I travel a bunch but sounds like a decent idea to me. Let's see if some other Michigan TRFers weigh in.

I am in SE Michigan - metro Detroit area.

I'm in Metro Detroit. Perhaps a cigars, drinks and Rolex GTG? Saw a group of about 16 guys at Churchhills Cigar bar in Birmingham and thought it would be a great place for some type of GTG.

New member here, been looking for awhile. I'm in Ann Arbor, I'd be down for a GTG as well, I think AA is a great location since we have a variety of places all concentrated in one place.

Seems like most of us are from around the ann arbor area as well. I just work here so i'm not to familiar with good places for gatherings here. What would you reccomend?

There's the cigar shop on the corner of Packard and Stadium - I've never been in, so I can't say how good of a place it would be.

There's a cigar bar right under Chop House, I believe its rated 27/30 Zagat? Multiple high end restaurants - Melange, Chop House, Cafe Zola, The Earle, Logan, Westend Grill.
Tons of options. This is all within 5 min walking distance of one another. Even a Rolex AD smack dab in between them haha.

The Huron River Hunt Club in Farmington is having a cigar night June 12. Unfortunately I only have one spot open in my reservation. PM me if you're interested and I'll get you the details.

Anybody interested in meeting up for dinner? I'm thinking:

J. Alexander's West Bloomfield
7440 Orchard Lake Rd
W Bloomfield, MI 48322

My work schedule is changing so I'd be free June 7, 8, or 9 - if people are interested.
