Who do you want meet within the cigar industry?

[CWS]

:rofl:

I'd like to meet the Fuentes, I hear they are very nice people

You have to make a big smoke Tom. They are really great people and hang around afterwards to mix and smoke with you and I. I donate to the Cigar Family Charity and Carlitos always makes a point to send a personal thank you and to make me feel like an old personal friend whenever our paths cross even though there is no way he could remeber evryone.

The Fuentes and Don Alejandro Robaina. What a Herf that would be.

 

[jrohrer]

I wouldn't wanna meet Fidel..., and he quit smoking cigars in the 80's.

I don't trust people who've given up cigars. :grin:

which means he's probably got one hell of a humi filled with some pretty damned well aged sticks!!!:blob: :rofl:

I'd like to meet the person in charge of Habanos S.A. and Cubatabaco in Cuba. To tour all the rolling facilities, visit the tobacco fields to smell the plants and earth, smoke fresh rolled cigars, drink Cuban rum, listen to local music. Ahhhh what a dream come true that would be.

Also to kick back and smoke cigars with Adriano Martinez Ruis, who was a major consultant to write the MRN book.

Steve I think one of the people you want to meet is Oscar Basulto Torres.

Cool breeze, now if I could only get my business card to him to set it up.

 

[vperlman]

Just my everyday fellow BOTL's and SOTL's. I don't feel any desire to meet people who run companies that make cigars that I happen to like. :yes:

 

[tubaman]

Don Alejandro Robaina

Oh yes!!!!!!!

 

[cfheater]

I would like to meet the Fuentes or Rocky Patel. I haven't done the trip but from what I have heard Rocky Patel does a great job on his farm. I heard that he goes way out of his way to make you feel lke your opinion matters and that if you don't like his cigars he wants to know why. I know someone who went to his farm and loved it. He said that Rocky spends a ton of time with the group explaining everything.

Another good choice!

Again I have to agree with Chuck, while we were talking it was like we were old friend, so I to have some loyaity to the Family...

 

[CWS]

Every year the cigar family has a trip to the Domican to tour the factory. I would really love to do this some day.

 

[RX2010]

man... I would love to do that... I wonder how outrageously expensive it is..

 

[knife]

Robaina and Lew Rothman!

 

[goin' fer smoke]

I would like to meet Rocky Patel...

Would like to meet Rocky also, especially after the article in Smoke mag...

And I know this one will draw groans.. but Jonathan Drew.. just because of the originality of his cigars... how he came about with the different essences of his infused cigars... genius AND very original...

 

[AZsteelman]

Well, I already met the two folks in the cigar world I wanted to meet...it's all downhill from here.


CWS and Smokem94 - a couple of the best!

How does one go about getting information about this?'
Sounds pretty cool and I would like to know more.


TYLER

 

[CWS]

They post it on the CigarFamily website or they used to. It was a first come first served deal. Not cheap as I remember but it sounded great.

 

[caudio51]

The CF trip does sound great. It's on the list of things I would like to do.
