This year, Atlanta Cigar Week® is set to receive its second proclamation from the city of Atlanta during the Friday night event, further cementing its legacy & position within the city’s cultural landscape. Known for bringing together cigar aficionados and newcomers alike, the week fosters meaningful connections and celebrates the sophistication of fine cigars.
As part of CEN’s media sponsorship, the company will have a booth called the “CEN Vibe Lounge” that will move locations daily to mimic Atlanta Cigar Week’s event schedule. John Salley, former NBA basketball player and current cigar enthusiast, was tapped by CEN to host and serve as live reporter at the event. Throughout the week, Salley will be a part of numerous events as well as enjoying the festivities right alongside everyone else.
“Being a part of the Culture Entertainment Network and hosting the Vibe Lounge during Atlanta Cigar Week just made sense – culture, community, and vibrations in one of my favorite cities!” said John Salley.
