Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

At the Epic2 Herf in Ocala, FL. I raffled off an ALL EXPENSE PAID trip to the Rocky Patel Factory in Honduras. Paul (CBI_2) was the lucky winner. :banger

I would like to extend the invitation to my fellow BOTL/SOTL here on CA (with a minimum of 300 posts). It would be my pleasure to see inmates get to participate in this wonderful experience. :tu

How will this work?

I will start a sign up list for 13 inmates to go on the trip. To make it fair, I will pull 13 names (assuming more than 13 sign up) random by sign up #. There will also be assigned 3 reserve slots in case someone has to drop out. The drawing for the trip will be on Monday 2/8/2010 so inmates have plenty of time to plan the trip.

Cost?

Plane ticket only!!!!! We will take care of room&board and food for the entire trip as you will be put up at our home near the factory. Food is cooked onsite or catered in.


Date of Trip: 4/21/2010 through 4/24/2010

Must haves:
Must have a valid passport
Must be able to smoke a ton of cigars
Must have the desire to blend your own cigar (you will get to on the tour)
Must have a good camera to post pictures from the trip
Must have a BLAST!

What's the catch? Anyone that signs up to take the trip (going or not) must make a 5 cigar donation to the troops! While we get to enjoy everyday luxuries and special luxuries, our Troops are keeping us free to do so.

PM me with any questions and for address to send donations for sign up.

My thank you to ALL my fellow Inmates! :tu

Edit: crap nm just double checked dates and cant. Props to Jamie however for super trip!

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Sorry you can't make it! It's a good one. :tu

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

A cigar shop by me has the same trip planned on 2 different weeks in March. Any one near St. Louis looking to go I cant give you the info. All you have to do is cover the air fare.

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Same here with the air fare Allen. I'm setting this trip up so CA inmates can go together. :tu

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Oh for sure! Sign Up! :banger

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

How long does it take to get a Passport???:confused:

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Several weeks. around 5-6 if I remember correctly. You can, however pay a fee for it to be "expedited" and recieve it in 2-3 weeks I think.

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Took me and my wife about 2 weeks last year about this time. Didn't use the rush option or anything. If you ordered it in the next week you should have it no problem. :tu

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Again wish I could. I just don't have the time off or the funds right now. To those who are going, keep an eye on Paul would ya :D

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

My donation has been sent and I have the passport application from the post office right here. Just have to get pictures.

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

bump for a cool idea...can't make it work for me though!

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

damn....tempting....gotta check dates...

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

I would love to take this trip if I had the $ for the ticket. This is a great offer. :tu

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

I think I am gonna try to go but do not want to sign up until I get clearance from my two bosses: Kate and the USAF.

I would love to go and I will be back from my deployment...sweet deal!

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

New day BUMP!

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

cant afford it, but it would be an awesome trip, even for someone who doesn't care much about RP (like me)

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Bump for the New Day!

11 more sign ups need to make a full trip.

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Anyone need a kidney? :r

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

We could pawn it until you get back and make some money back.

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

I took some time to price some tickets. Remember, the only cost is air fare and EVERYTHING else is covered.

Average cost is $500.00 for air fare

New Day Bump!

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Man that sounds like an amazing opportunity! I would LOVE to go, that would be such a cool part of the world to photograph and experience the factory. I plenty of time off just no funds.

Maybe I can sell some junk before this fills up!

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Got my passport pics and off to the PO tomorrow to get the paperwork done. I hope 2 1/2 months is long enough to get it.

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Only takes 6 weeks!

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Doesn't look like this trip is filling up anytime soon. If we don't get the minimum, there won't be a trip. :td

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

:(:(:(:(

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

What is the minimum?

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

The minimum is 15 people. Leaving us at 9 more needed to make a full trip. I have seen smaller trips but it is unlikely for the trip to happen with less than 12 because there are so many people that want to go.

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

Bumo.

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
 

We will get it filled Mario! No worries! :tu

Re: Rocky Patel Facotry Trip for CA
