Official Announcement of the Third Annual Chattanooga Tweet-Up and Cigar Festival

March 13, 2013

Burns Tobacconist and the Tiki Bar Online are happy to announce the third annual Chattanooga Tweet-Up and Cigar Festival, scheduled for Thursday through Saturday, August 1 through 3, 2013, in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

In the past two years, the Chattanooga Tweet-Up has garnered national attention and a great reputation for providing a great consumer-level cigar event with multiple cigar vendors sponsoring, tons of special guests, and unexpected surprises.

This year the team is pulling out all the stops to make this the best Tweet-Up yet. We already have over 25 cigar companies confirmed to sponsor and at least a dozen special guests from the industry…and if history is any indication, we will be adding more sponsors and guests almost every week until the event kicks off!

To cut down on confusion about “what ticket or package to buy?” from the last couple year, there will be a single consolidated “all-access” ticket this year, projected to be about $75 and including a grab bag of cigars from the sponsors, discounts on all sponsor products in the shop, a raffle ticket (with opportunities to get more), an event t-shirt, the Thursday night Tweet-Up Kickoff Party (sponsored by House of Emilio and featuring a selection of cigars from Emilio Cigars and their distribution partners), Friday night’s River Boat cruise on the Tennessee River (sponsored by Drew Estate & Joya de Nicaragua, and featuring extra cigars for those who get on the boat, AND featuring a liquor tasting by Prichard Distillery of Kelso, TN, makers of fine spirits like Tennessee Whiskey, Bourbon, and Rum), and the Saturday night After-Party (sponsored by RoMa Craft, who will be giving out cigars to attendees, and also featuring a mechanical bull).

The Chattanooga Tweet-Up and Cigar Festival has its own website now at www.chattanoogatweetup.com. All information and updates can be found there.

Tickets will be limited to the first 300 buyers and will go on sale around April 1. You won’t want to miss this one!
