Come on folks at Cigar Aficionado.... isn't it about time for a Canadian Big Smoke???? There are lots of great places in the Toronto area to hold such an event.... you can even hand out Cubans!! The time has come.... hasn't it??
Look at the ads in CA, ever seen a cuban CC cigar ad in there? This is a marketing tool to the Dominican Smoke and other cigar producing markets-- as well as a marketing tool for a great market share of the clientele who buy cigars. All about marketing and $$$.
If they do have dinners it will be like the dinner of the century with auctions and such, and Canada (Percentage) is realtively small number of smokers as to Great Britian or other EU countries, not to mention that for Internation travel, EU communities are often hubs of the commerce and logistics.
Then watch this... http://projectboil.pixel10.co.uk/posting/Posting.html Thanx to Oscuro XX for posting this link... ----------------------------- "Un día sin los puros es como un día sin el sol." "A day without cigars is like a day without sun."

This question was asked many moons ago on the older version of these board's with the first year or so of them being around (To bad CA never saved those diccussion on the old forum's purely has a reference). Ca gave their reson for not having a Big Smoke Canada was an is. That they couldn't have the US manufacters there because of copy right issues between the Non-Cuban brands and Cuban Brands. And Cubatabcco (before Altadis S.A.) didn't do those type events outside of Cuba. So in other words it would be to much of a pain in the butt to do a Big Smoke on the scale they are put on in States. CA has only really one thing involing Cuban cigars in it past. And that was a Nights to Remember Charity in Paris back in the '90s.

thank you for answering the question clearly and articulately. It is refreshing to see a clear answer to questions without name calling or country bashing
