Jacob is at it again, thanks to his efforts it looks like I might be able to attend my very first cigar festival ever – this one being in Kansas City and rightfully named the KC Cigar Fest 2010. The date is September 18th, 2010 and I highly recommend if you are able to make it to purchase your tickets online ($45 online, $55 at door if they have tickets) but there are only 1000 so move quick! Might be asking, why so much money? Each person will receive 4 premium hand rolled cigars, 2 drink tickets and a 1 raffle ticket. Raffle prizes will include cigars, t-shirts, ashtray trays and a signed box of cigars.

Jennifer will be having one of her wedding showers that day so I figure if I can leave St. Louis early (3 1/2 hour one way drive, so no excuses for the others with a drive) I will grab some lunch with Jacob and whoever else is already out and about and then head over to the festival around 2pm when it starts.

Please check out the site http://kccigarfest.com/ for more information. As a teaser – They will be giving out over $40,000 worth of cigars and raffle prizes which include (but are not limited to) a box of God Of Fire Cigars, Prometheus and Xikar Cutters and lighters as well as a limited edition humidor filled with cigars! If that wasn’t enough, each person will receive a Graycliff cigars as one of the 4 at the door – AND – Abel Laura, son of Avelino Laura, the master cigar roller who was Fidel Castro’s personal cigar roller, helped create (my personal favorite) the original Cohiba line from Cuba will be on site rolling cigars throughout the event. If that wasn’t enough, Paolo Garrazoli – owener of The Graycliff cigar company will be there in person! Hope I can see you out there!
