There are cigar events across the country basically every weekend. Your local lounge probably holds a plethora of events throughout the year so be sure to check with them. This list, however, is the Big Papi’s of cigar events. It’s an amazing experience to be able to hang out with like minded people while smoking your favorite stogies. If you haven’t been to a cigar festival yet then make 2019/2020 your year.
