The 2nd Annual Cigar Bum Orgy held at CIGARfest - will you be there?

[projectsunfire]

To last years attendees...did you bring your own cigars to smoke at CI or did you purchase them all in the store?

Kris, last year I know Brent, Collin and myself brought way too many of our own. We bought and smoked a lot there. But as mentioned above, CI is cool with you bringing in your own. We took our own travel humidors everyday.

Just remember guys, if you happen to be flying with a travel Humidor, make sure it has a pressure valve on it or it will be extremely hard to open and you may end up damaging your sticks inside trying to pry it open. I saw somewhere where a guy took a wide mouthed Nalgene bottle and threw a boveda in it. Not a bad idea! I'm trying to decide if I want to bring any or not. Trying to pack as lightly so I do carry on only. Although, I guess I could fill a laptop bag with cigars as they don't count towards your allotment.

Not sure if it's worth it, but when I fly for travel, I usually just mail myself cigars/cutters/lighters a day or two ahead of time so it arrives the same day I do. No worries about the travel on my end!

and yeah, you can bring your own smokes, I brought 1 or 2 coolers last time, will probably do it again

as far as "are they rested"... mine are. I doubt the store's are. But then again, by day 2 or 3 (or late into day 1) you may be so burned out that you can't taste the difference anyway.

Remember, start with your best and work your way down (or go mild to strong)

I can see it now...Sean rolls in with a 100qt coolidor LOL

Never saw a travel humidor with a pressure valve. I'm most likely driving up so I will probably have a cooler filled up in the back of the GTI!

I was thinking the same thing about Sean. Rolls in, pulls out a stick and kicks back with his feet up on the cooler !


On a side note - is anyone else here going to seriously disappointed if Kris doesn't look exactly like his avatar, or just me ?

Xikar makes a number of them. They basically look like Xikar branded Pelican cases.

Best choice if you're bringing exploding cigars.

Just six weeks to go boys! I'm going to have to snag a barf bag or two from my flight in. Getting back in Herf shape is highly questionable. I don't think I'll complain about that to my wife though. After actually having the child, complaining to her about my inability to smoke 5-7 cigars in a day may not be smart.
