    Question; I may not be able to make it now and if I do i'll be out there late. How long do you guys think your going to keep going?

    Well, the shop closes at 5 and I imagine we might be there until closing. We'll have to wait and see if we make it over to Pechanga or if we call it good at 5.

    Hey Joe. I thought they closed at 7:00pm?

    They have different hours for summer time and such, I think the early closing is the summer hours, but its been a while since I have been there, damn economy....grumble....

    Hey Joe. I thought they closed at 7:00pm?
    You're probably right...For some reason I thought it was 5..or maybe it was 6? Because I know they were getting ready to close when we went down there and that Nut store we went in closed at 7 and they were still open....? Ah, I can't remember.

    Hey all, a little update. So we had the herf today, honestly the turnout was better than I expected and it was great to meet some of the forum guys...a great bunch if I do say so. Here's a group pic.

    herf

    From left to right: Sam, Tim (TGO), Garen (Garen B), Leonard (leonard), Tino, Joe (j0z3r), Patrick (Kamelyon), Russ (Russ55)

    I can't speak for the crowd, but I had a good time, smoked some good cigars and, well, just enjoyed myself. I'd definitely look forward to doing this again.

    Thanks guys for coming out, hopefully you all enjoyed yourselves.

    Looks like you all had fun. Look forward to hearing about many more to come.

  • LukoLuko Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 2,004
    Good to see you guys did pull it off...with a nice turnout.
  • gmill880gmill880 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,947
    Yeah thats a nice turnout. Looks like a nice selection of sticks in there with you guys...bet everybody smoked some good ones. What was the farthrest someone traveled to attend ? Its great to be able to put some faces to some names , I think it brings the forum even closer together and this is already a tight knit bunch for a forum. Glad you had a great time and thanks for the pics !!! Gene

    I had a really good time. It was a nice place, and the company was excellent. Thanks for organizing this Joe.

    Also, the cigar selection was at least double what you see there. There was a whole other wall, and a walk in humidor. I was impressed at their variety.
  • Garen BGaren B Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 977
    We need to do it again sometime soon, that was a really fun time. And an update, it took me until 7:30 to finish off that tank of a cigar, Thanks again for it Tim!

    Sooooo jealous!!! Real friends?!?!? Lucky!!!
  • leonardleonard Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 359
    Good times! We need to do another one in the near future.
  • TGOTGO Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 333
    I had a Blast! Great to meet so many knowledgable cigar aficianados... lots of great discussion and I learned a few things. Look forward to the next one!!! Tim
  • deaDKennedysdeaDKennedys Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 31
    I'm bummed that I couldn't make it out there at the last min...I hope you guys enjoyed it so much that it's becomes a monthly/bi-monthly thing! (hey I can hope :) )
  • KamelyonKamelyon Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 109
    I definately had a great time. I can see this as a monthly get together. Maybe we could all review the same cigar and discuss it the next month or whenever.
  • TGOTGO Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 333
    That's a great idea!
  • Garen BGaren B Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 977
    That's a great idea man, maybe go and all pick out the same cigar there and review while we chat.
  • TGOTGO Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 333
    You know what would be really interesting... we all pick the same cigar and smoke but post the reviews blind to the same thread. People would probably have different perceptions anyway based on taste and preferences but I wonder if the power of suggestion if discussing perceptions while we collectively smoke might change individual observations to the collective observation... or I could be thinking WAY too much about it LMAO!
  • TGOTGO Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 333
    Yo, based on recommendations from the herf I picked up a great deal on the Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Gran Consuls today $3.75 a stick. Rock!
  • j0z3rj0z3r Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 9,403
    Sweet deal Tim. The next herf we have, you and I will have to swap a couple, I'll bring you some belicosos...it's an awesome cigar.
  • TGOTGO Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 333
    Sounds good Joe!
  • KamelyonKamelyon Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 109
    I just got the large "Herf-a-dor" and the Torano 1916s from the daily deal last week. I'm ready for our next herf!
