Big Smoke Florida Coming This May To Miami Beach
If you’re hunkered down in the northeast, begrudgingly waiting out yet another massive snow storm, nothing sounds better than a cigar party on Miami Beach in May. Even for those currently able to find refuge in sunshine, such a gathering is about as good as it gets for aficionados. The good news for all parties is the chance to make that a reality is here. Big Smoke Florida is returning on Friday, May 8, at Eden Roc Miami Beach. Tickets have just gone on sale, so don’t miss your chance to escape to this cigar paradise before it’s too late.
Big Smoke Florida will be a one-night event, an evening in the backyard of the some biggest cigarmakers in the world, many of whom will be in attendance. Expect an unforgettable night of world-class smokes, premium spirits, great food and even better company. Over 20 cigarmakers have already committed to attending and handing out smokes, and more are expecting to sign on.
Here’s who you can expect to be there, with more companies to come:
A.J. Fernandez, Aging Room, Alec Bradley, Artesano Del Tobacco, Arturo Fuente, CAO, Casa Carrillo, Cohiba, H. Upmann, J.C. Newman, La Aroma de Cuba, La Aurora, La Flor Dominicana, Macanudo, My Father Cigars, Nub, Oliva, OZ Family, Padrón, Rocky Patel, Romeo y Julieta and Tatuaje.
The evening begins at 5:30 for VIP guests, who get extra time to stock up on cigars before the general admission crowd makes their way at 6:30, continuing on until the night’s conclusion at 9:00. Any Big Smoke veterans understand the advantages of a head start, but for Big Smoke Florida, Cigar Aficionado is adding another special perk for VIPs.
