Update - September 15, 2025

To Our Valued Crew at Smoke and Joe Cigar Lounge,

Imagine this: the rich, smoky scent of a premium cigar curling through the air, the electric buzz of a packed lounge, and the heart-pounding thrill of walking away with a sleek humidor, a rugged cooler, or a massive 70” TV that screams status. Our raffles at Smoke and Joe Cigar Lounge aren’t just giveaways—they’re a lifestyle upgrade, a chance to connect, and a way to ignite the kind of moments that make you feel alive. But here’s the deal: that fire doesn’t burn without you. We need your energy to make this place the undeniable hotspot it’s meant to be.

The Stakes: Big Brands, Big Prizes, Big Crowds

Let’s talk straight. The cigar world’s heavy hitters—those manufacturers behind your favorite sticks—don’t just hand out coolers, backpacks, travel cases, or custom humidors to every lounge. They chase crowds. They show up with contests, promotions, and game-changing swag only where they see strong, consistent support.  Believe me it ridiculous 99% of the cigar companies out there have reps who cherry pick. We fight it everyday. Right now, Smoke and Joe Cigar Lounge isn’t getting the love it deserves from these brands. Why? Because those companies play favorites, focusing on lounges that hit their “minimums”, and have customer support. Without enough foot traffic, their reps don’t even walk through the doors of some retailers. It’s a brutal truth, and it’s forced us to dig into our pockets to buy those massive TVs, smokers, grills, humidors, and more just to keep the excitement alive for you, and has kept us from getting many new cigars hitting the market over the years. 

Why the Pause? And How You Can Change the Game

As our raffle terms stated, “Smoke and Joe Cigar Lounge reserves the right to suspend, modify, or terminate any raffle at any time for operational, legal, or other necessary reasons.” For operational reasons, we’ve decided to suspend our current raffle. This wasn’t a call we made lightly—trust us, we live for the moment you claim that prize and feel like a king. But to bring back those jaw-dropping giveaways and get those big-name reps knocking, we need you to show up, not just for a quick stick, but to soak in the vibe, light up, and keep coming back. Your presence sends a signal to the brands that Smoke and Joe Cigar Lounge is the place to be. It’s the key to unlocking their support, their events, and their premium swag.

Our Commitment: We’re Here for You

We’re not just a lounge—we’re your trusted source for unforgettable experiences, built on passion, integrity, and a relentless drive to give you more. We’ve gone all in, funding those big prizes ourselves because you deserve the best. But imagine what we could do together. With your support, we can turn this lounge into a magnet for the biggest names in cigars, delivering the kind of rewards that make every visit epic. Brands you’ve been asking for, but we’re not able to get right now without your help. We love being part of your crew, and we’re calling on you to join us in proving to all those brands out there we’re worth it.

Seize the Moment—Let’s Make It Legendary

This is your shot to master the moment. Come to Smoke and Joe Cigar Lounge. Stay awhile. Light up. Connect. Show those brands we’ve got the crowd they can’t ignore. We’re beyond grateful for every one of you who makes this place special, and we’re fired up to build something unstoppable together. The choice is simple: jump in now, be part of our community, and let’s unlock the rewards that’ll have everyone talking. Don’t wait—this is too good to miss.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Smoke and Joe Cigar Lounge
