Some of this year's guest list included Jon Huber (Crowned Heads) , Matt Booth (Room 101), Frank Herrera (La Caridad del Cobre), Sean Williams (El Primer Mundo), and Steven Ysidron (Savinelli). There were also everyone's favorite reps such as Zev and Dave of Drew Estate, and Allan of Oliva and a great deal of people who enjoy a good herf. This list is not exhaustive by any means, it's just that there were so many people there.

The event started on Friday and the day culminated with a trip to watch the Chattanooga Lookouts, the local minor league baseball team. Saturday was the big day since most people were not at work. There was the midday gathering at Burns East, where we helped Erin Park (@boxprezprincess) celebrate her birthday and saw Jon Pelham walk away with about 60% of everything in the raffle (followed by Kristy Lyda who walked away with 30%). Then the 2nd session was at Burns Downtown for a liquor tasting. Finally the night wrapped up at the club, Envy, for the afterparty which was sponsored by Savinelli (Thanks Steven). It was there that we discovered it was also Matt Booth's birthday, and the Jager commenced to pouring. Kind of reminded me of when I hung out with LMFAO a couple of weeks ago. Do I hear "Shots?"
I will admit that I didn't take too many pictures mostly because I was enjoying myself, but I did take some. I knew that there would be several that would pop up since Burns had a dedicated photographer running around. I also got video of Matt from Burns giving thanks to all the cigar industry guys, which was echoed by the crowd. I have this to say about the event, if you're passionate about cigars, then this is family. Make plans to come next year, for it will definitely be bigger and better!
