Last Friday, August 8, we hosted an Event featuring H. Upmann Banker Cigars, the bolder and more complex cousin of the other, more well established, H. Upmann cigar lines.
As always, there was plenty of swag to entice our customers to give this high quality, well-priced cigar a try. Altadis, makers of such fine brands as Romeo y Julieta and Montecristo in addition to H. Upmann, sent scratch-off tickets to be given away with already discounted cigar purchases. Everybody loves a scratch-off contest. The scratch-off prizes included hats, ashtrays, money clips and, the grand prize, a cigar mold full of Banker Cigars!
The day started out with a bang. Besides it being H. Upmann Banker Day, it was also Terry Hughes’ birthday. Terry’s wonderful wife, Carolyn, surprised him with a little party-within-the-party including cake and sandwiches for everyone!
Happy Birthday, Terry!
And with that the Event was off to a terrific start!
Candace Martin, the H. Upmann Banker Rep, was on hand to provide product information and assistance.
And then the funniest thing happened. The very first sale of the day, and the very first scratch-off ticket, was the Grand Prize Winner!!!
After that, things went pretty much as all events go at Mike’s Cigar Room this time of year: Great Smokes, Great conversation, golf on TV, relaxing with personal electronics, and maybe a beverage or two. Event Day at Mike’s is just a great way to spend a lazy Friday afternoon! After golf, of course, which preceded the event for some of the regulars.
If you were here, thanks, and we hope you had a good time. But, if you weren’t, there are still plenty of opportunities to get in on the fun. Please join us Friday, August 15, from 12-7, for the Alec Bradley Event! Great cigars, great company, big fun, and, always a surprise or two. See you then!
Cheers!
Mike, Nancy, Brad & Tony
