Don Rolando Reyes, Sr.  I think he's seen it all.  But I'm never 'star-struck' and wouldn't just want to meet him at some in-store appearance or smoke event.  Rather, I would want to sit down with him one-on-one for a real conversation while enjoying a long cigar.

I can assure you that if you wanted a long cigar, he's the guy to roll it... :biggrin:

I'd like to meet Kaizad Hansotia simply so I could punch him in the nuts.

 :lmao:  :lmao:

E.P. Carrillo.  Pete Johnson, I think.  And maybe Dion Giolito, though he's probably a bit too much of a trip.

I think that either Johnathan Drew or nick Perdomo would be interesting guys to have a beer with.

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
For this time tomorrow I may die

After reading that I want to change my vote. I vote for the "Smoking Hot Cigar Chick" because I want to punch her in the face!  :puncher:  One of the most irritating people I've ever seen.  :hityou:

Whose humidor would you like to rummage through?

Fidel Castro's.  I know he quit smoking, but word is he still has his collection and is even still adding to it.

Johnathan Drew would be cool. (Based on who I've met already)

Fidel Sounds Nice, like Nate i've met Eddie Ortega (Very Nice Guy), Pete Johnson (Cool as Hell!),
and i saw/stood near "Rocky Patel". (I really didn't have much to say to him...) He walks around
with this air of superiority that i personally don't care for.

I'd like to meet Dion Giolito (his knowledge of the manufacturing/blending of cigars is amazing)
                      Janny Garcia (Who Doesn't)
                      Arielle Ditkowitch (Brand manager for Miami Cigars)
and:               Kassandra Padron (the finest female Padron as far as i'm concerned!)
                     Jaime Garcia... (next cigar Czar!)
If smoking cigars is on the Darkside, I don't ever
want to see the light!!!

Okay, since this thread got zombie up to current day because of some spam removal, I thought I'd add my 2 cents: I'd like to smoke one with Kyle Hoover and Chris Kelly over at Ezra Zion cigars. Their cigars are tops and they themselves seem to be fine upstanding citizen cut-ups.

Wow, its been 7 years since this thread was started, and since then I've met dozens of these "celebrities", from in-store appearances to much more personal dinners or sharing cigars, cocktails and stories.  These guys (and gals) are much more accessible nowadays, and most of them are down-to-earth, hard working folks. There are 3 that I would like the opportunity to sit down with one-on-one to break bread and share a cigar and some stories (not just a meet and greet):   Henke Kelner, Carlito Fuente, and Don José "Pepin" Garcia.

The one that I am remiss that I never met is José Padrón. RIP

i agree that i wouldn't know what to say to most of these folks but Saka and Pete Johnson seem like regular enough guys and i bet sitting next to one of them in a lounge would be like hanging with a regular dude.

Henke and Klaas are both exceptional people in the industry. They were the most knowledgeable people I've ever met in the cigar industry. First time I've been "star struck" and didn't know what to say - but they carried such a professional presence that it actually made it easy to talk with them.

Pete Johnson is a great, funny dude. I'd compare meeting Pete like meeting someone on this forum that you respect. No lag in conversation and just fun to be around.

Maybe that guy from Xyphos. Seems like a OK fellow.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.
