I have cigar social to attend

[Cigarer]

The local bar is the main hub in my town, well a handful of people are cigar smokers there, and my friend Danny suggested a cigar social once a month in the good weather months. We plan on doing one this Saturday, he came up with a cigar pass idea and talked to the owner about whiskey specials. Probably get about a dozen or so people to show up for the first one.

Neither him or I have ever tried to host anything like this before. We have a decent patio out front, weather looks nice, small cult following. Is there something small I could do to make this a more fun activity? Maybe like a short trivia for a sampler out of my humidor or something? Or should I just let it ride and see what happens?

Sounds like a Kick Ass idea! Chilling with fellow cigar smokers and shooting the shit always turns out well. Personally I’d hold off on any prizes or whatever till ya get a feel for how things turn out. If all goes well then heck yeah, on the next get together try mixing it up a bit!

I agree with Joe. Let the 1st one ride out and see where it goes. Get a feel for the crowd.

While I also agree it makes sense to wait and see, if by chance no "next time" ever materializes, you may end up saying, "Gee, if only I had done that contest or raffle. We might have kept this thing going!" And of the two, I'd lean toward a free raffle. Easier to do and everybody likes 'em.

Plus, it'll give you a chance to be the focus for a short time, and take care of business, ie; thank all attendees and the host, and make it known this would be nice as a regular thing. Plus, you can ask for input on a group name. Gotta have a name!

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Sounds like fun Kyle. Personally I'd give away a fiver or a couple of 3 packs out of my own stash, just drawn from a hat or something.
But I've recently been told that I have a reputation that precedes me so I may not be the best one to answer this question.
Hope it goes well and it's something you can carry on. Smoking with a good group is great.

Good ideas. Hope it'll became a regular event.

Great idea! Maybe "Cigar Movie" trivia and hand out a stick or two. Let us know how it turns out!!

Sounds like a lot of fun. I agree with doing a raffle or two. Maybe a draw from a deck of cards with the highest and lowest cards win. 5'er for highest and a 3 pack for lowest. Draw an 8 and get a free drink of choice?

Isn't everyone who smokes a cigar in a movie from Jersey ?
