New England Cigar Expo Returns to Windham This Weekend
Cigar lovers across the Northeast are heading to Windham, New Hampshire, this Friday and Saturday, September 25 and 26, for the 2026 New England Cigar Expo. Now in its fourth year, the two day gathering at Dreamers Ranch has become a fixture on the region's cigar calendar, pulling in visitors from more than 30 states and several countries to a property roughly 30 miles outside Boston.
The show is put on by Two Guys Cigars, a New Hampshire retailer with stores in Salem, Seabrook, and Nashua. Its origin traces back to a venue dispute: the hall that had hosted the shop's anniversary party for years stopped permitting cigar smoke, leaving owner David Garofalo searching for an alternative. Finding one wasn't simple, since it also needed room for the hundreds of guests his events typically draw. Dreamers Ranch, a farm and cattle ranch in Windham known locally for its youth mentorship work, turned out to have the space, and the expo grew from there.
16 cigar manufacturers are bringing a combined 32 cigars to this year's show, among them Perdomo, United Cigar, Aganorsa Leaf, J.C. Newman, Aladino, Rocky Patel, Nestor Miranda, Aging Room, Kristoff, West Tampa Tobacco, Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust, Atabey, HVC, Micallef, CLE, and Bentley Cigars.
The format has generally followed the same shape in recent years: Friday brings a sit down dinner, music, and a chance to mingle with well known figures from the cigar world, while Saturday shifts into a full festival day with vendor tables and entertainment spread across the ranch. Prior expos have also included comedy performances, a prize driven game show segment, and food trucks on site, though this year's exact schedule hasn't been independently confirmed.
Tickets went on sale back in May through the shop's website and its three retail locations, and given how quickly past editions have sold out, last minute availability for this weekend may be tight.
