About Us

In the Beginning...

New York Cigar Fest (NYCF) began as a weekend long Experience in 2019 affectionately known as New York Cigar Weekend (NYCW).  The illustrious weekend was aimed at bringing together the rich culture of Cigar Smokers throughout New York’s unique boroughs.

Taking place the last weekend in August,  the gathering was designed to celebrate cigars and spirits with hard-to-acquire or access venues and brands.  Bringing in an elite Experience that leaves a lasting impression as it elevates each guest’s palette and mindset. 

The Evolution

The third year of New York Cigar Weekend gave birth to a new form of greatness, a month-long festival aptly named New York Cigar Festival.  The festival kicks off each month in August with the usual suspects including cigar retailers, distributors, spirit brands and cigar enthusiasts. Keeping with the original theme of NYCW, the month-long reincarnation begins with pop-up experiences held at carefully selected venues which host educational presentations, premiere tastings, podcasts, and giveaways.

NYCF concludes with the inaugural weekend which was originally created to give our sophisticated cigar aficionados a place to unwind while socializing, networking, enjoying cigars and spirits with like-minded individuals.
