Date Set for New York City Big Smoke

Posted: March 3, 2008

The New York City Big Smoke will take place on November 25 at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. The event will feature two sessions: one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Online ordering will be available beginning April 15.

Last year, the Big Apple welcomed more than 3,000 cigar devotees for the sold-out Cigar Aficionado Big Smoke New York City held in the heart of Times Square at the Marriott Marquis hotel. The now not-so-smoke-friendly City that Never Sleeps returned to its plentiful puffing days of yore for one night before the long Thanksgiving weekend.

A crowd of aficionados from around the country descended on Manhattan as they have since 1993, and took over the hotel ballroom for a pair of two and a half hour sessions, filling the cavernous place to the ceiling with smoke. Music boomed and dancers gyrated to the beat, silhouetted behind neon screens, as guests treated themselves to some of the best in cigars, booze, cuisine, accessories, transportation and entertainment.
