Since this monster convention is going on right now I thought I'd see if we had any members who are attending or anyone with any news from this event. I've heard there are a lot of new releases being released here and a lot of cool things there.

[kelmac07]

Waiting on a friend to return next week (B&M owner)...he always brings back the latest scoop.

[DaBear]

Halfwheel has been good for all the new stuff going on at the show. I'm pretty excited for JD's new Nica Rustica and most importantly, the Room 101 Master Collection One. :dr Mexican San Andres Ligero Rosado wrapper, plus one of my favorite box designs period(I'm a sucker for Matt's sakura logo he uses).

[mahtofire14]

Yeah I've been following Halfwheel, and also The Stogie Guys have been tweeting all day on Twitter from the show. Pictures of each vendor they stop at and some video as well.

A couple of photos from NinjaVanish from today. More are promised, but as a retail chain GM this year, he has more obligations than past shows, and photos might come slower than last year. But I'll post up in this thread as I get them.

From Pete Johnson's booth:

New line, Scorpion. The scorpions at the base of the display (left of box) are real live scorpions, inside a glass terrarium.

A Davidoff Nica? I'm intrigued.

[Beagleone]

Heard some interesting things on the Davidoff Nicaragua. Looking forward to seeing those hit the market.

[meatcake]

Didn't get to go but interviewed a few retailers/bloggers via my podcast. That coverage is here if anyone is interested.

That's one smooth Beaver there! Nice wood on that Beaver. I'd like to put that beaver in my mouth.... I could go on for days with the puns on the name of those Nording pipes!!!

[363]

Those Nording pipes are gorgeous!

[DaBear]

So those V Melanio Maduros should be hitting retailers soon. Our UPS guy just showed up with 8 giant boxes of stuff for us(hooray show orders), checked the invoice, they're in there(if you're thinking about calling to grab some, please wait until tomorrow, we've still gotta enter them in amongst the other stuff).

[MUNKY]

My local b$m had a KFC in the shop today he brought back as a sampler, umm liquid smoke flavor and very different.

[mahtofire14]

That looks like an absolute blast!

[enlightenedcigar]

Smoked the Davidoff Nicaragua, La Flor FPL, and the new Carlos Torano Vault so far. All three are freaking tasty.

[kelmac07]

I'll take 3 Smooth Beavers please. :r :r
