At STAT Business Systems, we were honored to once again sponsor The Great Smoke, America’s premier cigar event, which returned this year with the captivating “Renaissance Revival” theme. Held on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at the South Florida Fairgrounds, The Great Smoke 2025 provided an unforgettable experience for cigar aficionados both on-site and online.
A Celebration Like No Other
Renowned as the country’s largest and most celebrated cigar event, The Great Smoke consistently delivers an unmatched blend of cigars, cuisine, entertainment, and camaraderie. This year, attendees were transported into a dazzling Renaissance atmosphere, complete with elaborate performances, delectable food, premium cigars, and memorable interactions with industry legends.
For those who participated virtually, the fully interactive experience was hosted by cigar personality Michael Herklots alongside co-hosts Kim Keeny and Paul DeGrocco. Virtual attendees received exceptional PartyPack swag boxes shipped directly to their homes, ensuring everyone could share in the excitement.

At STAT Business Systems, we understand the value of comfort and convenience in enhancing event experiences. Building upon our successful hydration sponsorship in 2024, we proudly provided essential water stations throughout the event grounds, keeping attendees refreshed as they explored everything The Great Smoke had to offer.
More Than Just Cigars
The festivities began well before the main event, starting Thursday, March 13, with engaging pre-event activities including bourbon tastings and kickoff parties at Smoke Inn Boynton Beach. The legendary Red Meat Lover’s Club dinner, featuring Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Cigars, took place Friday evening, delivering a feast fit for royalty.
Saturday’s main event at the South Florida Fairgrounds attracted cigar enthusiasts nationwide, providing them with unique swag boxes packed with exclusive cigars and commemorative items, eliminating the need for traditional ticket books. The celebration continued beyond the main event with an unforgettable afterparty and concluded Sunday with a farewell brunch.
