We are proud to celebrate our 5th year in our capital city, Tampa! Each year, we've brought you unforgettable experiences you can't find anywhere else, from touring the oldest operating factory in the U.S. to hands-on rolling classes taught by master rollers to unforgettable lounge crawls through the city. Join us March 18-22, 2026, as we honor the culture, history, and camaraderie of the cigar lifestyle.
Smoke with cigar brand owners, sip with liquor brand creators, and party alongside lounge owners right here in the heart of Cigar City. This year's lineup includes exclusive events such as the Family of the Leaf Beach Barbeque, the Shades of the Leaf party, and our crowd favorite Comedy Show. We'll cap it all off with our 5th anniversary Gala, featuring Chef Amadeus of Food Network and the cuisine provided by the Black Farmers of America. Come celebrate this milestone with us; it's going to be unforgettable!
