Hey put me down on the list as I'm going as well as 6 others with me.

Party on. Oh and the green shirt looks like ***. I got slimed too. I heard the Saturday guys got the blueish/grey.

FYI, We are going to be bringing around 100 of our homemade cigars to Cigarfest and we will be handing them out for free. Most of them will be on Friday, so look for the Crap Mobile and our tailgaiting party outside of our car!

If anyone can find a box of dirty rats at the drew estates event. Please let me know in looking for a box or two. Thanks

First time going with a few buddies. We have the VIH tickets. Any advice on what would be a good arrival time for the 12:30 entrance time? How long should we expect to stand in line? Thanks for any help you can offer.

I had general admission tickets last year and I'd say we waited in line for about 45 mins. I suspect it'd be a shorter wait time for a VIH ticket holder. I'll find out in a few days I guess. If you're staying at any of the local hotels, they have free shuttle service to Split Rock for the events. They looked like they had plenty of parking available otherwise. Also, remember to pack a tooth brush, and always use the buddy system.

This weekend is going to be full of smoking cigars, hanging out with friends, talking with fellow cigar smokers, and full on drunken debauchery! I can't wait. Tomorrow is my last day of work for the week, and then it's off to CigarFest 2013! This is my fourth year going, and the 10th anniversary of what can only be explained as a mega herf (look it up). Seven of us are going to the Poconos, a 9 hour drive, and then the festivities can begin. 80+ cigars, humidor, ashtray, cutters, lighters, hats, tshirts, duffle bag, posters, and other cool swag. Raffle prizes, free beer, free barbecue dinner, cheesy announcers, and tons of B list cigar celebrities. Four years ago, my buddy Robert Shipe? and I ventured into the unknown and now have included our other friends into the tradition. We talk half the year about the events that took place, and then another half a year about our anticipation for the next one. Cigars International? runs it, and it is always a great event. Epicness will ensue, and I can't wait! Look for us, we would love to kick off a side party (or two), plus I will be handing out free cigars on Friday before the general admission sales outside of the parking lot. It's my homemades that I made. CIGARFEST!!!

////doors open @ 12:30, so u can choose to stand in line like the other 988 ppl for 2+ hours...or find a nice spot to relax, show up @ 12:35 and walk right in.

As per other advice...hmm:
-visibility is the key to winter drivnig, so be sure to clean off all snow and debris before driving;
- wait 30 minutes to swim after eating a heavy meal
-if you love someone, let them go...if they return, no one else wanted them either
-It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
Don't wipe yer wiener on the curtains.
-and of course Yogi has a few fine ones also:
You can observe a lot just by watching.
Enjoy your time @ CF

Standing in line isn't bad, it's like tailgating for some. Hanging out with friends and socializing with strangers until you get in is a decent way to pass the time. Some take chairs and coolers and then run that back to their cars prior to getting.

Yeah I've done the general admission every year and I don't have a problem with it. I like standing in line, because I can smoke a cigar while waiting. As long as I have a cigar in my hand and I'm with my friends, it doesn't matter what's going on. Besides, we got a room in the galleria this year so our cars are not moving from that spot.

The Diesel booth is inside/ at CF. Back right hand side corner, in the main building I would assume.

I had a blast on Saturday at CigarFest ......... Got the chance to have a pic taken with Shorty and The one and only Alex Svenson. I have also decided that this will become a yearly trip.

'Kevin', Me, PsychoSJG, Skweekz, Y2Pascoe, and The Beav!

Had an absolute blast hanging with these guys and more not pictured at the CAO Concert concert.

You can tell this was early in the night because the table is relatively clean and flash photography didn't just produce a gray rectangle.
