This was our second trip to The Great Smoke in south Florida. This year they held their 12th event at a new location at the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach. The place was packed to capacity. If you haven’t attended a Great Smoke before and you are a cigar afficionado you are missing out on an excellent adventure. This is a cigar smokers dream. For a base ticket of $150 you get a coupon book and a bag to fill up with 45+ great cigars from the different cigar companies in attendance, free food, free drinks, and great music. We had a blast! The Spearmint Rhino girls had games to play and were happy to pose for photos. The following day we even bought tickets to the “Big Delicious Brunch” at The Smoke Inn at Boynton Beach…for $35 we got an incredible buffet of gourmet delicacies in a first class setting AND free mimosas and Bloody Mary’s. We certainly hope to attend both events in 2019. Kids Cancer Foundation benefits from the proceeds and a special thank you needs to go out to their sponsor Baker & Zimmerman, and to Colibri & Oliva for hosting the Big Brunch.
