Yeah beverages of your own is okay, but not liquor last time I checked. Don't know if they've changed that policy over the years.
I'm bringing some of my own sticks I'll pick up a few, but will likely smoke my own.

Pretty much, yeah. My local B&M, for example, keeps the Rh in their humidors too high out of necessity (especially this Winter). So, by bringing your own, you're pretty much guaranteed that the stick will smoke well. If I spent $20 on a couple of cigars that I had to keep relighting or had a tight draw, I'd be annoyed. But if I spent $20 on those same two sticks and then take them home to rest in my humidor that I know is properly humidified, then I can smoke them in a month or two without concern.

Two things, not all B&Ms are the greatest at keeping their numbers in point, so I try to let them rest a little before smoking, not possible all the time but I try.
Second, I have better sticks that they don't carry that if I'm meeting up with BOTL I'd like to smoke better stuff. Herfs don't happen often and I rather smoke an opus than some standard stick I can smoke at home alone.
Just my take on it, but I always but from the B&M regardless.
Do it!!!! But just an FYI they do have 9s and T52s.
Yeah, a bunch of us up here in random NW burbs. I grew up in Crystal Lake... moved out to Island a few years ago by way of a few years in Chicago/Norridge.
Good tips on the sticks. I think i'll buy a couple there... but smoke what I've been saving all winter.
Looking forward to meeting you all. Just too bad it doesn't look like we'll be able to sip some whiskey. The pics from the website show a lot of Red Solo cups. I wonder though if their policy is much like state campgrounds in Kentucky. The rule is that you can't have alcohol... but they don't exactly go looking for it.

I left a message but haven't heard back yet. They open in about 5 minutes and I'll call them ASAP
Thanks! I was literally just dialing them.
I'll be bringing a couple of full bodied gut-kickers, so I'll also bring a bottle of Coke. It's *possible* that something might slip in there before I leave the house.
So far, I am counting: Four Kicks Fan, dscl, 3/5King, Frozen Toews, Jdog, Dizzy, myself and (I think) sofc for a total of 8.
MWLable, are you swinging down from Milwaukee?

Joevikes is on the list too, he hasn't posted but will be there.
WTF?!?!Don't forget to bomb rdomfoto for organizing
Maybe if I had actually "organized" something as opposed to simply putting out a call to see if people wanted to get together on Friday for a smoke...
Awesome!
