You guys/gals ever thought about hitting the road and hosting HERFS in select cities? Seems like it would be a great marketing production.

I'm sure the brick and mortar stores will be more than gracious!

Hey...it was an idea...give the kid some matches!

DMV - I never said they had to be held at the locals. Hold them at bars, restaurants, etc.

Give DMV some leeway for being so quick to criticize a suggestion.

Yeah...that'll NEVER fly in Fl nowadays...NY either...

Next "bright" idea?

Hey, DMV, if you're going to post just to be a dink, then more power to ya, I guess. The best part is, once AGAIN, you're not even giving reasons for your critique.

My question to CBid still stands.

Ryan.

I agree---sounds like a good idea to me.... would love to have a herf up here in the Twin Cities...hint hint hint, Cbid....(twin cities, twin cities, twin cities....)

There are a LOT of states that have been invaded by Nazis anti-smoking idiots and have forced their opinions upon business owners. Here in Florida where some of the biggest manufacturers call home...there's an anti smoking law forbidding business that sell food and beverages to allow smoking in the establishment. Nevermind that these very same businesses went out a few years ago and clamored for new air filtration units to comply with federal guidelines.

Dink, huh. Lay off the "horses" I think they might've jostled something loose in your skull.

DMV: Then HERFS would not be held in those states. I don't think I EVER suggested they visit EVERY state, regardless of laws/restrictions.

Go ahead and make assumptions then criticize people based on your assumptions. Its funny.

DMV: Add to the fact that cigar manufacturers are ALREADY going around hosting tastings/HERFs to promote their products (I just went to one on Saturday).

What a horrible idea. I can't believe anyone would even suggest it.

DMV: And to top it off, this thread wasn't even FOR you, so keep your comments to yourself.

and furthermore, my dad can beat up your dad.

Cigar manufacturers can hold herfs at brick and mortar stores because THEIR product is being sold/marketed or premiered.

How many posts have been altered because somebody put a product or store or anything that conflicts with CI/CBid? This is their herf. They host annual events. They have a store that manufacturers host events at too.

Why would they "alienate" customers that happen to live in states that preclude them from enjoying an activity like that?

DMV: are you a d*ck to everybody? You have a lot of friends? Good luck with that. Stay off my posts.

Alienate? Does a band not tour at all because they can't make it to every single fan's hometown?

If CI is already hosting HERFs in their retail outlet, then by your logic, should I feel alienated?

Once again, get bent, you dink.

alright, you two need to hug and make up. why don't you guys do a trade or something to lighten the mood a bit? seriously, you two are getting on to each other for no good reason at all.

one of you send the other some sticks.

now!

Ryan,

We joke about a bus trip - CigarBid Across America - but who'd mind the store (or warehouse)? We get requests like this all the time. It's a great idea, just not something that is truly feasible. But next time I'm visiting my family out in your neck of the woods, I'll be sure to bring a few extra cigars!

Thanks for the reply, Trish. Sorry you had to read through all that other crap first.

Ryan.

Yeah Trish, if he would've just written you an email we wouldn't have typed on HIS post!

DMV: email me with your snailer...
