There was definitely merchandise available for purchase. Several of the booths were just handing it out. I walked away with some nice torches and hats for free. The Fuente booth had some cool stuff for sale..hats, pictures etc. Cigar Aficionado booth had T shirts for $20 when you took a photo with the cabaret ladies.

Some booths had cigar boxes on display...I didn't notice anyone purchasing cigars. I was so focused on which line to join and what tickets to have in hand that I didn't have time to slow down and browse. That's a little unfortunate, but I was alone. I had to focus in order to collect my cigars before the night ended...lol

Enjoying Big Smoke is more than just the event itself. The entire Vegas strip is crawling with cigar events and cigar culture for the week. Some of my highlights were bumping into David Savona and Gordon Mott enjoying cigars around the pool at the Mirage, Cigar Vixen, Carlos Fuente Jr at Rhumbar and meeting him again at Casa Fuente one night. You will likely have the opportunity to meet some really cool industry people.

Enjoy!!....and yes. Line up early.
