Step beyond the ordinary and into a world of wonder. The Great Smoke 2027: Arabian Nights transforms South Florida into an immersive escape of mystery, opulence, and indulgence—where the ancient allure of desert legends meets the modern luxury of cigar culture. For one unforgettable four day weekend, the sands of time shift, and a new story begins.

The journey begins long before the main event. Prepare for four unforgettable days of indulgence, including exclusive pre-event gatherings, immersive themed parties, legendary afterparties, and the grand spectacle itself. This is not just an event—it is an unfolding story.

The main event will once again take place at the South Florida Fairgrounds, transformed into a breathtaking Arabian Nights experience. Beneath soaring ceilings, guests will wander through lantern-lit pathways, surrounded by rich textures, flowing fabrics, and captivating visual elements suspended above. Live performances, premium cigars, gourmet food, and expertly crafted cocktails will fill the environment, creating a fully immersive celebration alongside the greatest names in the cigar industry.

In 2027, the culinary experience reaches an entirely new level. All event food will be curated and catered by Potions in Motion—the renowned team behind the Red Meat Lover’s Club Dinner and, since 2026, the elevated TGS Brunch experience. Known for delivering bold, high-end culinary presentations with flawless execution, Potions in Motion will ensure that every bite throughout the event matches the grandeur and immersion of the Arabian Nights theme.

The magic of The Great Smoke once again extends beyond the gates and into your home. Whether you join us live in South Florida or from afar through our Virtual Experience, you will be fully immersed in the journey. Returning to guide you through the night is Michael Herklots as Virtual Host, alongside Kim Keeny and Paul DeGrocco reporting live from the field. Broadcasting from the TGS on-site studio, they will bring every moment, every reveal, and every surprise directly to you.

Whether attending live or virtually, every guest will receive the legendary TGS PartyPack. In 2027, the experience evolves once again. Live attendees will receive a custom-designed Arabian Nights SWAG BOX upon entry—a treasure chest worthy of the journey—containing all event cigars inside. No lines, no waiting, just immediate immersion into the experience. Virtual attendees will receive their packages in advance, ready to be opened as the live broadcast unfolds.

The Red Meat Lover’s Club Dinner returns as an essential chapter of the journey, featuring special guest Steve Saka. Guests will indulge in an unforgettable feast of endless premium cuts, lavish starters, and a dining experience designed to overwhelm the senses. This is not dinner—it is a ritual. (Separate ticket required.)

Whether you walk the grounds in person or experience the magic from your own lounge, The Great Smoke 2027: Arabian Nights is more than an event. It is a celebration of craft, a gathering of culture, and a journey into something extraordinary. And like all great stories, those who were there will never forget it.
