The annual festival put on by Nice Ash Cigar and Lounge benefits veterans through the locally based Veteran’s Outreach Center. Sponsored by several cigar producers led by Tampa’s J.C. Newman Cigar, over 200 people attended and received 20-25 cigars as part of the price of admission, while swag bags included branded pint glasses, a shirt and a complimentary copy of the latest issue of Cigar Snob Magazine. The pig roast dinner was handled by Hot Pig on Wheels, local beer came from Wicked Warren’s Brewery, and a raffle kicked out $4,000 worth of giveaway goodies.
