Penna stogey- if you like beer you have to check out some of the places on the beer trail here! We have a bunch of wineries also!

Thanks for a little insider tip, yeah I figured they were going for quantity then quality at the price point. Either way, wouldn't mind having those, and does sound like a blast. I'm going to try and make it out, will knew for sure once the date gets closer.

Same here - will know when summer finally gets here !

Yes Kyle, beer is my friend....Once spring shows up and watching Tony at the Masters, then we can plan accordingly.....

Went over to check out the new lounge at Smokin' Bear today and wound up having a cigar with one of the owners of Jeneff cigars. I guess it's an older brand that's been sold a few times and this guy is one of the new owners. Made in a factory run by a former Fuente factory employee and fairly regional - he said NY and Pa was his basic sales region.

Anyways - he was one of the manufacturers at Buffalo Cigarfest last year and said it was a great time and we need to go. Music and food were both awesome and patrons could talk with manufacturers and reps. You get your cigars with your ticket but there are also cigars available if you want to buy.
Just thought I'd pass it along - sounds like a good time and I've got it on my calendar.

And FWIW - he went on to tell me he's friends with Jose Blanco and that he is coming for a blending session at Buffalo Cigars in the next few months. He highly recommended it as he said the knowledge you get out of it is fantastic. He claims he's going to try and set up a private one down at Smokin' Bear but that could be more b/s and bragging than reality. Doubt you guys would want to make the drive for something like that - just passing along the info as it was interesting.

Awesome! I suppose I'll have to have a real talk with the gf about coming out cause this keeps sounding better and better... Side note, you just be pretty excited to have a lounge getting put in there

I am, but it's about a 45 min drive and not just down the street. They close at 7 so weeknights after work are pretty much out but maybe once in a while on the weekend in the winter months I can get over to have one.
Sounds good on buttering up the gf - get to it !

Really happy for TONY, he has somewhere to hang out 10 months a year. While the courses are being used for ski runs.

Actually my regular course is a major hub in the maze of snowmobile trails in this area Alan. It's typical to see a dozen trailers in the parking lot where people drive in from Buffalo or wherever there isn't snow to drop and go. About 4 or 5 trails all connect right there and the local snowmobile club operates out of there in the winter. We're a 4 season club - even have a bowling alley !

We're a month away gents - who is planning on attending ? Should I be getting a ticket or what ?

Tickets say $129 plus $21.35 in EventBrite fees but I saw a post that said discount code BC20 may take off $20 if it still works.

What say you ?

@Hardheaded @restomod you see that Nice Ash in Fairport is having one next Thursday ? I cannot make it as I'll either be driving to Virginia or playing in a golf tournament (yeah I know, long story) but here's the link in case you boys are interested.

I'm probably out for the buffalo deal, it's scheduled to be our Ryder cup between to golf courses that day.

I did see the Nice Ash deal but am out of town. I can't catch a break.

I'm going to try to attend. It would be great to meet some of you in person.
