Big Smoke Returning To Las Vegas In Early November

The annual Big Smoke Las Vegas has drawn cigar-loving visitors from around the globe since the early 90s, when Marvin Shanken, editor and publisher of Cigar Aficionado held the first event in New York City. Ever since, the gathering Shanken refers to as “adult Disneyland” has become a staple retreat for cigar fans of all levels, giving consumers the chance to meet and light up with the biggest names in the industry. This year, the show is coming back to Sin City, as the 27th Big Smoke will be held on Friday, November 3 and Saturday, November 4, at Resorts World Las Vegas. 

The two-day event is headlined by back-to-back nights of premium cigars and exceptional whiskies. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and receive cigars from the major rock stars of the business before strolling the ballroom in search of the perfect spirits pairing, whether it be whiskey, Bourbon, rum or even a cocktail. It’s a true good life celebration for those who wish to smoke freely and engage with like-minded aficionados. It’s a gathering that’s hard to come by in today’s restrictive climate, and one that’s not easy to forget. 

Tickets are on sale now, click here for purchasing options.

As part of the Big Smoke weekend, Cigar Aficionado will also be hosting a morning full of cigar and tasting seminars, for those interested in purchasing All-Access or Weekend packages.

Stay tuned for seminar program announcements.
