Cigar shows/conventions

[mrtr33]

What are you hoping to find at these conventions? The newest cigar lines? Information on new blends and manufacturers? Rallying support for cigar smokers rights?

While I'm envious of those that get to attend IPCPR, I'm just as happy talking about cigars here, attending a herf, even going to my local B&M and smoking with the guys there. If I want to try something new, I offer up a box split, or jump in on one and participate in this community.

Eddie, you don't know about the cultural hotbed that is Akron, Ohio? All night raves, 5 star restaurants, a world trade center, what more can you ask for?
On a serious note, while New Orleans and Las Vegas are larger, more destination vacation cities, they also have the reputation of being cities of vices - of which I'm assuming cigars are considered to be.

I dunno, my sarcasm meter readings are off the charts here. Is it just me?

I guess I would like to go to a show or convention to see whats new, maybe even pick up some samples, maybe even free samples. I love to go to shows for my other hobbies (golf, fishing) so why not for cigars?

There we go, the free shit is where it's at. All the new shit is in cigar afficionado first anyway, geesh, it's like the bible for cigar smokers, especially the reviews.

Im always down for some free shit, especially free cigar shit, because allot of cigar shit is expensive. At least my wife thinks it is.
