This Hyatt is a beautiful resort. I have stayed there a few time. This should be a great event. I've already booked my room by the pool and will be out there most of the day before the event.

I just order my tickets. This will be my first cigar convention so I have no idea what to expect. About the only thing I know is I'll need a room after spirit tasting.
So My room is booked.

Thankfully I'll have a friend who's a seasoned cigar convention vet with me. He told me to expect a lot of standing in lines.
In Tips from the Pros?

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

One of my buddies decided to go to the river instead. I have an extra ticket in case anyone wants to buy one. Let me know.
I would rather smoke in luxury. I guess I am getting old.

BTW.....Here is Cigar Vixen who is one of the people putting this event on

 

[AlohaStyle]

Hhhmmm, not a bad picture.

Led me to the video review. Sure, like she wants anyone to look at the cigar. lol

 

[Angry Bill]

Delicia is actually a really nice lady. Have met her a twice at different events. She actually does know her cigars and is friends with several of the manufacturers. Not a chance in hell that I'd go to this event though. No need to get into trouble because of the sights.

Have fun Michael.

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

Sure, like she wants anyone to look at the cigar.

What cigar?

 

[ar2381]

As Angry Bill said, Delicia is a really nice person. I met her at the Great Smoke a couple months ago, and she is really down to earth and knowledgeable about cigars.

 

[Vesuvius]

Cigar Cowboy, I'd be interested in that extra ticket for $50.

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

The ticket was $75.00 plus $5.12 fee or $120 at the door. I will take $65 paid in advance. Otherwise I do not think I will have trouble selling it.

 

[Vesuvius]

Understood. Good luck.

 

[Cigarth Vader]

I'll see you all there.

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

I'll see you all there.

Sounds good!

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

I still have a ticket for sale if anyone wants it.

 

[knw247]

I hope to meet some of the BOTL while at the event. If you see a guy in a Hat like the one that's in my avatar.... Say hello. If he looks at you with a strange look, that wasn't me. Seriously, Say hello.

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

I will be in a black cocktail jacket, white dress shirt and black bow tie with thick frame black glasses most likely with a scotch in one hand and cigar in the other hand.
Also I found out they have a special room rate. It is only $160 per night instead of $230 per night but you have to email sarah.hull@hyatt.com with your room confirmation number so she can change your rate. There is still a resort fee and a valet fee. This is a great property. I have stayed there a few times. I was hoping to enjoy the pool but the forecast is cloudy skies. Too bad!

 

[knw247]

Cigar Cowboy, I'll be on the lookout for you. Thank you for the room tip. I just got mine and my buddies lowered.

 

[knw247]

Cigar Cowboy? Do you still have that ticket available? My son just learned he can make it afterall

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

Still one extra ticket left
