Big Smoke Las Vegas has been the biggest celebration in the cigar industry for the last three decades. Now, as we settle into 2026, it’s time to look ahead to the fall when we’ll be commemorating the 30th anniversary of Big Smoke Las Vegas in grand fashion. Tickets are on sale now, so don’t miss your chance to be a part of this special Big Smoke before it’s too late.

The Big Smoke Las Vegas Weekend always brings big stars, from industry luminaries such as Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr., Rocky Patel, Litto Gomez, Jorge Padrón and many more, to celebrities such as Martin Kove (The Karate Kid, “Cobra Kai”) and Michael Cudlitz (“The Walking Dead,” “Band of Brothers”), who appeared at Big Smoke Las Vegas last year.

But the true stars are the cigars, of which there is no shortage at the Big Smoke Las Vegas weekend. There will be two Big Smoke evenings, on Friday and Saturday nights. During these events, the biggest cigarmakers in the world will be passing out their cigars to guests, enough to fill a Cigar Aficionado tote bag. You’ll have no problem finding a pairing partner either, as a wide array of whisky and libations will be poured from a host of spirit vendors in attendance.

Plus, this year, the seminar cigar lineup is extra special. Those who buy seminar passes will have the chance to smoke the No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 Cigars of the Year: the Padrón 60th Anniversary Perfecto, Tatuaje Black Petite Lancero and Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino Sungrown Pyramid No. 9, respectively. The Cigar of the Year is a particular rarity. This $75 perfecto is only made by two cigarmakers. It’s a 97 point, hard-to-get smoke that’s only the second perfecto shape the Padróns have ever commercially released.

During the day Saturday, the seminars will kick off, giving guests the opportunity to smoke some of the finest cigars in the world while hearing directly from industry luminaries. Take note, however, that these tickets are limited and tend to sell out fast, typically well before the event date.

This year, we’ll be returning to Horseshoe Las Vegas. Expect guests from all over the country and the globe. Last year, we had domestic visitors from places such as Washington, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas, as well as international travelers from Australia, New Zealand and Dubai, to name a few.
