New Orleans, LA: Cigar Weekly IPCPR Dinner and Herf-August 11, 2009

[TommyBB]

Since 2008 when we heard that the International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers' annual trade show is being held in New Orleans, Cigar Weekly's owners and editors decided that we should throw a herf/party during the show. So many of our members and friends will be in town for the show, what better time could there be to gather? Since 2005, Cigar Weekly members, at least in the year's I've been, have gathered on the Tuesday night. So this year it will be Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Editor-in-Chief TommyBB and friends will be involved in selecting a suitable venue to capture the essence of New Orleans, yet comfortable enough to enjoy time with good friends.

While final details aren't completely finalized, we have a venue

"French Quarter Pizzeria" at 201 Decatur St. one block from Canal Street.

It's an easy walk from the Faubourg St. Mary/Warehouse District and Convention Center.


Reyes Family Cigars have agreed to provide party favors.


We are also in discussions with Cuban Crafters


as well as
Avalon Cigars


Bill fromIsland Smoke Shopwill bring his El Original


"Las Jovenes from Quesada Cigars will bring some of their new cigars, too.


Victoria McKee from General Cigars


We welcome any members or entities who would like to be a part of what promises to be, if nothing else, an enjoyable time to break bread, toast and share conviviality with fine cigars made by good friends and colleagues.

A menu is available on the website, and the prices are quite reasonable for New Orleans, in general, and the Quarter in particular. There MAY be some CW specials as well.


Can't wait to see y'all down here.
