C.I.G.A.R. / Devil's Weed Event

Greetings Friends,

I wanted to post some pics and a link to a photo gallery of a cigar event we did with C.I.G.A.R., San Antonio's premier cigar shop on January 24, 2009. This was a great event and I was amazed at the layout of C.I.G.A.R.

I want to thank Allen Shelton for taking the great pictures of this event. Check out his website at www.allenshelton.com as he takes beautiful photos. And again, check out the gallery for all of the photos. Thanks, Allen!

part of the great spread

Stan, Jimmy and Joe command quite a ship and it was enlightening to talk to San Antonio's smoking crowd. The food and drinks were a welcome addition as well. We tasted our limited line, the LP-1803 (we are still backordered on our Cabinet Selection) and the people embraced this blend. Many smokers described the blend as a mild-to-medium in strength cigar with more earthy notes (cocoa and coffee were some descriptors used).

the setup for the DW AshWar contest

I also have to commend the guys for a unique side event called "AshWars." This is a mini-contest (that developed from ash-flicking wars between the staff) open to any smoker in which the contestant builds an ash and stands behind a marked line. At this time he aims for a cup (in our case, 2 pitchforks held a cup together) and flicks the ash towards the cup. The person who flicks the cigar ash in the cup wins a lottery ticket for a particular prize; during this event, only one person successfully threw an ash in the cup and won the prize.

San Antonio is lighting up the Devil's Weed

Anyhow, this was a great event and Devil's Weed is proud to partner up with C.I.G.A.R. I hope to come back soon and party with the C.I.G.A.R. crew.

Saludos,
Luis

Thanks Luis! Had a great time as well. LOVE the cigars. They are the perfect size, wrapper shade, strength and price point (even after the new tax!) Thanks again for the kind words and hope to see you back in San Antonio SOON!
