Damn, now you guys are just being mean. Trace turned me on to the 1942 last year and it’s amazing.

Well done guys, well done.

Looks epic! Wish I could have made it. I had plans in order but we were hit with a tumultuous family event.
I'm in next year for sure! Great thread and well done Gerardo, Trace and all of the attendees!!

Had an amazing time at the Vegas GTG and meeting all of you. The trip was a blast. Gerardo, thank you so much for all your hard work. Unless you come to this Vegas GTG, you have no clue how much time, effort, and dedication Gerardo puts into these events. Everything from working out dates, venues, and details with these big brands is not an easy task. Gerardo, take a bow my friend.....you deserve a standing ovation. And thanks to all of you who made this trip a memorable one. Looking forward to 2019!

And, of course, the inimitable Gerardo for his extraordinary work putting it all together.

On to 2019!!

Ditto.

Tried this one on but my wife said not to bother coming home if I bought it. So I left it in LV.
