Damn I would go to the RTDA just for fun I love learning new things ( got my MBA just cause I love new information ) and I think there is no better way than the conventions. All the new products, hear the cigarmakers tell ther stories, I am sure there are cigars just like CSB that one might only learn about at the convention. Hell I might even fill out an application and pay the membership fee just to go

And these BigSmokes are pretty awesome too. Cigarfest is done and I did not know about it but this one is coming up

and in October or so there will be CigarMania by Cigar Magazine

If there are people who will go to either one I will join
