Do you guys foresee there being any big smokes in San Francisco anytime soon...I believe there have been several there in the past(?).

I would think that highly unlikely to happen.

I agree, but it's happened in the past. And to be honest, with all the wealth in Silicon Valley and in the Bay Area in general, I think it could be a big success.

If the city of SF had a problem with a couple of hundred cigar smokers congregating, how about holding the Big Smoke on Alcatraz Island. Maybe in the old prison itself!

I know this is an older thread, but the California smoking laws make holding a Big Smoke impossible. I don't think CA would hold it outdoors, and even finding a city that would allow it in the Bay area could be tough.

They did hold some in San Francisco during the cigar fad of the mid 1990s.

I would be shocked to ever see another major cigar event take place in the city by the bay.

The last one I remember in San Fran was back in 1995 or 1996. It was a great Big Smoke. Sadly, the change in California smoking laws made it very hard for us to do the event there again.
