Greetings all.

What's included: (aka what do I get for $80?)

Exclusive use of the Mambo Lounge from 1PM - Closing (FYI. We "closed" @ 3:15AM last year). We have the whole place to ourselves. Inside and out. Drop in for a drink, lunch and a smoke, maybe take a walk and then come back for the "official" start. Or just stay there all day if you wish.

Swag bag (courtesy of La Casa Del Habanos).
One complimentary cigar

Mega Herf Itinerary: 5PM and onwards.

Be on time in order to take advantage of all the goodies.

5:00PM: Official Toronto Mega Herf start.

5:30PM: Tapas will be served.

6:00PM: Doors will close. Please ensure you are in by this time at the very latest. The Mambo is going to close the doors to ensure no walk-in's from the street occur. This is for our sake. We're going to have all kinds of valuables laying around so locking the door is going to help prevent theft. If you are in dire straits and will be late, I will provide a few cell #'s you can call so we can meet you at the door. But please, do try to get in by 6PM at the latest.

7:30PM: Dinner will be served. It will be a Cuban Carnivale style buffet. Just like last year.

After dinner: Cigar smoking to your heart's content!! (NOTE: So there's no confusion. You can smoke all you want from 1PM to close) Walk around, get to catch up with old friend and meet new ones. And definitely stop by the auction and prize table.

10:00PM: "Last Call" for silent auctions & raffles.

10:30PM: The conclusion of silent auctions & raffles.

The menu includes:
Mains:
Cuban style, whole roasted pig
Chicken
Salmon

Side Dishes:
rice, beans, salad, congri, steamed vegetables, plantains and yuca

Entertainment:
We will have live music. Cuban guitar whiz Elmer Ferrer will play three sets throughout the night.

Also, a lovely Cuban dancer will make the rounds.

Auctions & Prizes:

We are going to be conducting silent auctions for various cigars and cigar related items. I will be putting out a call for donations shortly. All proceeds will go to charity. The charity of choice will be the same as last year. The Nicaraguan Mission. See here for details.

There will also be a few raffles. Auction and raffle details will be posted in a separate thread. We will be looking for folks to donate cigars and cigar related items to go towards the charity.

My plane lands at 4:30pm, if I have no delays. Any way I can pay when and if I get there? I would hate to commit and get delayed when I change planes in Chicago You know how that goes.

Just checked saw that the entertainment (band AND dancer) will not be performing :frown:
Price per head goes down to $65 as a result. Everything else pretty much looks the same.

As for which BOTL's are going so far it's:
- maverickdrinker
- me/stogiecidal
- JNT
- wilfredsimpson

Now I know B2/Brent said he's working and unable to attend but he did say he would try to get off to play a round.....I read it as he'll be able to make the herf too :) Will reach out and see what he says.
