What a crew!

Looks like a fun time. Hope you had a good trip Steve.

Great looking group ! !

Steve, I know you and Mrs.S, could you please list names.


Thanks,

Ram

SteveS,

I had a great time. Thanks for the invite.

--Steve H.

It was a great time I hope that we can all do it again another time.
Jim

for an old dude you sure get around.

Damn!

I'm sorry I missed it.
Steve, I hope your trip was good, and your visit with your son enjoyable.

How was the game? You went to a doozy. Now you're familiar with the rollar coaster ride we call a team.

Again, I wish I could have had the opportunity to meet you in person.
It will happen some day, my friend.
Joe.

Thanx for the invite Steve. Looks like I missed out.

I'd like to thank all the guys and gals that showed up for the Northborough herf. I had a great time meeting new people and smoking some good cigars with y'all.

SteveS did a fantastic job of organizing the event. He came armed with a plethora of samplers, courtesy of Perdomo, as well as a boatload of the new V Vegas 'A' maduro that CBid donated for everyone to try. Steve, it was a pleasure to meet you and some of your family. I enjoyed our conversation and appreciate the cigars you gifted me.

Really wish your wife was a little more sociable, though, she is so shy and retiring I didn't get a chance to speak with her....... LOL! (The term 'Firecracker' comes to mind....)

Picture line-up, (to the best of my recall) Front row, left to right:

huttman78 (Steve, it was great to meet you), SteveS (the man who brought us all together), caddilacstyl (Joe! Good to see you again after your Denver Adventure), CEO (Bob, it was nice to meet you!), MrsSteveS (Thanks for the fun, but you really should be a little more outgoing.....), Justin (An innocent newbie - we bombed the crap out of him),

Back Row, left to right:

JTK-12 (Jim, always a pleasure to sit and have a smoke with you. Thanks for the "Special" you gifted me!), BuckyB83 (With Red Hat. Craig, as always I can expect you to smack me around with something - this time it was that massive Bouncing Bomb. Bastige!), jimbarr (Jim, good to meet you, hope we can all meet up again in the near future), gandalf907.....


Danno114 and Tailgaiter, hope to see you up there sometime in the near future. Anyone else that couldn't make Steve's herf missed a fantastic time.

Thanks again SteveS, hope to meet up with you again - maybe up in Utah..........

Just wanted to thank everyone who were able to make it
and also Cbid and Nick Perdomo for their generous gifts....The Havana House in Northboro,Ma who put up with us on a very busy Fri nite... and our host Steve S.It was a pleasure meeting all for the first time
and would love and look forward to doing this again!!
Bob L

Definitely would like to know when you're having the herf again. Let me know so I can actually attend it if I can.

From what I heard about his trip he only mentioned his venture to the ballgame. His real pleasure about the trip was not the herf (that was only second) to the Baseball Hall of Fame inductions that he really went back for. Ya I know what you mean by Mrs. SteveS (Ann) being a little more outgoing, heheheeeee!

Thanks so much to all the forementioned for a fantastic time. I wish we had a MA area email list so us locals could meet up more often. Big thanks to Steve and his gracious family for hosting the event and to all you guys for your generous gifting and most enjoyable conversation. It was my first herf and I would sure love to do something simliar again soon. Here's my email if anyone would like to get together some time: jimbarr@rcn(dot)com.

Gandalf, I'll be at Deja Brew in Shrewsbury on the evening of 8/24 bottling some porter. Stop in for a sample if you'd like.

TOP!

Some good old timers (in CBid history not necessarily of age) in the pict that don't post here anymore.

are they all in Retirement Facilities now drooling ?


wheel,

Wait is that Saka.

Nope not Saka.

SteveS got Cbid and Nick Perdomo to donate a bunch of smokes, samplers, swag and stuff for this mini unofficially sponsored herf.

This was way back when... The 5 Vegas A's were just recently released. If my memory serves me, C-Bid sent a bunch of 5 Vegas, some other samplers, shirts, hats and stuff. I think Perdomo sent some of their newer blends at the time - Reserve Ltd Golf and/or Estate Seleccion Vintage and/or Edicion de Silivo and some swag.

Good time was had by all.

Couple of familiar faces from the hyannis herf, also a great time!
