There were 32 cigar makers giving away cigars, usually one cigar per designated coupon. However, a few cigar companies gave away 2 or 3 cigars, and others provided complimentary cutters, matches, and other token items. The Cigar Aficionado tote bag came in handy when visiting the various booths to collect cigars. It took more than an hour to visit all 32 cigar displays, so there was still plenty of time to eat, drink, and enjoy all of the other amenities.
