Didn't realize it was in Pocono. Definitely won't be making it this year since that is an 11 hour drive for me now.

3.5 hours away (by car)...I'm considering it!

I'm from Cali, but I would be willing to make it if there's some place to lay my head for a couple nights. :-)

You can book a room at the resort. They have special rates for those who attend C-fest. If I remember correctly the lodge has rooms for under $100 a night.

Wow, thats not far from me. I may have to take the trip. Although, I consider Musicfest in Bethlehem to be CI's best "party".

This sounds really cool. Maybe I can meet some of you guys there. Any golfers?

rharris · 01-28-2009, 03:57 PM

My wife and I are going again this year.4th time for us.Another couple from my work is also planning on going. Its always a good time!

Kreth · 01-28-2009, 05:25 PM

I wouldn't mind going down Friday morning, playing some golf and checking out the pre-Fest events. Do you normally stay right at the resort, Rich?

rharris · 01-28-2009, 06:02 PM

We usually stay at the Comfort Inn just down the road a few miles.Its a pretty nice place,clean and has a swimming pool.We might go down friday as well.

Six of us are going this year. Already have rooms reserved. This will be the 4th year for me. Always have a good time.

We are going up Thursday to check in at the resort. We will be going to any events at CI and also heading over to Famous which is a ten minutes away from the CI Superstore.

Was it expensive to stay at the resort?

Looks like $170/night and up, but I think you get a discount code when you register for Cigar Fest. You can book online for the resort here.

ScottieM · 01-30-2009, 07:49 PM

They've increased the amount of Tickets to 2500 which is up 500 from the last 2 yrs and a 1000 more than the fest in 06. That place was already overcrowded and they want to stuff another 500 in there?

hotreds · 01-30-2009, 07:54 PM

No- one of these years I'd like to. What I really want to attend is the Shack Herf!

I'd cancel those rooms unless money is no object. They usually have a special discount code for Cigarfest attendee's but don't give it out until the Tickets go on sale.

Yeah, it looks as if they have discount rates as low as $126/night.

Just tried to book one.

Online booking says there are no rooms available that weekend

Guess I will buy my tickets online monday morning and call once I do.

Would rather stay there than travel

Makes drinking a lot more fun.

Looks like the prices went up quite a bit from the past two years I've gone. I guess they want us to help pay for that big Water Park they built last yr.
