I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

Here's a pic of Shorty and I. I don't watch his show nor care for pitbulls, figured I'd get a pic with him though.

And a pic of Matt Booth and I. I didn't talk to him much, just asked for a picture. He was pretty cool though. Gave me a pair of the brass knuckle cigar cutters in a case that said Room 101 Cigars on it.

Nice. I met Matt and he talked to me for a while. Real cool guy. Where was this at?

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

Seattle Cigar Expo in Seattle, WA.

this was just last weekend, on the 20th.

Looks like a great time. We had a cigar fest in KC last year and it is supposed to happen again this year but details are slow. It was a ton of fun and I am really looking forward to this years event.

We don't get many cigar events here in WA since you can't smoke inside. Unless it's at the casinos which are all located on Indian Reservations. Which you're allowed to smoke in. There's only one casino close to me that has an actual cigar lounge. They hold events every once awhile. They're holding a bigger event in October, so that'll be fun. Not sure if there will be any big names there though.

Luckily the weather was nice and the set up for the outside smoking area was perfect for smoking outside. They had some seating areas and tables and tents around.

I am lucky to have Outlaw Cigar here in KC and they throw a huge event once a month and have a bunch of other things going on. We have many B&M's in the area and of course XIKAR. I would just like to see more cigar community events involving multiple vendors and B&M's. It is good for the industry and good for cigar lovers.

Very cool! Nice pics!

Very cool!

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

That's awesome. If you ever have the opportunity to talk to Matt again he is a good guy to talk to. Very down to earth and a very humble guy to boot.

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

wasn't Pete Johnson and Pepin just at Outlaw this last weekend?

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

Yeah, I wish I talked to him. Though, I had no idea what to chat with him about.

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

Yes and I got stuck out of town in Ottumwa, Iowa and didn't make it back in time to go. Disappointing.

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

awesome!

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

Looks like a great time!!!!

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

That cutter sounds awesome.
I am shocked to see Shorty not smoking a Diesel Shorty!

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

PICS or it didn't happen!!

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

I'll take a picture of them when I get home from work.

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

I think Shorty was smoking a San Lotano. He was hanging out at their table the whole time.

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

nice pics! looks like you had a blast.

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

Very Kool... :tu

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

Sweet!!!

Thanks for sharing!!!:tu

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

Shorty Rossi is one of my favorite TV personalities who openly smokes cigars on his show. We own two Am. Staff. Terriers, so its nice to see someone who adovcates for bully breeds like he does. I would love to meet him some day. :tu

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

Nice pic with Matt. I was wanting to get a pic with him and Dion when he showed up, but didn't get around to it.

Re: I met a couple cigar celebrities this weekend. PICS
 

I don't know the names and faces of most of the cigar brands out there. But it's hard to miss a short guy and I've seen numerous pics of Matt. He has his own sense of style so yeah...he was cool. I wish I talked to him more. He has this fashion/rockstar look to him (yes I know he's a jewelry designer) and seems like he could be full of himself, but just saying hi and shaking his hand and exchanging any small talk we had, he was pretty cool. He gave me one of those cool brass knuckle cutters and offered a Cusano 18 cigar as well. So he's cool in my book.

Thanks for sharing. :tu :tu

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. Yes it was a perfect day and event... about time Seattle had a big cigar event! I too thought Matt would be a little too rock-star and full of himself, but he surprised me a bit. I also had a good amount of time to chat with Dion at the post-party as it was less crowded. As I've heard, he would a good dude.

I was told Pete Johnson tried like hell to make it to the event but could not get out of the Outlaw event in KC as he already agreed to that awhile back and Pepin really wanted him there.

Here's looking to next year's Seattle Cigar Expo!
