That seems very odd. They do the raffle as big deal and clean off the table that way. I saw Shotgun John win a couple of really cool things from Studio Tobac including vodka. Did anyone else complain? Maybe ask the district manager what their protocol is at events?

hey jim,yeah i was m=kinda surprised also been to an R.P event and a studio tobac event and they were very up front rffling off stuff every half hour and shootin freebies evry hour.my only thought was it was a raint thursday night with very low turn out and from what i saw low sales for an event.maybe next time will be better!

I was at an AB event maybe 2 years ago and it was the same thing. It was put on by Sosa, an AB vice president, and it was run the same way...crappy.

Vendors are getting cheaper and cheaper! I remember a davidoff event and they had the tasting just like GAR deli. It was a great time and wish they all were like that! Scotch catered food and well davidoffs! But for a zino event they really stepped it down. No food no tasting no raffle...not sure what's going on since every guy I've met in the biz is doing really well!
