The Idea:
The idea of a Cigar PEG was
the alcohol brain child of Ed Rigsbee & Grant Doyle. It was spring
1998, Ed & Grant were sitting in a Banff, Alberta bar, enjoying the
finest Cubans that Canada had to offer. The two
decided it was time for fun-loving speakers to expand their convention
activity horizons. Since the Monday night activity at the NSA convention
had been suspended, this left a natural opening for the evening Cigar PEG
party. The first year in San Antonio was encouraging because of the huge
turn-out; all 72 Cigar PEG T-Shirts were sold in a matter of days.
Everybody in attendance had a fabulous evening. The Cigar PEG idea must
have come at the right time as the numbers have increased every year since
it’s inception.
