Honest question, like I said I've never been to an event, just a lot of herfing.

Yes there are awesome deals. We've picked up a box of Dirty Rats, Feral Pigs, UF-13s, two cofins of A's, two free hats, two free T's and two Flying Pig cutters. Haven't rolled the dice yet nor the raffle. Why bring sticks? It's a community that is interested in all sorts of cigars and one person might like Ligas but not love them. They are here for the event and decide to pick up a box due to the deal. Guys go around and talk with each other about the sticks they have that I might want more than Ligas. A guy had 3 God of Fires which are hard to come by here and I can get UF- 13's anytime which he would rather have vs. The God of Fire hence we made a trade.
The boxes are cheaper but you have to buy 20 total sticks to get the A coffins so the host is losing no money at all as the Unicos are provided by Drew Estate then the B&Ms make a ton of cash on the policy you have to reach 20 for the As so that's selling 8 No9s or T52s that they would not have otherwise. 8 sticks times 60 people is 480 cigars that normally would not have been sold.
Guys also have been swapping things like HTF Tats for HTF Viaje, the Daisy Cutter I believe. So maybe other guys around the country don't do it but we do in the Twin Cities events and as well as at B&Ms on any given day.
