Introduction
The Great Smoke 2021 takes place on February 20th, 2021 via a virtual broadcast, a watch party, and an in-person event. We love The Great Smoke, having attended the event multiple times. Unfortunately, the traditional event has been replaced with a mostly COVID friendly version. While most of us can’t attend the multi-day extravaganza Smoke Inn typically puts on, you can enjoy the event from the safety of your man cave, back porch, or favorite socially distanced cigar shop. You can watch the event for FREE and tickets are on sale now for additional access, cigars, and swag. Read more for all the details of this truly unique event.

- Digitally streaming through your internet enabled TV, smartphone, tablet, etc.
