Cigar Roller? Yes? No? Why?

[aimee]

Thanks so much for your thoughts. I really hope that it's in our budget to get a cigar roller. I'm sure i'll fit it in somewhere...

Jenetta or any of the girls who are having their weddings at the Dreams, are you using the female cigar roller that Tammy was talking about or are you getting a private roller to come in? Does anyone know how much this costs? Jenetta you said it was $300, I noticed when I got wedding packages from Dreams they had a $150 cigar roller set up fee. Is your $300 include this fee or are you paying the $150 on top of that? Also how much do each of the cigars cost? I would hate to make my guests pay for it, maybe I'll pay for it but I am curious as to how much it costs. If anyone has any info please let me know, this is the one area where I have not been able to find a lot of information on. Thanks!

Hey Glenda, i am opting to use the service outside of Dreams for a couple of reasons:

 

For $300, at least one box of cigars is included

For Dreams, cigars must be purchased and there were various pricing so I didn't want to go that route

Also for Dreams, I am not sure if she actually rolls the cigars or just mans the cigar display case.

 

While in Cabo I priced boxes of cigars and they were at least $150 so I figured I'd at least get a show out of it.

 

It's a small price to pay for the "wow" factor and photo opps.

So Jenetta since you are doing an outside source does that mean that you don't have to pay the Dreams that $150 fee for a cigar roller set up? And what exactly are you getting for the $300? Are you just paying for the cigar roller? Or does one box of cigars come included? Are you having your guests pay for the cigars? Do you know how much each of the cigars cost? Do you have contact info for the source you are using? Sorry to ask so many questions. I really appreciate your help!

p.s. Did your pash's arrive? I heard from the other girls but since I didn't hear from you I was starting to get nervous that they got lost. I hope they got there okay and that you like the color.

Crap!!! I am so sorry the Pash's arrived and I picked them up on Friday... on my way out of town.

 

THEY ARE FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE COLOR IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that the guests will be truly appreciative as I am for you.

 

I have been doing so much... work is a killer right now.

 

Now about the Cigar roller let me look up my notes:

No I don't have to pay Dreams anything at all

(can't find the exact notes) it's for 1-2hours, includes 1 box of cigars (10) I will email to find out if they are personalized or not. Also they are supposed to use a fancy cutter for the presentation.

 

I think I answered everything...

[JPMO]

Ooh! I got smiley happy

[Nrvsbride]

No prob Jenetta I just wanted to make sure you got them. I would have been so upset if they got lost. And I'm glad you like the color.

 

Thank you for the cigar roller info. Do you have your contact person's name and info? And do you happen to know how much each individual cigar is? Actually if you give me the contact info I will ask them all my questions. Thank you so much Jenetta!

Oh yeah I am not usre of the indiv. cost but I think I tried to negotiate $5-7 each. Most I recall were $10-$15each. Alot of my guests aren't even smoker so I anticipate only needing an additional box (if that). Whatever is left over FI wil bring back to smoke for special occasions.

I really dislike the smell of cigars. I would prefer that no one smoke at my wedding. The smell just drives me crazy. But if you like the idea go for it.

I've never smoked a cigar - but I love the idea of having this at the wedding - most of the guys would have a blast with this I think (and some of the ladies too, I am sure!)
