I'm sure you have had suggestions on this before. Any plans to expand the Big Smoke to other cities? I was thinking Scottsdale would be a great venue to host a Big Smoke. You could hold it during the Winter months when the tourist population is high and it would be very enticing for everyone living in the North to come down for the event and weather. I know Vegas already has all of this but thought I would throw the idea out there. Of course, I have a selfish reason for this as well.

I agree with Hype, I personally think the Dallas-Fort worth region would be such a great option! I'm sure you'll get great turn out and revenue, and the fall is a fantastic time to do it with fair weather, not much rainfall, and good sunny skies. While football and baseball season's going plus six flags are in full swing. Not to mention packed conference centers during that time. You'll have many visitors packing the north Texas region during that time.

We've had Big Smokes in Dallas, and personally I'm a huge fan of Scottsdale, but the smoking laws in both cities make it difficult, if not impossible, for us to have a Big Smoke there now. Smoking bans are the biggest obstacle to our events. If you think it's hard to enjoy a cigar in a bar, just try having a few thousand people do it all at the same time!

Try to get State of Arizona's permission but one of the cities in Arizona would be awesome to have a Big Smoke event so my fiancee and I can go! Chandler, Scottsdale, Phoenix or Mesa. There are a lot of cigar shops in Arizona and I'm sure a lot of them would love to participate in the event.

That must be way before my time as s cigar smoker. It's such a shame that smoking bans are all over the place now.
