What Cigar Celebrity would you want to meet?

cmmayo · 02/06/2011 01:25 AM

I have only personally met Eddie Ortega from EO Cigars. The person in the industry that I'd REALLY like to meet is Alejandro Martinez Cuenca of Joya de Nicaragua.

Who would YOU want to meet?

Never really thought about it, but I guess maybe the Garcia family and more specific Janny Garcia.

Whose humidor would you like to rummage through?

ljlemer · 02/06/2011 02:23 AM

I enjoy photo ops with cigar celebrities, but wouldn't know what to talk about. It would be a free sample discussion also inquiring about hot torcedoras.

Janny is quite the woman, there's no doubt to that.

Not sure this will show up, but her FB page is: http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1402399592

That doesn't look right either. Did those urls work for anyone?

I'd like to meet Jaime Garcia. If I wasn't married maybe I go with the smoking cigar chick.

Without a doubt, Rolando Reyes. I spect he's got some good tales to tell...

No, the links don't work...

I was thinking maybe Bob Cordell or someone along those lines. Maybe not spend too much time but a quick visit might be OK.

Herfin' Chef · 02/06/2011 07:54 AM

AJ Fernandez, Don "Pepin" Garcia, and Rocky Patel. (in that order)

All three will be at CI's "Cigarfest" this year. (as will I)

I smell photo-opp's.....stay tuned

I would like to met Nick Perdomo, I've already met Litto Gomez and Jorge Padron

Brlesq · 02/06/2011 09:39 AM

Don Rolando Reyes, Sr. I think he's seen it all. But I'm never 'star-struck' and wouldn't just want to meet him at some in-store appearance or smoke event. Rather, I would want to sit down with him one-on-one for a real conversation while enjoying a long cigar.

I'd like to meet Kaizad Hansotia simply so I could punch him in the nuts.

I've had the opportunity to meet Rocky Patel, Eddie Ortega, and Pete Johnson. They are all really nice guys and very down-to-earth, although I had the best discussion with Pete. Out of the people I haven't met, any of the Padron family would do.

Yeah. For me it would likely turn into a staring contest ... me looking at him waiting for him to say something ... him looking at me waiting for me to say something. I'm not very good in celebrity social situations.

Only if I didn't have to hear her annoying voice.
