The scene was Schatzi's on Main in Santa Monica, CA. This is our famous 'Governator's' restaurant and one of the only places in Los Angeles where you can light up and enjoy a cigar. Ah man... and what a great night it was.

Rod and his awesome girlfriend, Ashley, Darick, Sam and me got seated around 7:45pm and got to the business for the night... FOOD... just kidding :D Well, actually, we did eat first except for Strayvector who just couldn't resist lighting up immediately in one of the few places that you actually can light up here in Los Angeles.

Nice atmosphere at Schatzi's. Inside the restaurant there's all sorts of Arnold memorablia hanging on the walls. Turn the corner to the men's room and you're staring at a giant poster of Arnold in 'Pumping Iron.' That's a little creepy. But most of the other shots are fun. The food is good and no one gives you awful stares for lighting up a stogie. Did I mention that it's tough to find a place to light up in LA?

Ah...what to smoke? Between the five of us we had just about every brand represented so serious decisions had to be made. Seems like I saw a few empty bands at the end of the night (midnight) which I believe belonged to VR Famosos, Monte Edmundos, PSD4s, Party Shorts, RyJ Petit Pyramide EL... a really great selection.

What a great chance to get together with fellow CPers and enjoy cigars and cigar chat live and in real time. We chatted, we traded, we ate, we smoked. We had a fantastic FESTIBLE! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sounds like a great night. I''ll be out in Santa Monica in a few months...would love to meet up if you guys want to go out again. Whenever I am in LA I am the lone cigar smoker around, and usually just go without. Would love an excuse to not have to!
 
Well make a reservation for us for next week then! See you there :thumbs:
 
Glad to hear you had a great time!

Now we need to get a golf tourney with steak dinner set up!!!

Had a great time last night. We'll definitely have to do it again soon. Great selection of cigars, generous group, great mini herf! Restaurant was really cool. We might go back and herf with Arnold in June. :cool:

Tony, keep us posted on your visit.
 
Rod and I had a great time last night with everyone! Nice atmosphere, good smokes and awesome people. I really enjoyed myself and enjoyed my Bolivar!! We would love to do this more often...be sure to keep us updated as to when you will be in SoCal. We'd love to meet more of you!

Good people, good smokes, good times!!!! :D
 
It was great meeting StrayVector...really generous guy.

Met-up with Seadub, Rod, and CigarLady again...always a good time!

Smoked some nice cigars that I've never tried before...man, now I'm spoiled.

Heard tone-ny is coming to LA soon...we'll all need to hang out.
 
Very cool. I'm in Santa Monica every few months, I'd love to get together with you guys for a smoke sometime. Looks like you all had a good time! :thumbs:
 
Gentlemen and Lady, thank you very much for an awesome time. Can't ask for a better night...good food, good smokes and GREAT company. You Californians are waaay to generous.

Anthony, be prepared to have a great time next week. Wish I was still in the neighborhood.

BTW, that flame improved my looks, so no need for the plastic surgeon, Wilkey. Chicks dig scars.


idioted for spelling.
 
Ron.... eat less and smoke more.. you're getting a little "round" in the belly area since i last saw you... :)

I hear ya. Just about wherever I go out here I seem to be the only one lighting up a good stogie. Then of course you get the dirty looks too. Like cigars are worse than cigarettes or something.

Glad to see you all had a good time at a place that not only allows you to smoke, but welcomes you doing so. Sounds like fun times were had by all.

You're not kidding! Been a long time Matt, when you coming out West? :sign:
