    My wife and I thought about going, but someone on here said some things about it that made me re-think it. It's still appealing though, but I'd rather go to SDCC or something.... Plus it would be really spendy it's like 500 a ticket and though I would like to meet the blenders and what-not I can't really justify the price, I mean I could spend 500 dollars, 1000 (for both of us) on cigars that I know I like, hell that would buy my humi, and a few more boxes... lol

    it's 500 if you buy a ticket for both days, only $240 for the seminar and big smoke event.

    I still think that I wouldn't want to be there...

    Not that I have anything against CA but I can just picture all the people there and the way there magazine has a rolex and every other expensive thing advertised every other page that there would be some TRUE BOTL and some TURD BOTL...

    Go watch the movie on their website about them smoking "Aged Cigars" and they have 4 brands that aren't made anymore ranging in 6-15 years old and not only do they just stick a flame in the cigar's craw and suck away, but they also smoke 2" of the first 2 brands and then light up the other two just torching and sucking...

    Now, I'm not a senior editor or anything, but when you have a cigar that is out of production and 15 years old, you treat that thing better than your kids, not like a step-child and you DON'T smoke all four at once! How can you taste the subtle flavors???

    I've checked the CA forums from time to time and they have some good content but I just can't be at an event where there will likely be men and women smoking $50 cigars chewing on the end and thinking they are a status symbol and then claiming how "GREAT THE CIGAR I JUST HAD WAS!!! I THINK IT WAS AN OPUS TEN... I DUNNO, BUT BOY WAS IT EXPENSIVE!!!"

    Obviously you know nothing...not surprising since you are merely a cigar.com forum member. The Opus gets better as the number goes down, a truly amateur mistake and one I'd expect to find on such a forum. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got an Opus One that I've been using as a doorstop for 12 years, it will be momentous, certainly.

    They are best if you bite the cap off, prior to lighting with a zippo.

    I find that dipping the end of the cigar in lighter fluid and then lighting with burning plastic really brings out the flavor. Just my two cents. You'll have to excuse me, my personal helicopter just landed. Ciao

    If you tie one of your cigars on the skid of the helicopter, it really takes on a great flavor of atmosphere, I never fly anywhere in my twin engine Cessna without hooking at least a few Opus Ones on the fuselage.

    Try smoking a Opus null that is humidified by the sweat of your own personal honduran boy that carries you everywhere... THAT IS LIVING!

    What are you, one of those snooty, holier-than-thou cigar smokers? No thanks pal, we're trying to keep it real around here.
