Big Smoke in Las Vegas

Cigar Aficionado magazine recently held their 12th annual Big Smoke weekend in Las Vegas during November 9-11, 2007. To say that this was a mega cigar event might be an understatement. I was privileged to attend their Friday evening Big Smoke on November 9, and I'm happy to share some of my experiences and photos from what many consider to be the Super Bowl of the cigar world. I was able to meet renown cigar makers such as Tim Ozgener, President of CAO Cigars (pictured), Rocky Patel, and several others. Unless you were one of the more than six thousand in attendance during the 3-day event, check out my Big Smoke Image Gallery to see what you missed.
