Potential upgrades (price added to $160 general admission ticket):
+$40--Very Important Herfer (2 hours early entry)
+90--CigarNut (4 hour early entry, breakfast, drink special, added prize potential)
+55--Shirt (12 cigar Oliva Sampler, Lotus Lighter, punch cutter, bottle opener, guillotine cutter, ice mold)
+25--Hat (10 cigar RP sampler)
+40--RP & AB Event Upgrade (early entry, free samples of yeungling and glenfiddich, 8 RP & AB cigar sampler, pint glass, rocks glass, desk valet)

Last year I enjoyed Friday way more. Its the same number of tickets being sold for each day but the overall vibe of the crowd was calmer.
My thoughts on upgrades this year.
VIH - eh its ok but I did not upgrade.
NUT- no thanks, but I am cheap
Shirt- last year I was happy with it. This year I am passing, if you like those particular Oliva then I think it worth it but to me if it aint a V it aint for me.
Hat - I like Rockys so I think it is a good deal.
RP AB Event - I am on the fence. They ran a similar free event last year but less swag. Last year it was kinda like a panel from an convention they sat a table in front and talked/fielded questions. Not sure if it will be the same this year or not.
