI and this popped. I'm going to try and make it, sounds pretty fun

I did see it last year but they didn't announce it this early - was only about a month or two before. I was thinking of going but had something else going on -
probably a golf tourney or something silly like that. I'd be up for going this year - especially if you Bums are headed over.

I'd say don't expect too much from the cigars. This is a shop that is all about the once in a while smoker and they mostly carry only the big name stuff. Think Rocky Patel, CAO, Camacho, Brickhouse, Macanudo. They do not have boutique or small batch stuff - no Crowned Heads, maybe 1 Tatuaje, no Liga or Opus.

Went over to check out the new lounge at Smokin' Bear today and wound up having a cigar with one of the owners of Jeneff cigars. I guess it's an older brand that's been sold a few times and this guy is one of the new owners. Made in a factory run by a former Fuente factory employee and fairly regional - he said NY and Pa was his basic sales region.

Anyways - he was one of the manufacturers at Buffalo Cigarfest last year and said it was a great time and we need to go. Music and food were both awesome and patrons could talk with manufacturers and reps. You get your cigars with your ticket but there are also cigars available if you want to buy.
Just thought I'd pass it along - sounds like a good time and I've got it on my calendar.

And FWIW - he went on to tell me he's friends with Jose Blanco and that he is coming for a blending session at Buffalo Cigars in the next few months. He highly recommended it as he said the knowledge you get out of it is fantastic. He claims he's going to try and set up a private one down at Smokin' Bear but that could be more b/s and bragging than reality. Doubt you guys would want to make the drive for something like that - just passing along the info as it was interesting.

That's pretty cool, hopefully I get up that way to check it out! And keep us updated on the details.

Still hit or miss right now with the snow, a few inches supposed to drop this week but then 40's this weekend so I hope that the last of it. Bitch about NY is we use salt so even if the snow is gone I don't take my classic out until the spring rains have really washed the roads down. That sh*t eats up metal faster than anything and especially loves to munch on chrome.

Penna stogey- if you like beer you have to check out some of the places on the beer trail here! We have a bunch of wineries also!

Thanks for a little insider tip, yeah I figured they were going for quantity then quality at the price point. Either way, wouldn't mind having those, and does sound like a blast. I'm going to try and make it out, will knew for sure once the date gets closer.
