Regarding the CigarFest and Famous BBQ, these are both awesome events in my opinion. It is true that there are plenty of the three or four dollar sticks, but there are also many premium sticks that are part of the giveaway.
As far as the events themselves, the Fest is a high energy party with a lot of excitement, group events, and great beens with horseradish sauce. Many of the premium name manufacturers are present and some of the boutique guys also. Seems that many people really enjoy it because they seem to come back year after year. In regard to the Famous BBQ, it is far less people and a lot more laid back, outside event, perfect for chilling out and really exceptional BBQ food. Plus the casino event is really cool.
Both are really fun and I am looking forward to them. Looking forward to meeting more of you guys there, and like usual, we will have plenty of booty for the BOTL guys and gals, including some of the new items we are working on. Last year we had 125 Dirty Rats for the BOTL guys and I got to meet many of ya.
See ya there.
