Cigar and Lifestyle Fest Debuts with Sophisticated Firepower
The inaugural Cigar and Lifestyle Fest rolls into the Greater Philly Expo Center this November, and fellow cigar enthusiasts—this one’s not to be missed. Running from November 28 through 30, 2025, this expertly curated event is equal parts herf, style summit, and sanctuary. Sponsored by XIKAR and Black Heart Tattoo & Gallery, the Cigar and Lifestyle Fest is your invitation to experience the refined world of cigars, spirits, watches, apparel, and accessories—all under one roof.
Founder Allan Lane, the sharp mind behind Club For Man and dosage MAGAZINE, put it best: “Cigars have a way of slowing the day down and creating an intimate and personal self-therapy session that lasts for about an hour.” That sentiment is the heart of the Cigar and Lifestyle Fest, a space where indulgence is intentional, connections are meaningful, and every detail has been selected with quiet luxury in mind.
What to Expect at the Cigar and Lifestyle Fest 2025
Things kick off Friday at 5 PM with a VIP sneak preview party, where early-access attendees can shop exclusive cigars from boutique manufacturers and enjoy tastes from hand-selected spirits like Illadelph Vodka and Bluebird Distilling. The event also satisfies the sweet tooth, with desserts from Curated Cart and espresso blends from Cafe Duskaia to balance the flavor profile of your favorite smoke.
But make no mistake: the Cigar and Lifestyle Fest is more than a cigar herf. It’s a lifestyle immersion. Premium watches, high-style jewelry, and finely crafted accessories line the vendor booths. Philadelphia’s own K.Vaughn returns to the spotlight with a brand-new collection of scarves designed specifically for the modern cigar aficionado. High-performance eye candy arrives via The Petrol Vault’s luxury car and motorcycle showcase—where horsepower meets heritage in two- and four-wheeled form.
Art lovers will appreciate the live tattooing from the crew at Black Heart Tattoo & Gallery, while other regional artists and local makers offer gift-worthy goods that you won’t find on Amazon. DJ Vader will be spinning live all weekend, giving the event the kind of smooth soundtrack that pairs perfectly with a puff and a pour.

All-access doesn’t have to mean high-ticket. Friday’s VIP preview is just $20, while General Admission for Saturday or Sunday is a budget-friendly $10 per day.
