Hey All, I get kind of an interesting opportunity on August 18th. Rocky Patel is flying in from the Honduras to Des Moines, IA for a "Night of Smoking with Rocky Patel". Ben from Cigar Source here in Des Moines has met and become friends with Rocky and invited him out here for a Smoke Out at a local bar / tavern... And reasonably priced too... $34.95 gets you a chance to meet, chat with Rocky himself (no stunt doubles), two vintage RP cigars, Hor'dourves (snacks as I call it in Iowa) and a full honduran style dinner. I am planning on getting some pictures to share with you all.

I guess Rocky is quite a nice and fun person to hang out with. He loves getting his picture taken with people and sign boxes of cigars. This is also his first time ever in Iowa.

I am excited, so I figured I would share my excitement with you all!

Take care!

Joe aka SW

Sounds like a great time. I love getting to meet the people behind my favorite cigars.

Sounds great . . . and yes he is a very nice guy. Other than the "Honduran dinner" I get the same opportunity at my local shop about 2 or 3 times per year. Best part is that the snacks, drinks, cigars and schmoozing with Rocky are free!

Hopefully, yours will be a regular stop for him now.

Have a great time!

I am stoked! It is awesome PR for him and great entertainment for us!

I've meet him 2 times at a Cigar Event and hung out with him 1 time in Honduras. He is definitely a blast. I will be going back to Honduras in October it looks like. He loves to smoke cigars, drink, and have a good time. Hope you have a blast.

You know Mr Peat.... That would be the ultimate life... wouldn't it???? Smoke, Drink, party, fly around the world meeting all sorts of interesting people AND MAKE TONS OF MONEY DOING IT!!!!!!!!! But, the name Rocky Patel sounds much much more interesting than Joe Mastous, and lets face it... Iowa is not what I would call a good tobacco growing country

If you really want to have some fun with Rocky. Just tell him the Outlaw crew sends their greetings. Rocky likes to play some jokes on people when hanging out so fair warning.

Well, since I havent seen an update as to how this went. So did you get to go and meet Rocky? If so, what was you impression of him? I just had 6 rolls of film developed from my Honduras trip in Oct 05. One day I will have to do some scans of them and post a couple.
