Texas Cigar Festival

So after much deliberation I decided to drop the cash on a ticket to the Texas Cigar Festival (hosted by Serious Cigars).


It was quite the experience. Upon entering the door I was given a bag of twenty-eight cigars, a cutter, a shirt and some other small crap. I was supposed to get a torch lighter but I got stiffed on that one.


Either way, the value of this cigar mix bag was totally outrageous. Here's a list of what came in it.


601 Cigars Blue Robusto
Alec Bradley Family Blend M23
Arturo Fuente Double Chateau Fuente Sun Grown
Avo No. 3
Camacho Corojo Nacinales Maduro
Carlos Torano Virtuoso Encore
Discovery Series Santa Rosa Robusto
Don Pepin Jaime Reserva Especial
Drew Estate Acid Toast
EP Carrillo Core Line Predilectos
Gran Habano #5 Blend Robusto
Illusione Avalitos
J Fuego Corojo No. 1 Delirium
Kristoff Robusto
La Aroma de Cuba Magnifico
La Flor Dominicana Ligero 400
La Gloria Cubana Serie N Glorioso
Mi Dominicana Robusto
Nestor Miranda Special Selection Pyramid
Nub Connecticut 460
Oliva Series G Cameroon Toro
Padrom 3000 Maduro
Perdomo Patriarch Churchill Connecticut
Rocky Patel Decade Robusto
Quesada Tributo Manolin
Tatuaje El Triunfador No. 2 Belicoso Fino
Xikar HC Series Habana Grande


The value of all these little bastards was around two-hundred dollars.
Free food and drink (good drinks like Glenlivet 21, Remy VSOP, Saint Arnold's Abby Normal etc. mind you) great music, and had I had someone to share it with would have been an amazing time. Even alone however it was enjoyable.


Getting all these free cigars, however, put a damper on my plans to buy the 12 Angrier Men sampler from CI.
Freakin bad ass cigars for a very low price. Check it out.

  1. Ian, I went to that event last year and loved it. The food was good and the drinks were strong and smooth, and your right the bag of smokes you get for the ticket price make it an event not to miss. No wonder they sell out every year. Next time your in Clear Lake call me and we'll burn one at the Smoke Ring. ChrisCastillo
