I'll be there from 7-15 until 7-19. I'm staying at Bally's and would love to hang out with some other BOTL'S from this site.

Updated with pics.

I've been listening to the Dog Watch Social Club give updates about it.

I'd like to get out there some year.

This is a dream. I am trying to get a booth for next year for the company. I think it would be a hoot.

Brian, it is the Retailer Tobacco Distributors Association.

Basically, all the manufacturers get together for a big trade show and invite all the B&Ms. Of course, many others get tickets too.

And if you go, you want to go with a B&M because that's who the entire focus is on. Imagine if you will every major and minor cigar maker asking you to try a few of his cigars "free".:popeyes:

Sunday at the RTDA Pre stuff was one of the best days of my life. Simply amazing.

Mikes - What were you doing with the Palio guys? You're not Mike formerly of CAO, now with Palio, are you? Ifso, I'm Craig from the Sunday night dinner!

Yea, Lew hooked me up with the ticket to the RTDA show. He also gave tickets to 4-5 other guys from eherf. Lew is one hell of a guy that REALLY knows his stuff regarding tobacco. I walked around the show all day with him and I was amazed at his great knowledge of the leaf. He also speaks fluent Spanish so he can talk shop with the manufactures with ease. I had an awsome time and this will be a trip that I will never forget. Do you know Lew too?

Lews shop is in my town.

So I heard Ashton would not even discuss the ESG. Any truth to that?
