Ok...granted I haven't been a big poster here....but only found the board recently ( well found it before but I am not big on passes per se....but the board seems good...and I have been busy so yup not many posts.) As for Ads...nope these are just opportunities for herfs. We have a group of about 50+ guys and gals who show up for our herfs 2 times a month.
We are agnostic about boards. We are just people who like to smoke...but do not pay allegiance to any particular board...all are welcome. We have members from the old ASC, CW, Cl, HP, CU and even here.
We began back in the days of ASC newsgroups when we started herfin on a regular basis.
We get invited from manfs to go to their factories. Some of us have been to Camp Camacho, others to La Aurora. We often have manfs visit us for our herfs giving out their newest and best sticks for us to try. We usually get unreleased or newly released cigars for the crawl. For example we launched the CAO Anniversario when it first came out. Last year, we had the Liga Privada #9.
We are the oldest cigar crawl as far as we can tell in the US. This is the 12th year.
We have lunuch ( on our own dime) then hit two cigar stores -- one in Dallas one in Plano--where there are special prices and freebies. We end up at our dinner where for 55 bucks you get a raffle ticket and a great meal. The raffle raises money for charity and we have some amazing prizes. We also have two terrific cigars for the dinner...and one has not been released yet.
If ya are interested in coming let me know. got between 3-6 slots left. It all depends on who pays first
And when I can make your herfs I will--this year's schedule has been bad and I am having trouble making ours)....you guys are always welcome at ours too.
