Fine Tobacco NYC
Founded in 2009, Fine Tobacco NYC doubles as a cigar and spirits review blog and an event community. Since 2010, we have hosted hundreds of events for New York City cigar and spirits enthusiasts. Our research indicates that, with over 1500 event attendees annually, Fine Tobacco NYC is the largest, regularly meeting group of cigar smokers in the United States and possibly the world. In 2018, we expanded our offerings to private corporate cigar and whisky events.
Mission
To create a space for cigar lovers (beginners and enthusiasts) to meet, discover new products, and learn about the art, enjoyment, and craft of cigars. As a byproduct of our events, we hope to strengthen the community of New York City retailers by creating awareness of their history and value.[1]
