Here is the description for the one near me. I believe there is a dinner and you get the smokes paired with dinner as well as the 2 exclusive smokes. All the money goes to charity. Just wondering about others experiences at these types of events.

The Fuente and Newman families are excited to announce the 7th Annual Toast Across America to benefit The Cigar Family Charitable Foundation (CFCF). This event joins retailers and connoisseurs from all over the country who will help raise funds needed to continue the development of the first Cigar Family Community Complex in the fertile tobacco growing regions of the Dominican Republic. This years Toast Across America events will feature two exclusive cigars  Fuente Fuente Opus X and Diamond Crown Maximus paired together in a commemorative wooden box.

The Toast Across America can be in many forms. The core of it is to sell a special 2-pack with one Opus X and one Diamond Crown Maximus. They cost $50 which all goes to Cigar Family Charity. Some shops pair it with a dinner or some other function. We are having one at my shop and are pairing it with a tasting of Fuente and J.C. Newman products.

Awesome. Thank you!

Seems like I remember Guinness doing something similar. I don't remember if it was for a charity or just a marketing thing, but it was a good excuse to get together with some friends, and hoist a pint or two!!

They are having one of these at a local I frequent.  Serving dinner, having a freebie cigar, and of course the purchase price includes the 2 Toast Across America cigars.

Unfortunately, I'm on a purchase freeze....

nwb

There's a local shop that had this event as well. I passed up on it because of work. I would try and go to the next one if my schedule permits.

when are you planning to have this event?

that last post was a question to podman (im still getting used to this site... and maybe a little stupid )
