Lots of news coming from Ventura Cigars these days! The press release seems to indicate that the rolling event is sold out, so I’m not sure what the purpose or promoting this is, except to promote the Big Smoke, but here it is anyway. I remember Michael G. having rolling events ad contests when he was the face of La Gloria Cubana, and he certainly knows his way around a rolling table, I’ve witnessed this myself. If you are lucky enough to attend this event, please let me know, I’d love to provide a place for you to share that experience if you were so inclined! Don’t forget to vote! today!
Learn how to roll your own Archetype Axis Mundi as Ventura Cigars shares their craft at Cigar Aficionado’s upcoming event.
Ventura Cigar Company (VCC) is making Las Vegas an extra lucky destination for those heading to Cigar Aficionado’s Big Smoke 2018. Held November 9 through November 11 at the Mirage in Las Vegas, Big Smoke gives premium cigar fans the opportunity to sample sticks from top producers in the industry, and to meet, smoke or pose for a photo with some of their favorite cigarmakers. Not just handing out samples, Ventura Cigars is upping the ante, adding a DIY element to the event. Attendees who come by their booth on Friday or Saturday nights will be treated to a cigar-rolling session led by Michael Giannini and VCC special guest, Indiana Ortez, Cigar Master and the skilled blender behind the Ventura Cigar Company’s exclusive Fathers, Friends, and Fire cigar. Michael Giannini, the General Manager of Ventura Cigar Company and industry icon, will be welcoming guests to the booth, sharing smokes and stories as they roll their own Axis Mundi cigar. Michael will also be hosting a larger-scale Rolling Event alongside Indiana Ortez during the Cigar Aficionado “Roll Your Own” event on Sunday, November 11, which promises to be a highlight of the weekend.
A veteran of hosting rolling events, Giannini will impart his tricks and entertaining stories of the trade as he and Indiana guide attendees through the creation of their Axis Mundi, likely revealing some interesting behind-the-scenes details on the happenings at Ventura Cigar Company.
“I’m so glad to be headed back to Big Smoke,” says Giannini. “Cigar Aficionado knows how to put on a solid event, and I’m excited to be with the Ventura Cigars crew, putting our Archetype Axis Mundi cigar in the spotlight. It’s a natural choice to highlight here, since Cigar Aficionado recognized Axis Mundi as the #13 Cigar of the Year for 2017. We’re pleased to be sharing this standout cigar with Big Smoke attendees, and maybe a few of our secrets too.”
The Big Smoke 2018 Roll-Your-Own-Cigar seminar is currently sold out, but tickets are available for the Friday and Saturday evening events.
