Cigar Events.

So guys I was wondering, because I've never actually been to one, what happens at Cigar events. I'm assuming a rep of the company comes and gives out deals on cigars, but is there anything else to it?

The reason I ask is there is a Rockey Patel event coming to a local smoke shop, and I was thinking about taking a short day at work to attend it.

You pretty much nailed it. Rep might have a freebie cigar ,deals on their brand
This is where you meet a rep and see if he is a true cigar guy or a salesman of cigars and if the shop is worth a shit too. My Friend Nate was a rep for Oliva but he was killed a year ago in a car crash but he was a hell of a friend and put on a good event too.

Go check it out its a blast

Yep, what Kevin said.

My shop has events maybe every other week, but a lot of them are events I'm not particularly interested in the product. They had a Ashton tasting event the one time. You got 3 robustos, and you had to light all three at the same time, and rotate smoking them while the group discussed the tasting notes. I'm pretty sure we all failed, but it was fun.

And yeah, the deals abound. I got some Ashton aged maduro #50s (I think, they were the robustos) for under 4 bucks a piece by the time I walked out of there.

I've also heard the RP events are pretty good. I'm still waiting for a semi-local Padron event....
