Not that I remember, but AI was part of that toast across the world. I have a huge mug hat from that day. :thumbs:fllbrent said:A year or two ago GUINNESS had a toast world record thing??? Maybe this was part of the record attempt?
Ludwig's got it right.Ludwig said:Heres the deal, as I bought 2 tickets to this toast at $50 a piece. You got 1 Opus X un-released size, and 1 Diamond Crown un-released size. At a given time everyone would lightup at the 2500 authorized Opus X dealers. The proceeds go to the Cigar Family charity foundation for less fortunate childern in the Dominican Republic so they can build schools, give medical care...etc.
If anyone wants these cigars I can get you a pack, they run $50 and my smoke shop has a few leftover, its not cheap but at least you know you are donating money to a charity.
Join the Fuente and Newman families on November 22, 2003 for the world's largest cigar toast to benefit the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation. Over one hundred smokeshops have been selected to host this exclusive Cigar Family event.
At 7 p.m. EST (4 p.m. PT), over 5,000 cigar enthusiasts, representing all 50 states, at the same exact time, will raise their cigars in a toast to the people of the Dominican Republic who have worked so hard to provide us with the best cigars in the world.
The Cigar Family Toast Across America will ultimately raise over $250,000 for the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation which recently purchased 23 acres near the town of Caribe to develop the first Cigar Family Community Complex. This complex will include a new school, medical facility, adult training center, youth recreational facility, and more. The children's many needs have inspired the development of this Cigar Family Community Complex.
This complex would not have been possible without the support and guidance of the Instituto Dominicano de Desarrollo Integral, Inc. (IDDI), our partners on this project in the Dominican Republic. Created in 1984, IDDI is one of the principal community development organizations in the Dominican Republic. They often collaborate with various entities of the Dominican Government, as well as national and international corporations.
