FETCH, the first ASCer-herf in Japan, was recently held in Tokyo. ASCers Tony Muller, on a family trip to Japan, and Les Smith, who works and lives in Gifu, joined me (Adrian Buehler, long-time ASC lurker) and a few local cigar smokers in Tokyo for a great day full of fun and cigars.

Here are a few photographs from the event, hope you enjoy them.

A great thank you goes out to Tony for contacting me and making a detour on his trip thus making the event possible; to Les for making a long trip on the crowded Japanese trains to Tokyo. But also a thanks to alt.smokers.cigars. Without the existence of this great newsgroup and its participants, events like FETCH would hardly be possible.

All good things come to an end. Many thanks to all the participants. I hope to see you again soon!
