Camacho Liberty 250 Events - Worth Attending?

[JEBryak]

I recently learned that about these events were you can get the Camacho Liberty 250 cigars (which appear to be event-only limited editions).

See post on Davidoff Website:

Has anyone been to one of these? If so, are they worth attending?

The post above does not give a lot of information. What time does it start? Can I just show up, or do I have to register ahead of time? I was considering going to the one on September 10th in NJ. I called the location to try to get this info, but the guy at the shop said he had no idea what I was talking about and hung up on me. So not sure what to do at this point. Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I was able to successfully purchase a ticket to one of these events! Not the one in NJ I was originally looking at, I think that one must have been cancelled or something and that is why I was unable to find any information about it. So hopefully I will get some good stuff. I will see next week.

Steve Saka was on Cigars Daily and said that Event Limited cigars aren't real. He said companies will always sell the cigars to the public in some form.

I'm sorry but this made me laugh. It just seems so New Jersey.

Yes, that's true. It would be funny to me too, if it were not so frustrating to try to get such basic info.

As much as I love both Saka and Cigars Daily, I think that is a bit of an exaggeration. Probably true most of the time, but certainly not always.

According to Saka it's all about money. Which I could see. But to me it's a risk not worth the reward to lie to your customers. So I wanna say he's wrong but I mean he knows everyone in the business. So I don't know. Maybe you're right.

Yes, there are many examples of rare, limited edition cigars which were later re-released as a second run, or as regular production (recent examples include the Tatuaje Pork Tenderloin and the Cohiba Talisman). Which does make a lot of sense from a business and consumer perspective. If an LE blend turns out to be super good and popular, why not make it more widely available and make more money? The cigar community usually view these re-releases positively. The only people who I can see being upset by them are collectors who already have the cigars, since their value will decrease by the cigar not being as rare.
