Never saw this thread, as it was before I joined CP. But I'll go ahead and throw this out there:
I've been covertly feeling for interest in this myself. Originally my idea was just to see about having a small dinner & herf at the Pendergast Club which is a private member only cigar lounge/bar above the majestic steakhouse in downtown. They do parties & events.
Basicly the only commitment would be that anyone that attends, purchases their dinner. They do have a small humidor (walk in but very small) with out much of a selection that is kinda on the high side price wise. But I have talked with them and they have no problems with attendees bringing there own smokes to enjoy.
The dinner would hover around the $35-50+ range each, not including drinks. The cigar club is private, above the rest of the restaurant. It has a full service bar, Lounge poker table/game room area, and private dinning room. They will only serve parties of 6 or more and I thought this would have been plenty but not real sure these days. Most of the KC guys I have talked with have shown interest in it. I will call and find out the max number of people the club can accomodate.
I thought it would be a good non-commercial setting with no pressure, good food and a good time. Let me know what you guys think. I was thinking late summer early fall time frame.
Let me know your thoughts!
