This is an outdoor event held at the Amphitheater in Hermann, located at 231 E. 5th Street, Hermann, MO.
NO OUTSIDE FOOD, DRINKS, OR COOLERS ALLOWED.
General Admission ticket includes cigars from both General Cigar Company and Oliva Cigar Company, samples from all of the whiskey distilleries present*, samples from BBQ competitors (be sure to vote for your favorite!), attendance to the Cigars 101 seminar, live music on the stage all day, and access to the silent auction. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the day!
The VIP Ticket includes Friday evening pre-event cocktail party, early entry on SmokeFest day (at 10:30am), special LARGE covered seating (tables, chairs, and fans included), two extra cigars, a gift bag with goodies, access to the silent auction, and complimentary entry into the Cigar Fuma Seminar.
The No-Sticks Ticket includes all of the benefits of the General Admission Ticket, except cigars are NOT included. Perfect for the non-cigar-smokers who still want to enjoy sampling whiskey, BBQ, and listening to live music!
The BBQ competition is open for all amatuer BBQers, and the winner of the competition will bring home bragging rights, a beautiful plaque, and a cash prize of $100! In addition, 2 complimentary tickets to enjoy all of the festivities of SmokeFest are available for BBQ Competitors!
Email Colleen to ask for more details if you'd like to participate in the amatuer BBQ competition: HogsHeadCigars@gmail.com
Two breakout seminars: Cigars 101 and Cigar Fuma Tasting.
Cigars 101 is complimentary to all who purchase event tickets.
The Cigar Fuma Tasting seminar will be an add-on event ticket (included with the VIP ticket), limited to 20 spots.
We are thrilled to have two talented musicians this year! Live music on the stage:
Stephen Jones is a talented musician who frequently plays at local venues. He is a singer & songwriter, who offers a mixture of classic rock, some country selections, and a few surprises! https://www.facebook.com/iamstephenjonesmusic
and
2nd musician TBD
This is an outdoor, open-air venue, and this event will occur rain or shine (hopefully shine and not too hot).
If you plan to stay in town for the weekend while attending SmokeFest, please refer to VisitHermann.com, and click on "Inviting Accomodations" to find the perfect spot in town so you don't have to drive after sampling whiskies.
Our charities this year, to which ALL proceeds from the event and silent auction are donated are the Mid-Missouri Fisher House https://www.midmofisherhouse.org/
and our local Food Pantry.
Last year we donted $5000 toward the NEW facilty in Columbia, MO for the Fisher House AND $1000 to the local food bank just in time for the holidays. AMAZING! Thank you to last year's SmokeFest attendees for these wonderful gifts!
