Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Capital Cigar Society is proud to announce its first Annual Festival Gala on Thursday, August 21st from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 P.M. To kick off our fundraising efforts to open a private club we will host a dinner featuring the cigars of Pete Johnson of Tatuaje! These cigars are blended by one of the hottest names in our hobby, Don Pepin Garcia. The dinner will be held at:

Extra Virgin
4053 Campbell Ave
Arlington, Virginia​

The dinner features four courses: an appetizer course, a pasta course with two choices, a main course of either pork or fish and a dessert. Having eaten here several times, I must say the food is absolutely spectacular. We have arranged outdoor and indoor seating to accommodate 75 guests.

Although dinner is certainly something to look forward to, for the Capital Cigar Society, appreciation of the leaf is always the focus of our events. Tatuaje, in partnership with Leesburg Cigar and Pipe, have provided us with a great cigar menu including the following cigars:

Tatuaje Series P P4
Tatuaje Miami Regios
Tatuaje Havana VI Angles
Cabiguan Guapo RX
La Riqueza No 1

Each attendee will also receive a specially engraved Capital Cigar Society Palio Cutter! So before you are even seated, you will have received an $85 value. Pair that with a fabulous $75 meal and the value of the evening increases to $160. With a ticket price of $100, this is an event not to be missed.

The other sponsors for this event include:

Nub
Xikar
Johnny Walker

We will materials provided by these sponsors in a raffle that will kick off at 6:30 p.m. and run throughout dinner. You will automatically receive one raffle ticket upon your arrival. Additional raffle tickets may be purchased for $10 each prior to and during dinner.

Among the raffle prizes are:

2 boxes of Romeo Y Julieta Coronitas En Cedros
2 boxes of Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas
2 Xikar Cutters
5 Tatuaje Cutters
5 Tatuaje Hats
1 Romeo Y Julieta Humidor (MSRP of $600)
2 cabinets of cigars to be provided by Cigar Czar
Hats, T-shirts, Lighters

Additional raffle prizes will be added for each increment of $500 of raffle tickets we sell. For example, once we surpass $500 in raffle tickets, we will add an additional Romeo Y Julieta humidor and 2 boxes of cigars. If we surpass $1000 in raffle ticket sales we will add more great prizes.

Cash, check, credit card or interweb payments will be accepted for tickets purchased prior to the event. Only credit card or cash will be accepted at the event.

To make a payment with cash or check please contact me, Bryan Winston, 703-981-1681, bryan.winston@capitalcigarsociety.com or our Vice President, Rapheal Delgado, 703-635-4560, Raphael.Delgado@capitalcigarsociety.com. To pay by interweb payment or credit card contact our Treasurer (Mark Neff, 703-282-3892, mark.neff@capitalcigarsociety.com) Again we have 75 tickets for this event and they are expected to go fast so act now!
 
Bryan, sounds like a great event, good luck :thumbs:
 
Still bumping this, come on local guys we've got an opportunity to have a really special time with this.
 
Hey, Im from the area but I do not know if ill find anyone to come with me. Ill see what I can do.
 
The odds of me going are greater now I think I got 2 people who are interested in going.
 
Thought I'd post a short review of one of the sticks from the dinner for todays bump:

La Riqueza No 4

I think its impossible to look at a La Riqueza and not think of a Cuban assuming you know anything about Cubans. The band, the quality of the wrapper, the triple cap and even the dress box right up to the inclusion of “tax seal” like stickers had to be put together with the thought of generating the feeling you are looking at a box of Cubans. When I went to a recent store event a rep was smoking one and I asked him what it was because at a glance I thought he was smoking…….well you get my point.

It’s a handsome stick and looks as good as a 26 or 64 which is high praise indeed. It lights easily, produces plenty of smoke and jumps to the flame when its offered. The smoke off the stick smells a little of something toasted and cinnamon. The tastes are earthy with touches of pepper and cinnamon through out and while I wouldn’t consider it complex its interesting enough to wind away an hour with and have no complaints about that time.

Appearance – 10
Construction – 10
Flavor – 8
Value – 8
Overall Experience -9
Overall Grade – 9.0

Final Verdict – A very nice cigar that I feel warrants owning a box even if 90% of your collection is Cuban.

Due to logistical issues we will not be providing engraved Palio cutters at this function. I hope this won't influence your decision to attend the event, as it will still be fine food, friends and fabulous cigars. if you have other questions please feel free to contact me with them.

I am 1/2 way through a sampler right now, and I have to honestly say, these are my current favorite cigar. To me, these are better than any Tat's out there. PJ has a real winner here!
