[...] in July I was fortunate enough to go a large cigar convention for retail tobacconists, the IPCPR. All of the Stogie Review Staff flew out to Las Vegas to cover the event as members of the Press. [...]

Glad you guys made it safe and sound. Can’t wait for the report.

Yeah, I’m flying to Philly in a week and not looking forward to the long flight. But at least it’s a nonstop.

wow, have fun there Walt and crew. Someday, I’ll have to build up enough wife good will so that I can attend a major herf like CI’s or the Big Smoke. I’ll have to do some major saving up for the Big Smoke though. Yowza. But air fare is a LOT less heh. Oh the trouble of travel and smoking

Walt – A little advice about long flights… Every 30-60 minutes, pace around the plane isle a little and stretch out. Sure, it will creep people out, but you gotta be mobile or the stiffness will kick in.

This method helped greatly on my 12 hour flight to Japan. And the staff can be understanding as long as your intentions are clear (IE you don’t fiddle with the exit doors, etc)

Jon,
I’m staying at Harrah’s. From what I understand it is practically across the street from the convention center. I haven’t ventured outside just yet to verify that though.

Where are you staying Walt ? I can’t believe that was your first flight. It must have been an experience.
