boxcars

BillRief, was looking for you, but you're right! We could've used nametags! Email me! please!

Boxcars, it was nice meeting you and your brother! Hope to see you again!

HarleyDave, enjoy your gars! 🙂

Oh, and Toje, and Penzt8, we GOTS ta do this AGAIN!

Opps, I want to thank Trish for bringing her jigglers! 🙂 ........... Hell, I want to thank EVERYONE! it was a blast!

I agree w/ all the above. Great time, and I feel lucky to have been to the CigarFest. I hope that it will be an annual event. Also hope that the CigarInternational/CigarBid folks will consider keeping any future events to about the same size. Ditto to naametags. It's also important to recognize all the hard work that went into this event....So THANKS! to all involved. Tim aka Kornazoo

Thanks!!! ALL! was great job!

"the michigan guys"

Yup.........it was GREAT meeting everyone. WHAT A BLAST! THANKS CBid!

I don't think the cigarfest could have been more perfect. My brother boxcars and I had no idea what to expect. What we found were great people from CI/CB,great people from Bethlehem, great Bunnies, great jigglers, and a lot of new friends made from Ohio,Connecticut,Jersey,Mass., and Vermont. And how can I forget...the brews and cigars were fantastic. Thought I was gonna say great again huh...Thanks to all! Can't wait til the next one!!!!!

Yawn to ALL of you from Calif.......grumble grumble grumble....

Bang-up job done by the CI guys, congrats to Keith and crew! Keith even got his mom to come to Cigarfest!Cigarfest was better than the NY Big Smokes and it was a FIRST-TIME ATTEMPT!!! My wife and I thank you! [After the event, the missus wanted her own humi; I just got done setting it up]

To the cigarbid guys I met in person, it was great meeting you all, to be able to place names, posts, and poems to faces of actual people 🙂 Some of you I've known for 4 years and just met this weekend! Next year, we need "Hello My Name Is" tags at the door.

The Bethlehem Brew Works (awesome friggin' stout) was a great suggestion, and a second home to us while we were there. We had lunch there before CigarFest, a late dinner after Cfest, and lunch earlier today before we left.

Consider 2 tickets sold in advance for next year's Cigarfest (charge my wife's card 🙂 ) and I want ticket #1 this time 😉

An award should have been given to penzt8 --this guy drove from Virginia to come to CigarFest!! THAT my friend, is dedication.

Thanks again to c-bid/ci for making Cigarfest 2004 more than worth the drive! See you all again next year!

Now I have to finish coughing and empty out my iron lung 🙂

We all had a blast. It was really satisfying for all of us, from customer service to warehouse/fulfillment to sales and marketing to accounting and to IT, to see such genuinely top notch group of guys (and gals) there. That's what it's all about. Afterwards the manufacturers unanimously commented how gentlemanly, courteous and enthusiastic everyone was, more so than any other event they'd done. Looking forward to the next one!

Yup...great job guys and I second what Heg said about the BBW...great stout and the food/service was excellent!

It was also very nice to meet Heg and his lovely wife....good people and we had some nice laughs, wish I could have meet more of you bums.

c-bid/CI people,

Did the smoke clear out of the warehouse by now? Or does it still look like a fog of war?

I think CI/CBid customers are the best in the world! You guys make this job easy!!

Thanks for coming out and having a good time with us. I know we're still talking about the good time WE had.

Hope to see you all again next time!

This was a class act all the way. Met some great folks and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The size of this event was perfect.

I just want to add that a lot of effort obviously went into this CigarFest. The size was perfect, allowing great interaction between customers and vendors. Everyone very Friendly, especially the Gurkha Rep., Rocky Patel, and the CAO guys. I sincerely hope that this was the first of many events. Because this was the first, obviously some things could be tweaked. No.1 was it was way too smokey. Not in a Big Smoke way, but in a Tobacco warehouse fire way...Too Hot. Nametags. But in the large picture, BIG THANKS To all involved
