While they operate in different channels, they share a common vision for the industry's future, emphasizing the importance of collaboration. Smoker Friendly hosts the popular Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival, attracting 2,500 attendees to Colorado annually. Best Cigar Prices recently launched their own multi-brand event, Smoke-onos Cigar Festival, which will bring 900 attendees to Pennsylvania, with plans to grow.

Greg sought Terry's advice to ensure Smoke-onos’s success. Terry eagerly shared his knowledge and even offered to attend the festival.
