Road Trip for the Tiki Bar

Excitement has built for months surrounding the next week...four of the original members of the Tiki Bar smoking group will be embarking tomorrow on a road trip. Spanning the eastern part of the United States, from Nashville, Tennessee to the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. Lasting a full 7 days and 6 nights...we’re headed to CigarFest.

Members of the Tiki Bar group have been to the Big Smoke in Las Vegas, as well as CigConWest, but this will be the first trip for any of us to one of the meccas of the cigar industry in the United States: the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania. Cigars International has been sponsoring CigarFest for several years and because of my own physical proximity to the event (not close, but closer than I was before) as well as the price break over the Vegas Big Smoke event, we decided to give this party a try.

I’ll be meeting the other guys in Nashville tomorrow to start the trip. We are stops at a couple distilleries in Kentucky on the way and intend to hit every single event that CigarFest has to to offer. And faithful Tiki Bar readers will be dragged along for the ride as I post road-reports every evening--at least if I’m still conscious enough to post them every evening! I’ve worked overtime on the blog, too, to make sure that our regular publishing schedule will be maintained while this road trip is ongoing. So make sure to stop by and see what we’re up to each day this week, as well as checking out the cigar reviews that will be published. You can also follow out goings-on on Twitter (@dmjones1009 or @keith1911).
