You can still get the Cigar Nut tickets via their auction. There are 750 of those (out of 2500). That seems like a high percentage. Some bids are already @ $200.00 and the auction doesn't close until February 16th. These tickets were $150.00 last year. I wonder if that was their plan all along.:rolleyes:

Since they sold out too fast. I have placed my bid on em. I hope that I do not have to raise my bid. Anyone else in the DC area going?

I guess I'm out. I thought they'd sell out within a couple of days, not 1 1/2 hours.

I'll be there. I snagged a couple VIH for my Brother in law and I. A buddy of mine that was going ended up with Some General admission Tix. The VIH were sold out in less than 30 min but I heard there were only 500 of em available.

I don't blame em for auctioning the Cigar nut tix. Lots of scalpers out there that resell for triple on Ebay etc.

Woke at 7:15 and by the time the computer warmed up and I hit the page they were gone :mad: Last year took a couple days to sell out. Guess I will buy a box and herf with some friends instead. :tg

I put a bid on 2 of them when I got to work at 8 but refuse to pay $200 a ticket :bh

I really thought they would last a day or two. I want to take the son for his birthday, and just wish I would have logged on when I woke up and saved the money if I do end up with a pair at what I bid :hn

Call CI and tell em to put your name on the waiting list for Tickets. They always have people cancel. My buddy scored 4 tickets in mid April last yr.

Lraedy on Ebay. SOme DH has 2 general admission tickets for $600. I hope he chokes on em and loses money. What a shame if that was another BOTL. Just my opinion.

Gee, it would really suck if a few people created throwaway accounts and bid his auction up to some ridiculous amount and then bailed.

Re: Anyone going to Cigarfest this year?
 
I'm still high on the cbid list for cigarfest ticket. Woo Hoo :dr

1 week into the bidding 1 week to go.

Still on the list, over 100 people from the bottom and 1 price increase left in the bid.
Bidding appears to have slowed the last few days so hopefully I get them.

If I do then I get the joy of trying to be one of the luck SOBS that gets a frigging room,
since everyone will be trying to book at the same dang time :mad:

I went last year and I had a great time. For the value of the ticket I got breakfast and lunch plus some great conversations with some interesting people. But I dont know that I would go again. I mean I mostly smoke CCs, but even last year when I smoked NCs most of the give aways were simply things I personally had no interest in. In fact the only one I can remember really wanting was the 5 Vegas Miami. Also the environment wasn't really conducive to smoking, too many people too little air circulation. I think I'd much prefer to do something local with 5-6 peeps and concertrate on cigars I know I want.

Re: Anyone going to Cigarfest this year?
 
Stayed in the top 100 and got my 2 tickets :dance:

Payed $10 more a ticket than I had wished but at that price whats another $10, right :confused:
