Spend three mornings, Tuesday-Thursday (December 2-4) in the board room focusing on the health & wellness of your business/career and how we can innovate to accelerate growth & revenue…Arrive Monday, December 1 and depart Friday, Dec 6.
This is a (closed) invitation-only elite speaker retreat for Cigar PEG High Rollers, 2025 Benefactors, and Cigar PEG Staff.

2025 Group Meals Information:

Spouses are invited to group lunches and dinners. Participation is optional. Because of the challenges in Key West of large group events, if you commit to attending…you need to show up. As for the finance, Ed will pay for each meal, divide it equally among the number dining and bill everyone after the mastermind is completed. Lunches will be planned daily. Dinners are planned: Monday through Thursday, generally at 7 PM.

This event helps you to grow your business by taking time to “sharpen the axe” incorporating the help of other high-level speakers. Many advanced-speaker attendees have commented on the high-value accelerated business growth strategies they have received from masterminding with other more advanced speakers. If you register, lock the date on your calendar as this event will be more important to you than accepting a booking. Here, we will draw a line straight to the money. And, you’ll have some fun and build closer relationships with your peers in helping you to (with leads) find new and more profitable business. (Spouses are welcome to join in at meals and during social time…but this IS NOT a plus-one invitation for your friends.)

There is a $300 (non-refundable & non-transferable) registration for each attendee and it is compulsory to stay a minimum of four nights at the event venue (rooms @ $399 per night, resort fee waived). Attendees will be responsible for their travel, lodging, and meals. Yes, please do bring your spouse/significant other (not plus-one friend). Spouses and significant others will not attend sessions in board room but are welcome to attend group meals.

Mastermind days: December 2-4, 2025. We will be at the Opal Key Resort & Marina (previously the Margaritaville and before that, the Westin) in Key West. Hotel room booking information and link at bottom of page. Staying a minimum of 4 nights is manditory to register and attend. If anybody leaves early and the Cigar PEG gets hit with an attrition non-performance penelty…the offending attendee will be billed for the room night(s).

Plan for Monday 12/1/24 (arrival) and Friday 12/5/24 (departure). Three business-growth mastermind mornings (Tuesday-Thursday) and three afternoons of R&R…we generally reconvene in the spa. Group lunch and dinner is not mandatory…but why wouldn’t you want to break bread with your colleagues?

Each attendee will have the opportunity to share their “growing the business” success secrets or ask others to help solve a challenge.
Learn from the greats…$300…Register for 2025…this is non-refundable and-non transferable.
