Big Smoke

Has anyone been to CA's Big Smoke in Vegas? If so, what did you think of it??

My wife and I thought about going, but someone on here said some things about it that made me re-think it. It's still appealing though, but I'd rather go to SDCC or something.... Plus it would be really spendy it's like 500 a ticket and though I would like to meet the blenders and what-not I can't really justify the price, I mean I could spend 500 dollars, 1000 (for both of us) on cigars that I know I like, hell that would buy my humi, and a few more boxes... lol

it's 500 if you buy a ticket for both days, only $240 for the seminar and big smoke event.

Obviously you know nothing...not surprising since you are merely a cigar.com forum member. The Opus gets better as the number goes down, a truly amateur mistake and one I'd expect to find on such a forum. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got an Opus One that I've been using as a doorstop for 12 years, it will be momentous, certainly.

They are best if you bite the cap off, prior to lighting with a zippo.

I find that dipping the end of the cigar in lighter fluid and then lighting with burning plastic really brings out the flavor. Just my two cents. You'll have to excuse me, my personal helicopter just landed. Ciao

If you tie one of your cigars on the skid of the helicopter, it really takes on a great flavor of atmosphere, I never fly anywhere in my twin engine Cessna without hooking at least a few Opus Ones on the fuselage.

I thought the question got answered pretty well. No one here seems to know much about it which makes sense because the only person that did said it was for the extremely wealthy. I'm not extremely wealthy and know that sitting around a bunch of snobby, arrogant people smoking cigars that I've never heard of because they were top of top line 15 years ago and now have increased value 8 fold isn't a good time.

I don't think just rich people go, I've seen pics and looks like some people show up that maybe shouldn't... lol. Though I'm sure some people are loaded. Hey, if you go to vegas, get rich from casinos then you'd be a snob too! lol... I do wish CA would take less ads and put more cigar stuff in there and as a golfer, I HATE seeing and reading about all those fantastic courses that I'll most likely never hit holes on.
