Hi all.

I'll more than likely be attending the meet up in April seeing March is pretty full on for me.

The RA bar is pretty sweet, Steve (Oz Cuban) and I have met there several times as well as at Collins Quarter. Even if you arrived a little prior to RA opening, you can still enjoy a cigar at Collins Quarter outdoor areas no problems.

As for Siglo, Friday nights are also pretty good and memory serves me correct, Prez, Lisa and all us FOH Melbourne members all caught up there on a wintery Friday night (Rob complaining about the cold weather) was it last year? Time flys so fast, I've lost track of time.

Would be great to meet some new people to have a chat and enjoy some mutual company with a few cigars.

What a great evening. That's to the guys in Melbourne for organizing the drinks last night.

I can recommend RA lounge if you are ever in Melbourne. Great lounge, great drinks, comfortable indoor area and bar staff who cannot add up correctly. Not sure how many free drinks we ended up with but we were not going to hang around to argue over the very low bill.

[NJP]

It's great to meet new smokers and talk shop with fellow Cuban lovers. Had a good night and enjoyed Andrews company and knowledge. Just a true gent. I hope the under charging bar staff didn't take a copy of Robo's license and card to fix the problem later. Thanks again.

Good night and it was great to see 'Smithy' and other posters from here in the flesh. Looking forward to the March monthly meet which looks like I'll be able to attend (I'm not working that night as I initially thought). Maybe we'll get another "discount"

Thanks to Matt for booking the table and thanks to Smithy on all the info he shared with us...

To top it off, I didn't get booked for parking in a loading zone and didn't run into any booze buses on the way home

[NJP]

Nice work on the best free park in Collins street.

[Tan1801]

All good fun and a very enjoyable night.

Good to meet some forum members and put faces to names.

Hopefully we're still welcome next time :S.

[Tan1801]

Hey guys. We're downstairs at collins quarter because they double booked us at RA. So still the same location, just downstairs in the court yard area.

[Tan1801]

Quick update, had a decent turnout of 8 people.

It was good to put faces to forum names.

Look forward to the next one.

I will post up a pic of us all later tonight.

[bolivr]

Very good night out, thanks guys.

It is heartening to see fellow travelers on the cigar road and trade stories. I am always impressed, and yeah, everyone says this but it is impressive that cigars bring folks together from so many different lives.

And simply for a night in the city. I should get out more as some of the young ladies thereabouts looked terribly exotic to me

Looking forward to the next one - and we will be rightfully returned to the upstairs room!

Shoot me a PM so I can arrange a box of cigars for the next get together. I also would love to shoot out an invite to all Melbourne *****A members.

Touch base and we will get it done
