On March 20, 2026, Caribbean Cigar Night 2026 took place at Blue JackTar The Garden, organized by the team behind the annual Caribbean event.
The event was ticketed and gathered approximately 200 attendees, including a diverse mix of consumers, retailers, shop owners, brand owners, and content creators, along with industry figures such as Carlito Fuente and Henky Kelner.
It was held in an open-air setting, supported by a truss-based structure, designed to maintain a comfortable smoking environment despite the size of the crowd. The format was primarily social, centered on open smoking, live music, and scheduled raffles, without a focus on product launches or structured technical presentations.
Brands associated with Procigar were present, including its member companies, along with Indian Motorcycle Cigars.
- Suitable conditions for smoking: the layout, spacing, and ambient control allowed for a comfortable smoking experience while maintaining conversation-friendly noise levels.
- Consistent service execution: staff performance remained steady throughout the event, with continuous beverage availability and no visible operational disruptions.
- Direct access to industry figures: the presence of manufacturers, including brand owners such as Jochy Blanco, enabled direct interaction in an informal setting.
Caribbean Cigar Night reinforces a format centered on direct interaction and social engagement within the cigar industry, functioning primarily as a gathering point rather than a structured platform.
Its main value lies in the concentration of key industry participants within an accessible and relaxed environment, a dynamic not commonly found outside formal trade events.
