wow. just did a search and it does seem like it is gone.

Unless it happened over the weekend, I don't think there were in prohibited references.

I guess it is deemed to be in competition with CFest.

Sad.

This place is starting to be a joke. Its not even funny anymore. They are the big bully on the playgroung, like a small little get together 2000 miles away somehow is gonna effect them, very very childish

Maybe just keep it as simple as possible... "I'm organizing a rocky mtn herf in boulder on these dates...who's coming?" If there happens to be a beerfest or craft show or star trek convention or OTHER event in the sAme place at the same time...well what a happy coincidence! YOU, however, are really only concerned with getting together with some forum folks for a herf in CO.

I agree that this has gotten pretty stupid, especially in light of some of the pretty abusive diatribes STILL present on the trade board.

I had a question at the end of the second post that I didn't see the answer to.

Do you need to get there a couple hours early to get a table, or can you just show up at one and get one?

First come first serve. What do you think???

Unless you have VIP tickets. Then they might hold one for whenever you decide to arrive.

Good Luck.

I understand first come first serve. My question went to the quantity of seats they put out. I have never been, so I think it's a fair question to ask.

Wasn't trying to be a hard-azz. Will be my first year also. As it is the 3rd year and the hotels are all booked, my thought is a private table will sought after by everyone. So my suggestion... get there early.

uh-oh... this may be gone again.

Opelmanta asked me this question yesterday - Why do we continue to take down the thread. My response to him:

But if I had to guess, its because its being called a Cigar Fest. We've had issues in the past with people using that phrasing and have taken steps to stop it. CigarFest is a trademarked name for our cigar event. Allowing anyone else to use it lessens that trademark and could eventually cause it to become a generic name for all cigar events.

I know it seems like big, bad CI is beating up on little herfs around the country, but we've spent a good chunk of change getting it trademarked. There's also the possibility of someone using the name and something bad happens. It could become a reflection of CI. For example, lets say someone has a Cigar Fest in Yabippidy, KS and there's a mass murder there. Now and forever, CigarFest will have that stigma.

So my request to you is that you call it something other than a CigarFest. Then we'll be happy to keep it alive and thriving!

I guess my question would be why were we not told this about the third post into the first thread 3 or4 mos. ago? It would have squelched all this angst and speculation and saved all the info that was lost when the OP was mysteriously deleted.

All understood now. Believe the intention behind "cigar fest" is an abbreviated slang-term for "Cigar Festival". Wasn't even aware you trademarked "CigarFest" as in one-word. Big grey area here as again the intention was a slag 2-word abbreviated term for the actual name of the event.

Censorship foul.

I figured as much regarding tables, but I just wanted to be sure because we have 4 hours each way of driving on Sat. and I don't think they want to have to get up on 5 a.m. on Sat. unless they have to. Enjoy the Boulder herf and thanks for the info. 🇨🇮
