Maturing Primate
I'm getting married in August 2009 in Macungie, PA at a ski resort and one of the things that I definitely wanted was a Cigar Roller at my wedding (it's one of the things on a very short list that I actually have to do). I have a solid crew of friends (about 8-10 of us) that are together frequently throughout the year and are all avid smokers like myself. So I wanted to have something special to reflect both mine and my fiance's lifestye and to allow our guests to enjoy it with us.
So far I am hitting a wall. I tried Cigars Int'l (their store is close to my event) but they don't have any rollers that they work with for special events outside of ones that they conduct. I've also looked into CF Dominicana (Cigar Catering) from the web and they work in Philly but are pretty pricey ( 2hrs. for roller, 50 cigars=$975).
My next course of action is to inquire at my local B&M. I've searched the internet and have read posts about people hiring a roller for $400-$600 for 50 sticks and 3-4 hrs. or something. Though I'm not exactly in a great location (New Jersey) to find a good amount of companies that would offer this, and my event is in PA off of the Northeast extension.
Anyone on CS ever done this before? Do you have some ideas or information you can help a fellow BOTL out with? Share your story or ideas.
If I cannot find a roller my next option would be to buy a couple of premium boxes and create my own "Cigar Bar". I don't envision more than 30-40 individuals that would want to smoke (that may even be a high number). We're expecting about 150-160 to attend.
Thank you. :tu
