Cigar City El Catador Club Thread

[Dino1]

According to Cigar City's twitter, "El Catador Club 3rd Edition opens up to the public on Monday, Feb 22nd at 8pm, online only. Stay tuned for more info."

I mean, they do seem to have a pretty solid website, based off of past experiences.

That's gonna be a **** show

So many index fingers will be injured.

 

[chongcheesol]

A little over 200 spots

 

[ChugLife]

A little over 200 spots

In total? How many people are in the club now?

Same amount. 1500.

How long will Cigar City keep the bottles at their brewery? Do you have to pick them up every quarter, or can you do one pick-up at the end of the year? I'm sure finding a proxy wouldn't be hard, just seeing if it's worth it for someone out of state.

I believe it's 30 days after the club ends (which I think is whenever the last bottle is released ).

Correct.

I had heard that, but wanted to make sure. Thanks for the confirmation! Now I just need to be one of the lucky 200!

Looks like the first bottle is Lorem Ipsum, as per an email I just received from El Cat. According to http://beerstreetjournal.com/cigar-city-lorem-ipsum/ it is a Brandy barrel aged barleywine.

I'm up to 7 today.

 

[Doc1]

I'm up to 7 today.

That's more communication in one day than the entirety of another unnamed beer club in the state.

 

[mixed_master7]

I'm up to 7 today.

Just hit 9.

Got my popcorn in hand and one of these set up on the F5 key:

 

[jivex5k1]

I got in. Looks like it's sold out now but I bet some spots will open after the 10 minute holding period expires.

EDIT - Yep, spots open again. It's a bit slow to load but otherwise fine.

 

[ChugLife]

My buddy got in and placed order but says payment $0.00. Will they be charging later?

Probably a bit screwy. Mine said 160 for the total charge. (it was 150 + 10 tax or some bs)

 

[mateoloco]

submitted cc info and now it says quantity in stock = 0.

bruh, paypal is the only way to pay for beer.

 

[Wagon Circler]

Well I suck again

I keep on getting emails that they are back in stock but cant seem to time it right. Just hitting back and submit over and over.

 

[tbub18]

That was fun...

 

[mateoloco]

So I paid for the membership because it was available but didn't get the card, glass, or bottle because quantity available was 0. So either I gamed the system or will be getting a refund (hopefully).

My buddy got 3 out of the 4, so not sure what that all means. Just didn't get the bottle of Loren Ipsum

 

[Gonzoillini1]

I don't know why I'm even surprised anymore, but I'm still amazed at some of the entitlement / butthurt on the Cigar City page for the open memberships.

10,000 unique IP addresses for 200 memberships, and the first comment I see is

Esteban Hudson So pretty much I just wasted an hour putting in info, setting up trustees, and getting excited just to get ******...

(even worse the guy is a chef at Stein & Vein which I've been looking forward to trying when I'm down in Tampa for Hunahpu).
