    Default 2005 Las Vegas Big Smoke

    The 2005 Las Vegas Big Smoke is on November 4-6. Has anyone ever attended one of these? I am considering going this year. It looks like it would be a lot of fun, and educational! You get 20 free smokes from various vendors just for going I am wondering if anyone has gone, is it worth it to buy the ticket for all 3 days, or is just one night of the Big Smoke enough?

    I've heard mixed reviews on these. I think the larger organized herfs like the LOL Herf in Springfield, IL on Columbus Day weekend is a much better time that those Big Smoke Deals.

    CigarWeekly has a big one in Reno, NV in January.

    If I were you, I'd hit one of those instead.

    None of those are in LAS VEGAS though And after being there this summer I gotta head back soon It's like $175 for one night, $495 for three nights I think I'll just get a one night ticket anyways, that's pricey enough Anyone else gonna go?

    Roham..

    GTPHALE and I will be attending the big smoke..

    It will be our first time going to one of these events.
    I think the whole experience is about enjoying the different BOTL's you will meet and talking with the different vendors and creators about this hobby..and also attending some of the seminars they will be offering.. If you are just going to get some freebies than you probably wont enjoy yourself! also they wont give you anything spectacular as I have heard..

    But we are Vegas whores..so we will be partying it up alot..LOL!

    We are also hitting up S.E.M.A. and one night for the Big smoke.!! We are also meeting other ppl out there.. and some local las vegans for some herfing action..

    S.E.M.A is on the same weekend? My friend is going to that, so I guess he will be coming with me to the big smoke! Sounds like an awsome time. Let me know what day you are buying your ticket for.


    I just noticed you had already posted a thread about this in the Aficionados section
