Bigger, Stronger, Better. CIGARfest^® is back - the unrivaled King Kong of all cigar herfs. Nowhere else can you meet over 40 of the biggest cigar makers and manufacturers in one day while sampling the finest of their wares. Every last ticket has sold and on Saturday, May 1st 2010, three thousand certified cigar lunatics will gather together in the Pocono Montains of Pennsylvania for the best damn CIGARfest yet.

Here’s the scoop. Before even stepping foot on the event floor, we’ll be greeting you with a commemorative humidor stuffed to the gills with 20 premium cigars, a commemorative ashtray, a commemorative Colibri Grip cutter, and other goodies to boot. There, you’ve already covered the cost of admission and we ain’t even started yet! Then the floor is yours to access 40+ additional premium cigars, micro-brew samples, liquor samples, live bands, a delicious BBQ, amazing raffle prizes out the wazoo, silly deals, and 3,000 fellow members of CI Nation having the grandest of times.

In short, prepare for an incredible weekend of camaraderie, cigars, eating, drinking, and all-around debauchery.
