A $100 per ticket with a grab bag of 20 cigars it might even be cost effective presuming that the vendors aren't giving away stale dog rockets and cheap cigarillos.

This is the first event like this of its kind and its an attempt to recreate the Cigar Expo in Las Vegas here in Texas. The only experiences I've had at Serious Cigars have been very positive. They hosted an event for Rocky Patel last fall and they had some great deals, I think I picked up 3 boxes of cigars, a cutter, a 2 torch butane lighter, a humidor and 15 loose cigars for about $400. I think you're right about the grab bag. I don't think the vendors there would risk their reputations by giving shitty cigars out. I also don't think they're going to be their best stoagies. I'd expect some decent quality shit, but enough that you'd feel like you're getting your $100 worth.
I know that the owner of Serious Cigar's wife also owns a wine bar thats right next to the shop, so I'm sure there will be some wine flowing and music and lots of good people. Their events have always been plenty of fun.
Also, I'm positive that the different vendors there will have some deals that will make it worth coming too. I'm really looking forward to it actually. No offense to anyone here, but I probably will not make an effort to meet anyone from here that attends, as civilian friends and family will also be in attendance. I'm sure you understand.
