Re: CigarFest
2 hours- 5-7AM my wife on the phone and I'm on the computer- lots of times I was on the site- but nothing in the cart- CI really muffed this one up- now that I see the amount of tickets they're selling, I really don't think I want to go- too many people pushing and shoving!

Re: CigarFest
For people who went to previous cigarFest.
What was your experience? Are the giveaway items worth it or bunch of crabs? Can you find good deal on cigars, or all advertisements? Thanks, |

They had the same problem last year with the tickets and the site acting up. I had tickets in my cart and went to pay for them, and poof the server went down and I lost my cart. By the time I got back to ordering tickets, they were gone. Was able to get tickets on the auction. As soon as I saw they were doing the same thing this year with the sales and adding 500 more people I decided not to even mess with it. |

Re: CigarFest
Wow $140-170 a ticket and that much trouble to go through? I'd rather spend that on a nice bottle of booze to split amongst friends with my own smokes

Re: CigarFest
I have to say, I've been going to Cigarfest for the past 3 years and I've always had a great time. Is it perfect? NO but, Getting away for a weekend every year with a few of my buddies, a couple bottles of Good Rum and Great Cigars is priceless.

Re: CigarFest
I've gone to the Famous Smoke version a couple times and had a blast. It's outdoors under a tent, 3-400 (not thousand) people, some decent BBQ, great raffles, and the owners are very nice.
This is the first time I'll be going to Cigar Fest. My buddy was trying to buy 4 VIH tickets and 4 of the shirts and managed to get the tickets, but only 2 shirts. My other buddy got completely shut out. I am a little disturbed about the number of people and the fact that it is indoors. I get a headache hanging in at a card game with a couple cigars going and little ventilation. I really can't imaging what 3000 cigars going at once will do to that place. Here's to hoping its a good time, or I'll be back in Easton next year at the Famous Smoke event. |

Good bottle of Irish Whiskey $30 8 Prime Ribeyes (I can get em for $14/lb. Not aged, but I can do that myself). $150 8 Anjeos $88 (Actually I have more that 8 on hand, plus a couple boxes of Padron 1926.) Total is $268 --- Less than the price of 2 tickets for a great afternoon with your best buds. $100 for a ticket might be worth a shot, but $170??? Not on your life. |

And when I mentioned the great Cigars in my above post, I wasn't talking about the Cigars they give you. Those are Good to OK. If your going to Cigarfest just for the Swag you'll be disapointed. BigRon, When did you go to Cigarfest? |

Re: CigarFest
I had some of the same problems as others have posted.....website would not work, phone lines busy...finally broke through by phone at about 5:45 am. and landed my VIH ticket. Good thing cause I was about to say to hell with this sh**. Since this is not a new event I can't understand why the process is not smoother.
Anyway....this will be my first so I am going to relax and enjoy just hanging out smoking, drinking, and fellowshiping....not gonna let the crowds ruin my weekend. Next up....The Big Smoke in Vegas in November (well hopefully). :dr |
Re: CigarFest
I've only been to one cigarfest, that was 2007 I think.
I had a great time with friends, but by then I was mostly smoking CCs so i just wasn't that interested in the cigars. Even if I was a lot of the hand outs were pretty low quality bundle affairs. And they had 3000 people smoking in a room that wasn't meant to handle 3000 people smoking which was tough to breathe in let alone smoke. They also like 8 chairs for 3000 people. One of the worst experiences I've ever seen tho again I had fun because of the company. I also hate this money grubbing bullshit ass auction off tickets approach. I'd never attend another one based on that. |
