Smoke-onos 2027 Dates Set: May 14–16 at Best Cigar Prices for Its 30th Anniversary
Mark the calendar. Smoke-onos is coming back to the Pocono Mountains on May 14–16, 2027, and Best Cigar Prices is tying the weekend to its 30th anniversary. The main event lands on Saturday, May 15, at Best Cigar Prices & Pub, 1 Hillside Drive, Drums, Pennsylvania—the same headquarters campus that has hosted the multi-vendor party since the festival’s first year.
Best Cigar Prices floated the 2027 dates around October 9, 2026, as a save-the-date with a promise of exclusive releases and a full weekend of experiences. The official site now confirms the three-day window and puts the Saturday main event front and center: 35-plus cigar vendors, plus spirits and beer vendors, all on site in Eastern Pennsylvania.
What Is Locked In (and What Is Still TBD)
Here is the weekend outline posted on the Smoke-onos home page:
- Friday, May 14 (morning): TBD
- Friday night: TBD
- Saturday, May 15: Main Event — 35+ cigar vendors, plus spirits and beer vendors
- Saturday night: TBD
- Sunday, May 16: TBD
That “TBD” list is honest. Ticket pricing, travel packages and named exclusives are not published for 2027 yet, and merchandise is still “$TBD.” Save the dates, watch the tickets page, and do not wait until late April to book lodging.
According to the festival FAQ, tickets will sell on Eventbrite, day-of sales are not expected, and refunds are available through April 15, 2027. The FAQ also says ticket sales are set to close Saturday, May 1, at 11:59 p.m. ET unless inventory sells out earlier. Shuttle service is flagged for Friday and Saturday to partner hotels and lots once travel details firm up.
House Rules Worth Knowing Now
Smoke-onos is 21 and over with a valid ID. It is also a cash-free event: credit/debit cards and digital wallets only. Those rules are already on the home page and FAQ, so pack accordingly when the weekend finally arrives.
Demand has mattered in past years. The current tickets page still shows last year’s General, VIP, Super-VIP and Executive tiers marked sold out—a useful reminder that the 2026 edition filled those passes. Treat that as 2026 context, not a 2027 price list. No 2027 ticket prices are published yet, and we will not invent them.
Why This Trip Is Worth Planning
Consumer festivals are where the hobby gets loud in the best way: brands on the ground, limited sticks changing hands, and a full day of smoking without racing between downtown lounges. Smoke-onos leans into that model at a single campus—warehouse and pub included—rather than spreading attendees across a convention center city.
If you have followed our event coverage, you know how fast a big weekend fills. We were on the ground for PCA 2026 in New Orleans, and the same lesson applies here: calendars fill months ahead even when ticket portals are still quiet. A Pocono weekend with 35-plus vendors, spirits and beer sampling, and a milestone anniversary for Best Cigar Prices is exactly the kind of trip worth blocking early—especially if you are flying into Eastern Pennsylvania or driving from the Mid-Atlantic.
Exclusive releases are promised for the anniversary edition, but none have been named yet. When BCP and its partners publish that list, we will come back with a deeper guide. For now, the dates and Saturday’s main-event format are enough to start travel research.
The Cigar Guys’ Take
We like a clear save-the-date. May 14–16, 2027, in Drums, with Saturday carrying the multi-vendor show, is the news. Kickoff parties, after-parties, Sunday plans, ticket tiers and exclusives should land as the site moves off “TBD.”
We will update when tickets open and when exclusives are named. Until then: put it on the calendar and watch smokeonos.com.
