Puros With a Purpose Returns to Miami Lakes on Nov. 14 for a Charity Domino Tournament

South Florida has a charity cigar date this Saturday. Long Ashes Cigar Club, working with the Oliva Helping Hands Foundation, is hosting 2026 Puros With a Purpose on Saturday, November 14, at Chela’s Coctelería in Miami Lakes. Per the event’s ticket listing, the day is a domino tournament wrapped around cigars, food, and live music, with the goal of bringing joy to children and hope to communities in tobacco-growing regions during the holiday season.

A recent Instagram post from @epicureansmokes calls it the Third Annual Puros With a Purpose and says the club expects more than 30 premium cigar brands and about 350 guests. Those figures line up with the official flyer, which bills the event as +350 guests, +30 brands, and 1 common goal. See the full listing and ticket info on TheCigarEvents.com.

Looking Past the Cigar

The official flyer and the event’s ticket listing share the same thesis: this is about honoring the people and communities behind the leaf. The listing describes the event as “about looking past the cigar and honoring the hands that made it,” and as a way to “bring joy to children and hope to communities during the holiday season.” The flyer adds that it is a celebration of a shared passion for cigars and a meaningful chance to give back to families in tobacco-growing regions throughout the Caribbean and Central America.

@epicureansmokes is more specific about the geography and the partners. That post says proceeds will support children and families in tobacco-growing communities in Nicaragua, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic, and lists charitable partners including the Oliva Helping Hands Foundation and the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation. The event’s ticket listing names Oliva Helping Hands Foundation as the organizer and does not itself list the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation, so we are treating that second partner mention as coming from the Instagram recap.

A Domino Tournament and a Full Afternoon

This is not a tasting-only mixer. The event’s ticket listing describes a 2026 Domino Tournament, with registration at 12:00 p.m. and the tournament at 2:00 p.m. It says there will be 48 teams and over 350 attendees. The official flyer agrees on the guest-facing schedule: doors open at 12:00 p.m., and the event begins at 2:00 p.m. The listing’s published window runs from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern.

Around the tables, the program is built for a long afternoon. The flyer lists cigars, cocktails, live music, and dominoes. Regular admission includes a taco station hosted by Chela’s. Instagram and the flyer both point to a large brand turnout—more than 30 premium cigar brands and industry partners, according to @epicureansmokes.

The venue is Chela’s Coctelería (also listed as Chela’s Miami) at 15301 NW 67th Ave, Miami Lakes, FL 33014. That is the address on both the official flyer and the event’s ticket listing.

The listing also includes a short club bio. Long Ashes Cigar Club was founded in 2018 in Miami and describes itself as a private, gentlemen-only community of cigar aficionados focused on supporting the industry, building relationships, and giving back, with partnerships involving more than 10 South Florida retailers.

Tickets and What Each Tier Includes

Three ticket tiers are published on the event’s ticket listing, at the prices below:

• Regular admission: $50. Includes two cigars, a drink ticket, access to the taco station hosted by Chela’s Coctelería, and live music.
• Aficionado: $300, billed as “The Collector’s Experience.” Includes event access for you and one guest, one LACC backpack with 30-plus cigars, three drink tickets, and food-station access. This tier is not for tournament play.
• Reserva: $1,000, billed as “The Tournament Experience.” The listing currently shows this tier as sold out. It includes one team entry (two domino players) plus two guests, two LACC backpacks with 30-plus cigars, four drink tickets per player, and food access.

How to Get There

If you are already planning a South Florida cigar weekend, this one is straightforward: Saturday afternoon in Miami Lakes, doors at noon, tournament at 2. See the full listing and ticket info on TheCigarEvents.com. TheCigarEvents is the free national premium cigar event calendar we wrote about earlier this week.

The @epicureansmokes Instagram post is a useful snapshot of how the event is being talked about in the community this week, including the third-annual framing and the expected guest and brand counts. For the official schedule, address, and ticket terms, see the TheCigarEvents listing and the official flyer.

The Cigar Guys’ Take

Charity cigar days work when the details are clear and the money has a destination. Puros With a Purpose is specific on both counts: a 48-team domino tournament, a published door time, a $50 entry that already includes two cigars and a drink, and a fundraising story tied to the communities that grow the leaf. The $300 and $1,000 tiers are aimed at people who want a backpack of cigars or a seat at the tables. Regular admission is the path if you just want to be there.

If you are going, get the ticket through TheCigarEvents.com before Saturday, and confirm any team registration directly with the organizers at the email above. Reserva is already gone.
