Chicago Get Together

[BobLobLaw]

It was an awesome time. This was my first "herf" so I was not sure what to expect. Met a whole bunch of awesome BOTL's (including El Presidente!), learned a lot more about cigars, and picked up a few interesting smokes I have never had before. Smoking highlight was when Rob showed up with a fresh box of 05 Monarchs. It was my first Monarch and was very very good. Sam (strayvector) promptly got me on a little "white lie/joke" regarding the exact location of the Best cigar in every dress box. Like a noob lemming I ran right over the cliff .

Unfortunately I had to leave early due to a prior engagement so I did not get to spend as much time with everyone as I would have liked. Guess there is always next time though.

Rob, it was great to meet you and when you come back with a little more time we will make sure to show you more of the town, and catch a game at Wrigley.

Alex, great to meet you as well and can you shoot me an email at bburnham17 at yahoo so I can get yours and Jason's info for future Chicago smoking?

Good times,

Ben

I really wish I could have made it to this. I was stuck out of town at a wedding. Even if I were home though, I don't think the other half would let me leave her with the baby all day to go smoke cigars with "a bunch of weirdos from the internet."

:-P

I can't wait to see the pics. It sounds like a fabulous time was had by all. I was at a wedding in Milwaukee and didn't make it back to Chicago early enough to attend. My loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a wonderful time! It was great to meet up with Rob and everyone else. Meeting the man who gets more of my monthly disposable income than my wife was definitely worth the drive.So many new faces and of course, the birthday boy, Alex. Thanks again for setting it up Alex and thank your wife and daughter for putting up with us. Elliot, thanks for flying down to meet up for this one.

Yes, Yes...........good time! Though getting home, the wife wouldnt come within 20 feet of me :-D

Great to meet Rob and the crew from here locally. Looks like a cigar lounge I will be frequently going to now. Never knew it was there.

Though watching a movie tonight, I finally remember who Rob reminds me of.......................................................

You know the wierd guy from Half Baked that goes to jail, or another movie he is in is Rocket man. If you know the movies, think about it and you will agree.

Thgankyou for setting it up Alex. Was a pleasure meeting all and will look for future gatherings.
