CAO Event April 9th

[stogieman]

Here's another event at the Corona Cigar Company on Sand Lake Rd in Orlando. I'm going to cut and paste the email that I received so I make no mistakes.

MEET TIM OZGENER!

CAO Vice President, Tim Ozgener, will be at Corona Cigar Co. on April 9! You will not want to miss this event at Corona Cigar in Orlando, one of Florida's premiere tobacconists. Tim's last in-store appearance at Corona was a smash hit and this year's event promises to be even bigger! Starring CAO Italia, and co-starring 'flavours by CAO,' the cigar line-up will be nothing short of stellar -don't miss this event! For more information, please call (123) 456-7890 / (888) 702-4427.

I attended last years event and had a blast. I checked out the Corona Cigar Co website and they are advertising that Tim will be there from noon until midnight. If you can make it, it would be great. I'm sure Joe and a few others will be in attendance...... :thumbs:

Sounds like fun! I'm in!

I've had good luck with the CAO Black Robusto's. One of the first cigars I bought (a fiver from Cbid). I've smoked a couple of them and they have been good. I got an Italia from somebody which is safely tucked away in the humi and a Brazilia from Charlie's brother Frank which I haven't smoked yet (it's huge!).

PM Sent... I hope he doesn't miss it - that's a great place!!!

Benji sent me a PM last Friday stating that he is comin' here to Orlando (Disney World) and I replied back to him about the event. I furnished him my phone numbers so hopefully he'll call. :thumbs:
Joe and myself are meeting up at 5:00 and stopping over at another botl's (Ocat from the Perdomo board) house and then we're headin' over to the event.......

"den of inequity" all right - he's got all the good stuff, and I don't... :angry:

Well, you me tell you Bill, Oscar's got one hell of a nice supply of ceegars all over the house. He's got a big solid mohagany wall unit with around 140+ boxes in with room for another 50+ he said. He's got humis all over the house all filled with great cigars and the ninja gophers are doing fine.

Well the CAO even was a great time. Joe and myself had a great time and we BS'd with Tim Ozgener, CAO's Vice President who is a great guy. Joe picked up a box of CAO Piranhas and they threw in a nice sampler box. Here is a cut and paste from a site that I found that offers the exact sampler. I'll post the link afterwards so you can take a look at it as well. "This new collection of CAO's finest cigars features 1 cigar from each of our seven premium blends*, and is the perfect introduction to CAO. Produced in commemoration of the establishment of the new CAO factories in Nicaragua and Honduras.
*Contains 1 of the following: Mx2 "Beli", L'Anniversaire Maduro Churchill, L'Anniversaire Extreme Churchill, Gold Label Corona Gorda, Brazilia "Samba", L'Anniversaire Cameroon Belicoso, and Criollo "Pato". "

And if that wasn't enough, they threw in a CAO Italia cap as well. :thumbs:

All in all, it was a great evening and so you weren't hungry, they were offerring free pizza as well. The only sad thing is that we didn't get any photos. Sorry, you'll have to catch the CAO event at your local cigar establishment..... :thumbs: :whistling:

Sounds like another winnner from Corona!
Loved the time I checked somethin' out there.

Here's a picture of that den of inequity.....140+ boxes and more on the way...

It's a beautiful piece. The only problem is actually selecting a cigar to smoke. He offered a Piranha, which I accepted, then tried to tempt me away with something from the "dark side"...I almost traded. I smoked the Piranha and it was tasty!

I managed to snag a box of Piranha's at the Corona Cigar store, got my free sampler and Tim even signed the box for me.

Mike (sir-smokes-a-lot) had asked me to get a CAO box signed for him if I could and I didn't forget. I picked up a nice CAO box and had Tim sign it as well. It's on the way to MN via USPS, tracking # 0304 1560 0005 4002 4921. Enjoy!

Chalk up another good time at the Corona Cigar store!

Cheers,
Joe
