Pittsburgh Launch Party

[Len___T]

What can I say...Me and Jen drove up from Ripley, Wv...We got up there a little after 2...Stopped and ate at Primanti's cuz of gunbuyer76's suggestion...Very good food...Went up to Old Allegheny and walked in...Pure heaven lol...I had never seen a walk in like that...And the owner Steve was an outstanding host...Very helpful and extremely nice...Well we checked out the store and just chatted around a bit waiting for the festivities to begin...Sam (gunbuyer) showed up and I got to meet him and Sonny (from another site)...Wonderful botl's...

Sam (Leccia) showed up a little after 4 I think in the mini...That is one sweet ride man...Got to meet Sam L. and talk to him a bit off and on thru the course of the nite..He was a busy man last nite lol...I can see that he is truly passionate about both his cigars...cigars in general...and his "fans"...He was rolling nubs,thank you for mine it was great, forgot to say ty last nite Sam...sorry..And he was talking to ppl while he was rolling...answering questions...explaining the way to roll cigars....etc...this went on the whole nite...And he would answer the questions all over again...Bought my box of Habano 460's...Got a shirt...a hat...and some stickers...The wife (Jen) claimed the hat(sam gave it to her personally :) and the shirt...Sam was gracious enough to take the time to sign my hat I won...My box of NuB's...and Jen's shirt...The biggest thing to me was that Sam would actually talk to ya if ya asked him something..We also got to meet Jose Oliva and Dave Wagner...Jose also signed my box of Habanos..And to say I was impressed with the way they (Sam..Jose..Dave) are when it comes to ppl...customers...and cigars would be an understatement...If I were to cough up my lungs tomorrow and not be able to smoke cigars I would point ppl in their direction just because of the way they are...Also I would highly recommend the Allegheny to anyone as well...Steve was an amazing host too...Truly an amazing nite...And since it was my very first event...EVER!!!! I am now truly hooked..And am looking forward to many more...I also got to meet HatManDrew...Another outstanding botl as well...There were many more ppl we got to meet and if I forgot to include ya plz forgive me as it wasnt done maliciously...Thank you Sam...Jose...Steve...and everyone else that was involved in the event last nite and putting it together...Truly a class act and classy people as well...Len and Jen Travaille

Good sticks, good people, great events!

hey len thanks for the shout, it was great meeting you... i was glad to meet everyone else there as well, very cool time...before I started following nub, I was very green in my understanding and appreciation of cigars, and the guys on here and at the party (or in len's case, at both!) have been very helpful in getting me up to speed and in the know!

I have known Sammy for more than 10 years now, the person you met is genuine which is why he is so fun to be around. He really does enjoy meeting new people and talking to them. I'm glad you got a chance to meet him.

Now if only I could get a chance to get a NUB.
