That would be effin awesome.

PP Probably be $25-$30.

HERF package #1 arrived today. 1 box each of Cohiba XV, Punch Grand Puro, Partagas Spanish Rosado and Macadoodle.

I am expecting more soon.

Doc this sounds great.

The possibilities of making this sound good also, not too far away I have not been to NYC in awhile and I don't think I am busy.

I'll have to check out my schedule and and try and make the trip, maybe see if anyone from around the Boston area is going .

Doc, a few ???? is parking near by, can you smoke cigars there . when do you need a final commitment.

Neighborhood is good, on street parking available.

It is being held in a Cigar Lounge so there better be smoking allowed or the place will be raided.

Several good places to eat in the area but we will be getting food, wither pizza or maybe some hot trays depending on the number of people and the amount of money we would have to lay out.

Oh man oh man.

Just got an e-mail from Ernesto Padilla. Somebody from Padilla will be attending the NYC sit-down. I've got to call their rep on Tuesday to work out the details. I'll post it when I know it.

That's great news Ernesto. Thanks.

I was also just informed that cigars will be there from at least 7 different companies making it at least 10 or more boxes of cigars.

I hope to see you all there

Doc, how about sharing the list so I can start dreaming now.

Bad news guys. Just got an e-mail from the Padilla rep. He can't make it to the herf. Sorry about this one.

what's the head count on this?

I don't think there is a head count. It's posted on a couple of boards. Doc said the place can fit 25-30 in the basement lounge and another 15-20 upstairs.

10 Boxes of cigars so far -
4 from Altadis
4 from General Cigar
2 from CAO

It's gonna be sweet.
