So did you preregister for Cfest YellowStar?

No, might start a kickstarter campaign for some tickets - would be like a 'make-a-wish' thing to see all you fine gents in person!

Just FYI, try to avoid Friday, that's LTG's day.  Where is that post-whoring bastige, anyway?

I'm sure everyone here would recommend that I buy Tuesday tickets and GFM in the store by myself

Hanging out in the Superstore or Hamburg is not a bad thing.

I've actually always wanted to go and check those stores out - never been to a big cigar shop from one of the giant companies: Holts, CI/Ccom, Smoke Inn, Corona Cigar, etc.

Only 'big' one I've ever been to was the Cuban Crafters store in Daytona.  Not as impressive as I thought it'd be, though it wasn't their main warehouse.  That said, if I could pick one to visit I think I'd go with Tampa Humidor.

Ahh, forgot about them too.  Tampa Humidor, Atlantic, OVTC is pretty decent I hear if I'm ever out that way.

Corona is a mighty nice joing but so is Tampa Humidor.  Can't speak for the others.

Ah, I've actually been to an OVTC location before.  Huge selection but incredibly small smoking area.  It was weird.  Guaranteed that the smallest room in your house is bigger than the 'lounge' area at the one I went to.

Dang, that's always disappointing.  They do have some nice stuff usually-Opus for 'close-to-MSRP' and etc when I have ordered from them before.

Atlantic closed their store in northern PA.  Now just distribution by Philly airport.  Only remaining stores in NY and Connecticut.

What airport would you use?  I could probably get you a flight...

FAR

Connecting through Chicago to Newark for $465....or 50K miles.

That's not too bad of a price - never been to NJ or NY...only inadvertently in that area when I went to DC 10+ years ago.

Made a wrong turn?

Haha - well, I said it that way not remembering all of the places we went.  Rode with my grandparents from OK to NC then to DC and not sure where all we went on day-trips and such.  I was just a wee-CG87(pre-yellowstar) back then!

Well, it's kinda slow at the office so I'm heading home before anything finds me.  Enjoy the rest of the day, all.

The downtown CI store is little more than a hole in the wall. The superstore is much better, lots of space to move around. It's a big barn that has been converted. Haven't been to the Hamburg store yet, that's the super duper store, 2 levels. One of these years, for sure.

Charlie and I are planning to go straight to Hamburg this year.  Haven't been there yet either.  If we get the regular Friday ticket, we can't enter until 2:30 anyway.  Then we tailgate afterwards.

We haven't been yet because we like to hit the Perdomo event, which has been at the superstore lately, and we usually meet my sister, BIL and nephew for lunch downtown, which is close to the super store.

Did anyone else even see you in the office? Sheesh! Later, Joe.

Are we all back up and running?  Sorry about that, folks.  That's the problem with hosting a site on a shared server.  I won't complain though.  Almost 8 months and that was the real first glitch we got.

I figured it was just me.  Russell Wilson announced his new website today and broke the Internet up here.

I was gonna say something, but thought maybe it was just me. Took me about 5 minutes to get it to load, finally.

Yeah I was wondering what you were doing behind the scenes

I'm just glad we got it back up and running before hazzuh time.

I wasn't doing shit.  A number of sites besides this one experienced an outage too.  It happens.
