Joe, With the economy the way it is, most of the enthusists have stayed interested but rely on the local Cigar Lounges and golf courses to enjoy the cigars. I plan on revamping the website in a few weeks and will layout our plan. We have officially received IRS notification that we are a legit 501-C-7 Non Profit organization so things may a little smoother. Thanks for the inquiry. We will continue to hold HERFS and other associated events. Mike

Is there ANY movement towards getting a location for the club? It seems things have died off with no real activity including herfs and bar-b-q's let alone a building location.

Thanks Guys! Tim and I enjoyed the time out your way and will most likely come out to visit really soon! May even bring the golf clubs!

Hey guys, just checking in to see how things are going for y'all. I had the pleasure of meeting Tim and Mike at The Churchill Society in Martinsburg earlier this year, look forward to next time. Good luck with MCL!

Tim, Mike. It was a pleasure meeting you guys today. Can't wait till we can get together and do it again. ~Rodney "SmokinAFuente"

We are going to start initial organizational planning for the Wine & Puff Event. Details will be posted on the Web Site Shortly.

Hey guys, I've been out of town for a while. What is the latest regarding a wine hurf and what is going on with finding a club location.

Be safe over there, we look forward to lighting up a few when you return. Take care of the bad guys over there and haul ton's of gear safely.

I can't wait to come home from Iraq and see how the club has grown since I left. I am also excited to join in some of the events after I come home also.

The MCL is ready for Summer! We had a great showing for the golf outing. Weather cannot stop die hard Golfers! We will be planning a few outstanding events for the summer.

Hey guys. Did we ever get that link, from the Gazette, to the pictures they took at the cigar-b-que? I thought the photographer was going to hook us up with it.

This is what we all been waiting for. I look forward to talking with you all about the club.

Greetings to cigar lovers everywhere! I'm really looking forward to the Monocacy Cigar Lodge becoming a successful and enjoyable club for many years to come. I'm proud to be associated with helping to get it started. See you at the First Annual Herf Golf Tournament!

Thanks to Greg for hosting the Cigar-B-Q. WE had perfect weather and a nice turn-out. We added 4 more members....thanks! We are growing and optimistic. Next up the Golf Tourney

Yes, I spruced up the web site. It will be adding a photo page once we take some pix at our upcoming events. Looking forward to the Cigar-B-Q! Let's get a nice turn-out!

WooHoo!!!!! Finally, a cigar club in Frederick. You mentioned on your forum site that you hope to model on the Metro Cigar Society in NJ....my brother in law was a founding member of that club, and if you've never been there, it's great! The members did all the work and put together a really fantastic place for the guys, and they meet regularly. He takes me over every time I'm up to visit (every three months or so), and I've wished so many times that there were something comparable in this area. Please, contact me and count me in.

Joe, Yes, this is the right site. We're still in the process of formalizing some this, including membership forms. I'm going to be getting a membership form uploaded some time this week on the website and also sending it out to the e-mail group. Initial membership will be $50, but that's just to help us get an operating budget going. Once we locate the location that we're going to open at (hopefully in the fall), then membership will increase in order to cover rent and overhead. The goal is to have a lodge open before next winter. Thanks for your patience. you can e-mail me clausewitz36@yahoo.com with any questions. Also, several usually meet at the Davidus store in Urbana on Saturday at 1:00. Greg

I am interested in joining. I have sent previous e-mail and have heard nothing. Is this the correct site or should I be looking at "Thecigarlodge" in Yahoo Groups site?

We are now official. A Non-Profit Organization. I don't see any activity yet on the forum

We are now also registered with Google and should appear when doing a google search on our Club name 'The Monocacy Cigar Lodge". See you on the weekend sometime soon.

I set up a forum site to do some threads and discussions. I'll see how it goes

Greg- Best wishes to you and your friends in starting your club. I look forward to comig over and enjoying a smoke with you. Best Regards, Dale

Very interested in obtaining more information

This is the first post. I will see how this goes and may need to revise the rules. We are a new club and look forward to our comrades across the country to pitch in and help us through our infancy!
