Here’s something that you can plan to do in the next couple of weeks – even less, actually. Cigar Aficionado is holding its annual Big Smoke Las Vegas Weekend from the 13th of November to the 15th of November. This is the 14th year that the event is going to be held – a testament to the huge success that it has achieved.

This year, Big Smoke is going to be held at The Venetian Resort, Hotel, and Casino. What can you expect from the event? On Friday and Saturday night, from 6:30pm to 9:30pm, traditional Big Smoke Evenings will be held. Participants can mingle and meet likeminded people and enjoy excellent cigars, drinks, and food together. The best thing about these evenings is the wide array of cigar manufacturers, which will offer one sample cigar to each participant. Each sample is free, although in actuality it is covered by the ticket price. There will be 25 producers present in this year’s event. Some of these are Prensado, Arturo Fuente, Ashton, CAO, Carlos Toraño, Casa Fernandez, Casa Magna, and Cusano 18 – Double. Seminars are also going to be held.
